They drop you off literally at the front door of the UC. RIght, route 20, you can see when they are coming on your smart phone. Dont park in my f***ing neighborhood though jerk offs!!!!!

LittleHurt05 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Depending on how cold it is, you can also walk from those Madison bars, they are under a mile away. I walked to the UC from 3rd rail on Thursday, it was nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason I was against the signing this summer was I didn't think that's possible, but after watching him a few games, I have reasonable hope the Hawks have drilled that into his head enough that he'll be able to. I don't think I can emphasize how well the Hawks played tonight. Phoenix isn't some group of bums, and outside of a defensive brainfart in front of the net and a Duncan Keith blowout, the Coyotes showed no signs all night. The power play has not looked as in tune as I'd like to see, but even there I have hope as Brunette really seems willing to accept the role as traffic guy in front. Very pleased with the first five games for the Hawks. They came out a little slow at Dallas and had a bad 3rd period against Boston, but that's about it.

The Critic Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Yeah, I'm also very happy with the Hawks' play thus far. Haven't seen too many Seabrook cough-ups other than one early game. Bolland is the Secret Weapon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 18, 2011 -> 11:13 PM) This isnt the same Carcillo I saw in Philly I think he is going to win over alot of Hawks fan hearts (especially Steve and JoeCool since they hate him the most here) when this year is all said and done.

EvilJester99 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Carcillo, while he is kind of a meat head... he serves a big purpose. He will make it tougher on teams to take free shots at Toews and Kane... unlike previous seasons to where teams could beat the crap out of them and never pay a price for it...

It is really nice to see no one taking liberties with Kane and Hossa right now. I have really enjoyed watching Kane get to skate more this year because guys are afraid to make a run at him.

I have no complaints with how this team is playing or with anyone on the roster (though I'm shocked to see Kruger getting ice time). The team can hurt you offensively from 3 different lines, and I think the offense is stronger than two seasons ago. Hossa is healthy, Kaner is stronger, and Bolland is hopefully healthy. I about s*** myself when Bolland went into the goalpost last night, but he bounced back up. Hopefully his back issues are behind him for good. At one point the Hawks were outshooting the 'yotes 25-8 last night and only up 3-2, so it was nice to see them pull away. More, please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And hopefully with the depth they can roll 3 to 4 lines most of the nights instead of having to shorten things up. Plus they still have more depth in their scratches and at Rockford. I am very optimistic about this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot can happen, though. I will certainly say that Carcillo has impressed me, as he certainly has more talent than I expected (come on, who didn't write him off as he was one of the biggest detriments to the Flyers in the Finals two seasons ago?). It is nice seeing players not so willing to take liberties with our top players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is nice seeing players not so willing to take liberties with our top players. I was wondering how a guy like Carcillo would fit with a coach like Q who demands discipline. So far, he hasn't done anything stupid, which is a plus. Most of those guys have some level of talent, or they wouldn't have made it to the NHL It is just a matter of getting through to them that they have to stay within the system. So far CarBomb has been more of a CarAlarm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Anyone else notice our old friend Brian Campbell has racked up 7 assists in 5 games so for with Florida? I remember rumors of him being an exceptionally talented offensive defenseman, but he seemed to not play to his talents with us due to injury and better players around him, I guess.

Ohh....I have noticed. Fantasy points. But to be fair, 4 of those 7 assists came in 1 game. So that's 3 assists in his other 4 games. Still good, but not as shocking.

I guess I was influenced by the pregame banter before game 2 in the stanley cup finals when all the media could talk about was Carcillo this Carcillo that, and really only were saying how he was a thug etc. If Q can keep him under control he actually plays a Buff-like role on the 2nd line.
