LittleHurt05 Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Feb 11, 2016 -> 09:16 AM) Makes a ton of sense. Putting the Draft in Chicago will make the state of the NHL in the United States look much healthier than it actually is. It still cracks me up to travel, especially in the South and try to bring up hockey, and people have no idea what the f*** you are talking about. Being in Chicago for this Hawks era definitely makes you think the country has a different perspective than it actually does in reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austin is a little strange, but the real Stars fans here are more dedicated than I would have expected, and the Texas Stars fans (AHL in Austin area) are crazy about hockey. Dallas will support a winner. Lots of scratches tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After these three games, I have no idea how to read these two teams. Hawks have them in a series of 7 for sure. Stars wouldn't score 4 every game.

Panerista Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Of note, Patrick Eaves has a hat trick in the first period. I'm forced to watch the Dallas feed and they barely mentioned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) Desjardins has no business being on the third line. I guess the fans who played good money for this one at least saw the Sharp and Oduya tributes. Well deserved though, especially for Sharpie.

I'm sure the guys here who watched Sharpy since the dark ages appreciates his worth as a Hawk. Still miss him... hopefully he'll find his way back here at some point.

LittleHurt05 Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 QUOTE (Tony @ Feb 13, 2016 -> 08:42 PM) They look AWFUL. And we know they aren't this bad. It's clear they are on cruise control for a little bit here, we'll see how long this lasts. Happens every year after a longer road trip. They get home and set in cruise control. It happens, they have earned it, but when I pick tickets, I try to remember to avoid these periods of the year Could be worse, they could be the Wild, 8 in a row and their coach is gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 QUOTE (Tony @ Feb 13, 2016 -> 09:49 PM) I totally agree. I remember having these discussions 5 years ago, 3 years ago, last year, ect. We always have them during the regular season. "These guys are scaring me, they just don't look right..." Then comes playoff time, and they are able to flip the switch. They have been doing it long enough where I just don't get concerned any more. They have earned the benefit of the doubt. And when in doubt, you can just go nuclear and put 19 and 88 together. It's always a game changer in the playoffs and they dominated the 3rd on Thursday night. It's a nice problem to have.

The Caps don't do it either, that's why Ovi can't even make the conference finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
