CS85 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 That's 6 straight, with no signs of improvement. I forget, are we Blackhawks fans allowed to complain yet? Or does the skid have to hit double digits before we're permitted to raise polite objections to the team's level of play?Let's see, we won the Cup in '10, so that means we can't complain again until......2038.

BigEd76 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 If Philly can't beat the Isles, they don't deserve to qualify for the playoffs. Jeez.Knew they were gonna lose when it got to the shootout 1 point out of 6 against 3 division rivals....awful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njmeadowlanders Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_kP9X4j8js&feature=player_embeddedNot happy with this call. That's not why they lost (how about the 59 minutes & 56 seconds of other garbage throughout the game), even though Lundqvist was once again spectacular. Seeing it live I was flipping out that Gaborik was shoved, but I think the call was proper after I cooled off a bit, though I'm still not pleased of course. Anyone else?

Kramerica Industries Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Given that Volchenkov was pushing Gaborik that way, I think it's hard to ding Gaborik for the goaltender interference.I mean, it's possible that Gaborik's momentum would've led to him contacting Brodeur anyway, but the push-off should've eliminated that call. Disagree with the call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Given that Volenchov was pushing Gaborik that way, I think it's hard to ding Gaborik for the goaltender interference.I mean, it's possible that Gaborik's momentum would've led to him contacting Brodeur anyway, but the push-off should've eliminated that call. Disagree with the call.It was really, really hard to spy that right away watching it in real time. The snow was very evident, and the intention was obviously to slam on the brakes, but that's the way the cookie crumbled. Def lost out on a point, but I commend the Rangers for not going away quietly into the good night. I wish the damned Blackhawks had the same propensity.

Kramerica Industries Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Yeah. When it's apparent that an attacking player is pushed into the goaltender, it's unfair for the forward to be penalized for it.In any case, the Devils must've made a deal with themselves to be where they are in the standings, in large part because of nine shootout wins. They aren't a bad team, per se, but they aren't a 31-22 calibre team, by any stretch. Worst part is, they don't lose anymore either, and that includes beating some pretty good teams in that time span as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnus Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 As long as a team that hasn't won the Cup before has a shot at winning it, I'll be fine if my team doesn't get that far.I'm for parity, insomuch as every team should be able to compete with every other. It's sad to me when the same few teams win titles year after year.(i.e. Detroit, Jersey) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Guys, guys, we all know what dedicated, passionate, true hockey fans act like when their team's performance fails to meet expectations.So when the Hawks' season comes to an end this year, I look forward to meeting you all at State & Randolph with crowbars and canisters of gasoline.

CS85 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 So Hawks fans, do you think your GM will seriously look to add some goaltending depth soon?TSN/Chris Kuc "reported" that the hawks are looking into acquiring a goaltender. The only logical option I could see them getting on the cheap is:Still need vast defensive help. Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

Lee. Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I'm sure Steve Mason and his sweet new Jets pads could be gotten for Patrick Kane. Im sure he'd love to be on a line with his brother Evander. Welcome to DrunjFlix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, things got way out of hand in the early '00s, but the core of that 90s Wings' roster was drafted or traded for (such as Shanahan for Keith Primeau and Paul Coffee) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
