maybe it's the fact that i had zero expectations, especially after the pre-season games.
but i haven't enjoyed watching blackhawk's games this much for a long time.

holy shit. this is hard to believe. Add a bit more to it......that's 9 years BEFORE the United Center opened. And the coach.....Orval Tessier (think that was the heart transplant year which was the 1 year I had season tickets at Chicago Stadium)

hits 27-19 hawks, blocked shots 20-6 hawks, giveaways much better just 10 by chicago to 9. shots 15-6 in the 3rd but we did a good job of hanging on. never sensed any panic out there. seemed to me we were losing more draws than winning but we won 58% tonight. jonny 8 of 15 domi 8 of 13 dickenson 6 of 13 wistle 6 of 9 lafferty 4 of 6 fun fact. dickenson and lafferty led the fwds in ice time tonight with 17:51 and 17:28, wistle last with 8:53. seth led the d at 24:26, little brother the least at 15:37. blackwell's 6 hits led the team by a longshot. mccabe had a strong game and led the team with 5 shot blocks. More great stats, especially the give aways. I noticed 3 by Caleb, 2 in the 1st and he high sticked Kane. Almost half of the 2nd was short handed, no wonder Laff n Dick were ice time leaders. 58% is surprising, didn't seem like it. Nice to see Entwistle getting around 9mins a game and not 5-6 like last season, plus he's not a healthy scratch at times.

we're 2 points out of first in the western conference with a game in hand on 3 of the 4 teams ahead of us.
not exactly tickled pink about this but i'm not exactly pissed off about it either.
i'm so confused.

From what I saw, they are only one point out of first in the Central with that one game in hand. Not at all what was expected, but good for them. As for the Kitty Kats, they aren't even kitties, they are cat fetuses. What a bunch of losers who are just following up from where they left off last year. The Hard Working Hawks do it again.

If this continues, the Hawks' first-rounder from Tampa Bay is going to be higher than their own. It's almost time to panic.

The other teams will learn that the Hawks are not pushovers. It'll get harder. Better start bringing up some of those prospects from Rockford. Give them a few days to experience playing in the bigs. With any luck, they will salvage a few defeats from the jaws of victory. I really don't want this unreasonable winning to go on much longer, or they will be end up being a team of sixes and sevens.

Wow what a fun game my daughter finally got acknowledged by Ruutu during warmups!! Boy it’s been fun to watch watch. Giveaways had been awful Luke goes to work on that only 10 tonight! Everything just seems to have purpose they don’t just hit to hit they finish checks to stop players from moving into danger areas. Hockey players are a different breed everyone in that room knew why they were brought there they play smart and hard for each other. How about that play by 19 ! They get in shooting lanes they get in passing lanes everyone seems to know where they are to be. Chicago we have a NHL coach !Luke had no word on TJ just hoping it wasn’t to bad . For the first time in about 2 years radio post game took calls from fans.Go for 5 Thursday!

You don't know the half of it, lol. Memory started giving me problems a couple of years ago. Alzheimer's runs in the family, so it is worrisome. I'm hoping its just the occasional senior moment.

i'll tell you what. scott darling is about as unrefined as they come, but i like his style. what about you guys? I was thinking the same thing tonight. He almost seems a little stoned when he has trouble finding the words, but I like his style and he comes across as genuine. Plus it's nice to hear things from a goalie perspective.

Plus it's nice to hear things from a goalie perspective. idk if you saw it but on the last page of the "what are we going to talk about now" thread, i posted a very relaxed interview of darling i found on YT. when i watched that interview i thought no way he'd be the between periods type of guy on the broadcasts. never judge a book buy it's cover i guess because it appears i was wrong. but i do get the sense he could be a bit of a loose cannon. if you watched the interview, you might see what i mean.

The couple of time I saw him, he reminded me a but of Sharp when Sharp first came in as an analyst. Raw and rough but had the chops. He's already better than Cheesedick in my opinion.
