RockRaines Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 2, 2012 -> 03:25 PM) This. Hell, the 2010 Stanley Cup almost didn't happen if it weren't for a miracle goal in Game 4. They were moments from being down 3-1. Then, the Hossa OT goal and lots of masturbating and the rest is, as they say, history. And they are definitely more dangerous now, and we are less.

I knew it was in Chicago, and I questioned typing Game 4, but went for it anyway. Edited April 2, 2012 by Steve9347 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Parkman Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Just an FYI, the Hawks can now finish no worse than 6th in the conference, due to the point picked up last night. Phoenix and LA have 91 points with 3 games remaining, thus having only 6 points that they can pick up. Now the goal is avoiding Nashville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LA shut out the Oilers last night, so they are the Hawks most likely opponent at the moment. They have major issues scoring but don't give up many goals, Quick already shut the Hawks out twice this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 If the Hawks beat DET in regulation Saturday, they are the #5 seed vs. Nashville. If they lose or it goes to OT, then they are the #6 seed vs. SJ/LA/PHX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanOfCorn Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 The excerpt below if from Doug Smith...the former hockey player that the movie "Goon" is based on. It's an excellent article on ESPN/Grantland...here's an excerpt: Some fans believe that fighting detracts from hockey and that violence has no place in the sport. Why shouldn't it be outlawed altogether? I understand where these people are coming from. Even as a guy who loves fighting, I remember back in the '70s when you'd watch game after game with endless, bench-clearing brawls. After a while, it's like, "Cut the s***. Let's just play some hockey." I don't mind a one-on-one fight here and there, but these bench-clearing brawls last for 20 minutes, and no one's really fighting, they're just dancing around. Then there's these fights where guys punch each other silly for five minutes. What does that prove? What does that solve? I get that line of thinking. But hockey is a violent sport. It's always been about intimidation. And hockey has always allowed the players to police themselves. I think there's a place in the game for fighting. For me, it always came down to my role as the protector of my team. Kind of like an insurance policy for my teammates. You'll have a star player who's getting hit, getting whacked, getting knocked on his ass, and in comes Doug to beat all these guys up and give him some room. Look at Sidney Crosby. He got body-checked and he's out of hockey. Sidney Crosby should not be out of the game because someone took a run at him. If there's a guy on Crosby's team who's there to kick your ass if you take liberties against him, you might have second thoughts before running him into the boards. There's a reason Steve Yzerman and Sergei Fedorov had such long, brilliant careers — because Bob Probert and Joey Kocur had their backs. You take a shot at Yzerman, you're going to get the s*** kicked out of you. Might not be the same night, but Probie's going to get you in the next game. You need that guy on the ice.

LittleHurt05 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 (edited) No Toews tomorrow, still no guarantee for the playoffs. It's very good to see that he is taking this concussion seriously and making sure he is absolutely 100% ready to play. Jesse Rogers@ESPNChiHawks Toews: "Kind of a frustrating thing to let another game go by. I just dont feel comfortable tomorrow is the right day." 19:“I’m still keeping that confidence and that positive outlook that things are going to go the right way.That I will be ready for next week Toews: "I was very close to playing yesterday or tomorrow but now we have another 4 days or so."

IlliniKrush Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I have zero to base this on, but I'm just guessing he's not 100%, but somehow, magically, come game 1, he'll be "all set" and "feeling perfect." Funny how that sort of timing took place... I don't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
