clyons Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 First game at the UC this year last night. Hawks fired 21 shots in the 1st period. Only a couple of tough ones for Huet in the shutout. Wish tix weren't so expensive ($60 a pop in Section 332), but I guess success has its price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Campbell is looking good as he is being put in spots to have success. The cost of Hawks game are only going to go up as well as that joint is packed and relatively small. Do you think they pipe in noise for the anthemn? I was in section 117 last night and it seemed like nobody was making noise. I gotta tell ya the 300 level is much better than the lower level when it comes to fans but they are paying the bills.

They certainly don't pipe in noise though, your section probably just stunk in terms of fun folks. Nice seats, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Dec 14, 2009 -> 07:17 PM) I'm not saying there's no skill involved, I just have Toews better because of the skill/luck ratio. You'd be surprised how many hockey players could catch and hit a puck out of mid air, and conversely how often he couldn't repeat the "shot" portion again. What luck was there on the Toews goal exactly? He torched every last one of them. Easy. If one of the defenders, or the goalie moves into him, instead of standing still, the play is over. Yes he had a ton of skill to put those moves on, but Toews needed a bit of luck to ensure the chance at the goal, the same with Hossa.

The 300 level is great for the anthem. 200 and 100, not so much. Just look around, easy to tell the difference. A lot of people look surprised as the anthem starts and people start clapping around them. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 17, 2009 -> 11:24 AM) Easy.

So what you are saying is Toews scored due to the "electric football" characteristics of a hockey game. Defenders generally don't stand still/play random defense. They tried to stop the puck carrier best they could, but they couldn't. Edited December 18, 2009 by IlliniKrush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Unlike at Bulls games where I feel the 300 level is riddled with idiots who I dont want to be around, the 300 level at a Hawks game is WHERE you want to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they get no sympathy here, and shouldn't, but everything that can go wrong for the Wings has so far this year. I realize they've had it too good for too long, but as a Wings fan this year has bummed me out. I'd like all three of my favorite NHL teams to be strong. The Hawks have been wonderful, the Bruins have had their moments but are kind of middle-of-the-pack, and the Wings have suffered but still have basically the same record as Boston.

southsider2k5 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Big week of hockey here for the Hawks. A lot of tough games for the boys, including a home and home with Detroit and Nashville. Time to open this division up? Man I hope so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimpy2121 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Zetterberg out at least 2 weeks with a slight separated shoulder. That's huge for the Hawks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsideirish71 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 That goal by boston was setup because the official hung the puck up by not getting out of the way. That puck would of been cleared. It hangs up, an they get it in on net. Damn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBAHO Posted December 19, 2009 Author Share Posted December 19, 2009 14-3-1 now since Toews has been back in the lineup. Not Niemi's best performance at all, but the Hawks deserved to win, and it's nice to see some offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 The game tonight was great. It was back and forth, and the Hawks really dominated most of it... Niemi needs to work on the rebounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
