TGDT: 3/9 Blackhawks @ Lightning 6:30PM CSN/VERSUS

[R K]

Its not just the Hawks, RK. Lidstrom got a high stick vs Handzus and LA scored on that play. It was pretty clear. Not that I give a shit about DET (and Hawks gained another point on them)...just saying its everywhere and it sucks. Sedin vs PHX the other nite...Belanger tapped him and he went down like he got shot.

I agree it's 100% accross the board. That said the hawks have been buy far screwed many more times than the other way this year.



I always say it evens out, but this year, no way.

 

[Ashor-redtribe]

No way. SLeep walking or not Vocoun stole that game. They pumbled him.

I know Rk, my point was when asked is there any games that we don't question..I replied back that, yes I did not question the game against the Panthers because we lost that game in the first...Vocoun was Great.

 

[PatrickShart]

as a matter of fact yes..against the Panthers..that was all Hawks that lost that one...by sleep walking in the first. Shell I list more games.

Nope...I understand.

 

[MassHavoc]

I thought the 2 bad calls were the missed elbow to Bollands head - how is that not as bad as Hjarlmarsson's hit or some of the other head shots, I'll never know. Then, that delay of game versus Hjarlmarsson. Yet...they let that trip go against Vinny in OT...so who knows what the ****.



Team played pretty hard being down Campbell, Stalberg...then Bolland. To come back, and get a point shows some character. It wasnt one of Hossa's (-2) best games and I hope this means he doesnt go back into hiding for a few weeks. He's too important.



Campoli's looking good. I hope Scooter can find a way to keep him and go with this group of 6 going into next year.

I think they let the trip go on Vinny because they missed the interference on the other end.

 

[Ashor-redtribe]

It really doesn't matter at this point..all that matters is come Sunday we will not be in Forth anymore. So we need to win against the Caps and San Jose. We need that energy and speed that we had in the first Period during that 8 game streak.

 

[R K]

If Calgary wins tonight we won't be in 4th. But we will once again have two games in hand.



I think at this point the Hawks need to focus on catching the Wings.

Yea they weren't calling anything in OT. I'd like to know where the hooking call was on Bickells break away. Stick definitely was at Bickells waist when he took the shot.

very true. if we only had won these two games. 1 point from the wings.

would be 2pts and they have a game in hand.

I can find blame very easily in that game. Crawford played like shit so you can blame him or you can blame Q for starting him when Turco really should have played that game.

 

[R K]

Pavel Kubina is scheduled to have a phone conversation Thurs with the league regarding elbow incident to Dave Bolland tonight





Not like these games are important or anything. Why this was not called will be yet another mystery.

I was talking about officiating . I did not blame officating in that game since the topic was officiating

 

[PatrickShart]

If Bolland is out...whats the next move? Sharp to Center...or Kopecky?

 

[BigPete]

Wow we are doing a lot of crying over an excellent hockey game that we just happened to lose. It was a good goal get over it. Hell St.Louis has a bit more class than to pull an illegal move anyway. If we were going to lose to the Bolts I don't mind losing to him, he's an excellent player, hell he's the best player on the team. It was a great defensive game despite the score. Roly had a very good game in net. The Tampa defense did exactly what they needed to do, take away the ability to set up and get a strong cycle going.

Good goal? Really? Stop whining, cause whining ain't going to change shit? Okay, fair enough. But stop whining because we clearly got fucked...yeah, I think not. Feel free to not read this: We got fucked!!!! (in my most whiny voice possible)

 

[PatrickShart]

Stop saying "We got fucked".



TCD is getting horny.

 

[MassHavoc]

If Bolland is out...whats the next move? Sharp to Center...or Kopecky?

Think we saw it last night. Toews-Frolik-Johnson-Dowell.... down the middle? Or was Pisani in there centering, I couldn't tell. One thing I do know is that at this point you can't go sharp... that link is the only one working and you don't **** it up.

 

[PatrickShart]

However...the other 3 lines...not so good. So if they load one up, other teams can focus on just the one.



Hopefully he'll be fine.

 

[R K]

I actually thought Frolik did a good job. Q started with putting him on the 3rd line and moving Johnson up. As the game went along Frolik stepped up to the 2nd.



I'm guessing that's what happens.

Supra is incorrect. It was not a valid goal. But as this article suggests the NHL even knows what a sham the Shoot Out is, by not making those victories count in the standings. Which is even worse because the STANDINGS are incorrect when it comes to tie breakers.



The Shoot Out is a joke. It's ALWAYS been a joke. The NHL doesn't give a ****. Not one mention on NHL.com about the questionable goal, rather they say soemthing like Spectacular. Fucking Sham!

Hows that worked out so far that last month or so?
