The Critic Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Last place in their division. 3rd worst offense in the NHL. 2-7-1 in their last 10 games. But I'm sure they're not that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Wow. That must mean your team REALLY sucks Mikko, because you just got soundly walloped in every single facet of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 QUOTE (The Critic @ Dec 28, 2008 -> 07:22 PM) NINE! Amazing that no Hawks team had ever done that before. This is pretty sweet. They haven't even needed the shootout to pull off these victories. I wouldn't change anything right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 FYI, there are getting to be some Winter Classic tickets around for less than face value if people are still wanting to go to the game... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craigslist and Stubhub if you are quick, but I have also heard some tickets getting offered around the office and mutal friends. The best deal I have heard so far was $300 for two of the middle tier of seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 There will be a ton available the night before and day of as well. If you REALLY want to go, go scalp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitetrain8601 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 They really should've made this game at Soldier Field. Cooler conditions and way better sightlines for such an event. Everyone, even the people in the "close" seats will have a terrible view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooler conditions and way better sightlines for such an event. Everyone, even the people in the "close" seats will have a terrible view. I have been saying that ever since they started talking about Wrigley as the locale for this game. Not to mention 25,000 more people could have gone to the game. Wrigley was just a dumb idea.

The Critic Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 The Wrigley decision was not made with the fans in attendance in mind. Like it or not, Wrigley Field is an iconic location, and more casual fans or non-fans will tune in for a hockey game at Wrigley than they would for a hockey game at USCF or Soldier. That was the main consideration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clyons Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 The Winter Classic is a total made-for-TV event. Any doubt as to that went out the window when they announced the rink configuration with the goals at first and third, so that NBC could shoot the iconic Wrigley scoreboard over center ice. If they had cared about the paying customers even getting to see the puck, they would have put the goals near left field and the visitors' on-deck circle, where the Bears used to have their endzones. Then at least fans along the third base line could have followed some of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxbrian Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 (edited) Right now for Thursday according to weather.com- 37 with snow showers. 37>32 32=freezing 37+ice=melt? 37+cold ground=fog I honestly wanted to sell these from the start but never got around to it. I wanted to watch it on my TV (inbetween periods watch Georgia/MSU) and then watch USC obliterate Penn State. Hopefully by the time I get home the USC game is still going on.

It was a clean hit. Kane's leg got caught under him and twisted in a very bad position. A bounty on Cleary would be unfair to him and a cheap move IMO.

The Critic Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Holmstrom does his normal planting in front of Khabi and Datsyuk tucks one into the corner of the net. PPG, 1-0 Wings. Good move to hook someone in your offensive zone, Byfuglien. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Critic Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Okay, seeing the replays that hit wasn't entirely clean. Cleary got the elbow up on Kane. That didn't cause the injury, though - Kane's skate stuck in the ice, causing his leg to turn inward in a very ugly way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted the same thing (they are due for a stinker) about the Sharks when they were red hot only to get blown out in Detroit recently. And if you are due for a stinker, Detroit can pounce on such an opportunity. Hopefully the Hawks get them back on New Years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
