The Critic Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 QUOTE (SoxAce @ Dec 31, 2011 -> 06:17 AM) He has everything you'd like in a young player as far as skill (and he improved defensively) but his lack of finish is horrible. By far the weakest shot on the team. Speaking of weak shots, I'm hoping it was just "opening night jitters", but for a 6' 6", 220 pound guy, Jimmy Hayes got nothing on any of his shots against the Wings.

SoxFan1 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Great Winter Classic. Would love to see Hawks/Canucks in Soldier Field, but it looks like Wings/Bruins in Ann Arbor is gaining steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to see Hawks/Canucks in Soldier Field, but it looks like Wings/Bruins in Ann Arbor is gaining steam. Doubt they give the Hawks one without a few others getting to host. Plus, getting a Canadian team in there would be dicey as far as attracting the average viewer, I don't know that they'll jump to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFan1 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Jimmy Hayes doing what I wish the rest of the Hawks would do more often: put the puck on the damn net. Gets his 1st career NHL goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gets his 1st career NHL goal. As soon as I saw him chase that puck in the corner, I was thinking to myself "turn and throw it at the net!!". I didn't expect him to score, but I figured we needed to at least afford ourselves the chance at a tip in or scrap the puck in. But just an awful, awful PP effort tonight. It was embarrassing.

Probably gives Hayes more time up there though when Kruger comes back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 It's a good thing Edmonton isn't gonna make the playoffs, cause the Hawks can't beat them this year. Pretty awful effort tonight.

Pretty awful effort tonight. Carcillo's an idiot, not gonna miss him at all. Hawks suck against faster teams who play a run and gun style. (Edmonton, Colorado for example) And I have no idea what Crawford was doing on that Eager goal. Awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zenryan Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 amazing finish in the Russia-Canada Juniors semifinal. Russia was up 6-1 in the 3rd before Canada scored 4 goals from the 9 minute mark to the 4 minute mark. Russia then switched goalies and stopped another 7 shots in the final few minutes to hold on 6-5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
