SoxFanForever Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Too bad the comeback fell short. Good to see them fight to the end though and make a game out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redandwhite Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 What a hockey game. I had all but considered the game tied on that Stuart penalty with 4 minutes to go. Luckily, the Blackhawks were less anxious on the power play than when they were without the man advantage. All around awesome game, the Thomas save at the end might have been the best of the season. Still, the Blackhawks fought until the end and look to be heading in the right direction in the last couple of weeks. Fun stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSGuy406 Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Aucoin and Cullimore are wastes of space. Aucoin -- the team captain -- barely plays 13 minutes tonight, while Cullimore, ON THE f***ING PK, tries to clear the puck through the center of the ice. By the end of the year, two of Vandermeer/Aucoin/Cullimore need to be gone, and Byfuglian and Barker need to be up here. Aucoin will be tough to move because of his salary, but he can sit in the press box every other game. Please, though, one of those three needs to be moved ASAP. It's sick watching 'em... slow as hell and not physical at all. Kudos to Wisniewski and Kuk for being our most consistent defenders this year.

DBAHO Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Dec 30, 2006 -> 08:41 AM) Also, I hear you can watch hockey games on yahoo....how do you do this? Is it free? Jason, download a program called TVU Player. Basically it has about 50 different channels, and about 2 or 3 hockey channels, so you can watch a few different games. The only bad thing about it for myself is that is uses up a lot of download limit (which we have down here unfortunately).

It shows in this new NHL which D-Men for us are going to be successful. It's the ones who can skate well and are quick around the ice. Aucoin and Cullimore aren't, and that's why they're struggling while the likes of Wisniewski, Kukkonen and Keith have thrived for us. Aucoin has what 2 years left after this one with $4M left on his deal. Offer him to a team that is really struggling with conceeding goals e.g Phoenix, Washington and Florida. But I'm not majorly disheartened by tonight's loss, because the Bruins have been playing very well lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Showtime Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 I was at the game tonight in SEC 212. The 3rd period was really exciting. The first two periods weren't very pretty and the power play is still horrible. Did Bonda leave the game? I don't recall seeing him much, after he got banged up early in the 1st. EDIT: I'd like to add that I thought Boucher did a good job in his 2 periods of play, and that the crowd was great tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing is I would give Keith some credit as well with Kuk and Wis - he logs the most ice time per game usually, and has 17 assists. He had a few bad games, but he really is a good defender and puck mover. Hell of a 3rd period effort tonight, but Thomas won it for them that period. 'The' save was unbelievable.

whitesoxfan101 Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 There is a lot you can about that game, but mainly, give the Boston goalie credit. If he doesn't make one of the saves of the year, the game almost assuredly goes to OT and the Hawks get at least 1 point after being down 4-0.

Peter Bondra injured his shoulder Friday vs. Boston and did not play in the 3rd period. Coach Denis Savard said that it "didn't look good" but didn't have any further details following the game. He'll be re-evaluated Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilJester99 Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 (edited) The Hawks can't catch a friggin break when it comes to injuries....Hopefully Bondra will be ok. By the sounds of it his shoulder at minimum is seperated. At least he scored his 500th goal with the Hawks.

EvilJester99 Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 This possible deal with TB could get interesting to say the least...Hope Tallon can get something done sooner than later. Given you can't put a lot of stock into Eklund though. Hawks interested in Fedotenko and Prospal (e3) Today @ 8:34 AM ET | Comments (0) The Lightning placed Dmitry Afanasenakov and Andreas Karlsson on waivers in a move that may be a pre-curser to a major trade. The Hawks are reportedly very interested in Fedotenko and Prospal, "but this trade could escalate beyond this," I am told. The Lightning are looking at defensemen, but neither Seabrook or Keith are available at that price. I will continue to look into this while I am relaxing and enjoying the beautiful weather down here in Longboat Key Florida. Last night I had a great dinner in St. Armand's Circle. It was a perfect evening. I started to feel that odd feeling of relaxation. I will be on XM at noon today with the guys on Home Ice 204.

DBAHO Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Hoping one of Aucoin or Cullimore goes in that deal, but I'm thinking it's probably Vandy who's sat out for the past 3 games. I'm thinking with our offense though, we have a lot of guys who can play say 2nd/3rd line roles well, the Bourque's, Sharp's, LaPointe's, Arkiphov's etc. So what I'm trying to say, if we're going to trade for offense, they have to be players who can put up 50-60 points a season as a minimum, be 1st/2nd line type of players, because we've got enough role players on the offensive side.

Queen Prawn Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 I like seeing Shanahan getting his ass handed to him lol. After some things that went down in the playoffs last year between the Sabres and the Canes, I lost a lot of respect for them - before then, I actually cheerer for them. As it turns out the Canes play the Penguins tonight. I hope the Canes can actually leave with all their players this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 i love seeing Shanny on NYR, hated him as a red wing. i give the man a lot of respect for getting in there with a big time enforcer and doing well. Brash is a goon. I HATE NOT HAVING VERSUS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Prawn Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Brash is a HUGE goon. He picked a fight with one of the Canes last season (I think one of the Addams Family) and they tried to make it some race thing. Come to think about it, I am fairly certain it was Kevin (one of the captains) that he took a cheap shot at and knocked out of the game and later one of the other guys threw the gloves down with Brash at the end of the game for retailiation.

I saw the ugly first period and went out after that. Anyone hae thoughts on the game? Seemed an excellent final period, and Savard probably laid into them after the 2nd period. Heck of a performance by Khabibulin, and you can probably put this win down to him. Performances like that are why we signed him to that huge contract. Luckily we ran into a team that is as terrible on the powerplay as we are, considering how many penalties we gave up tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilJester99 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 For the first 2 periods the Hawks didn't look to have much of anything going. Plus giving up all those penelties including 3, 5 on 3's tends to get you behind quickly. Thankfully they only fell behind 1 to nothing. The 3rd came and the Hawks looked like a totally different team. Glad to see them pull this game out considering the Blues have actually been playing a lot better themselves and the Hawks have somewhat dropped off.
