Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Hawks radio guys are pretty much the same, although the color guy (Troy Murray) will get indignant from time to time if there is an obvious bad call against the Hawks.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

In ottawa we need announcers at the actual game broadcasted over arena speakers, otherwise there is no noise at the games!

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

You guys need a goalie, Elliott ain't cutting it. And get Spezza some goals, he is on one of my fantasy teams! :r

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

The "code", a little respect. :)

Ott slips, and Dowell waits for him to get up. Respect.

At the end, Ott gives Dowell a big pat on the helmet. Respect.

Good to see some class in a fight.:tu

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Not enough of that, in the old days after every solid fight there would be a props or something, class has left hockey and it sucks, so its nice to see this every now and then.

Elliott I cannot stand, ever, I am no a sens fan but know two things 1) Murray has to go, 2) Clousten needs to stay.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

I don't think it's safe to say the class has left hockey as 95% of the guys playing are classy, it's the 5% that paint a bad picture for everyone.

Not NHL but all three of the IceHogs 19 year olds have been summoned to their countries World Junior Selection camp. Brandon Pirri will be headed up to Toronto this weekend to join Team Canada and Nick Leddy and Jeremy Morin (Unless the Hawks keep him) will report to the US camp next week.

I had about a 15 minute conversation with Pirri the other day about representing Canada and how cool it is. I wrote about it over at my BLOG. I also talked to Morin about scoring his first NHL goal at the UC.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Fantastic! Always makes hockey that more fun to watch when you got a connection. A friend of mines daughters play for Syracuse and one is in good standing with the ladies national canadian team.

And fair enough, but you do see a lot more people scrapping and showing off after the scrap rather than a direct skate to the box. Showing up someone else is becoming more and more common.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

I would hate to deny Morin the chance to play again in the World Juniors, but if both Hossa and Kane remain on the injured list, I don't know if the Hawks can afford to let him go. :2

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

It's pretty cool when you work with the guys and get to know them, especially when their are big events in their careers.

Rob Klinkhammer was all smiles in the locker room when he heard the news that he got the call up the Hawks.

Forsure it's tough for Moe too, he'd love to play for his country but also wants to play in the NHL. With Hossa and Kane out it's a great opportunity for him to show what he has.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

So far I really like what I see of Morin with the big club, Matt, think he is going to be a star.

Klink (Eddie O is calling him "The Colonel", LOL) apparently was picking up his parents at the airport the day he was called up.....nice suprise for them too, getting to see his first NHL game. He didn't look out of place, maybe a bit tenative, but I was happy for them both...his first game, JM's first goal.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

I agree on the Morin assessment, can put the puck in the net but isn't afraid to get dirty.

Klink has likely been one of the most consistent players with the IceHogs (When he has been healthy) so far this season. He's a hard worker that gives it 110% every night. Great to see an undrafted guy get a shot in the bigs.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Love those stories, the undrafted work your ass off player

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Check this out. :r

Roller guy but Itan Chivara has some of the sickest moves you will ever see. He has played some ice.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXLOR...eature=related
212 of this video he pulls a hansey and it starts a fight. If you watch his vids those he has some sick skills. A lot of roller dudes can dangl like crazy.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Good luck tonight, Mike.




Well, not really....but I do like you. :r

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

My Saturday night will be spent at work.
My day is already complete micah kept his goal streak alive for the 4th game converting a penalty shot. Kid tripped him from behind on a break away.


Oooh and good luck to you sir. I am hoping to watch some of it on my phone

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Sorry you don't get to watch it, but a big congrats to Micah! :tu

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

The West is winning almost all the East-West matchups today...not helping my Hawks pick up ground in the playoff hunt. :mad:

Hopefully they can get 2 points in SJ tonight (sorry Mike). :)

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

It's been a good game so far. Big saves on both ends.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

We needs a goal.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Yeah we do. Should be 2-1, but what can ya do;)

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Yeah, it will suck if we lose by one or go to O.T.


How about John Scott with the GWG? :r

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

I would love that! Big John can play. I'll go with Stalberg:D

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Big John won't get much ice time in the 3rd....I will go with Sharpie for real. :wo

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Let's hope Crawford can keep us in it.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

And boom goes the dynomite!
Good game to the Hawks.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Sharks win....

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Hard fought game on both ends.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Big game for Clowe....and nice games by both Niemi and Corey. Congrats, Mike. :ih

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

That was an awesome game. Even on the radio it came through as just an awesome display of hockey. Sharks definitely had the puck luck tonight. That clowe line is playing well and carrying the team. Stars in town on Monday. Going to be a tough five games.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Quick whistle by the ref (I am sure you will see the replay) in the 2nd or it never would have gone to OT. :hn

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Anyone seen this yet? Pretty funny stuff.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Thats awesome. Too funny

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Saw the game, crazy!

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

The Devils have been a real joy to watch :td

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Reminds me of this.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Brutal defense in the first in Colorado leaving Craig and Turco to the wolves. 3-3. Ugh.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Not a very good first period. Got to step up on D.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Hawks were up 5-4 with 3 minutes left when I got on the ice for my game. WTF??? :mad:

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Couldnt have asked for a more entertaining game for my two fav teams lol. Turco just lost number 1 for sure.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Crawford had started 8 of the last 10, Mike, so I think that was already a done deal, at least for the short term. :)

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Yea, but now confirmed, thank god I picked him up off of FA a month ago and road him home!

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Wings got rocked last night 5-0. Quick played amazing. Howard had a bad game and the D let too many second chances.

Looks like Nabakov is coming back from KHL if he can land a job somewhere.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

He most certainly will, there are a few teams out there that need some help.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

I agree.. I believe Washington and Tampa Bay were 2 places that were mentioned in the article. Although he wasn't that spectacular in KHL 3.02 GAA and .888 save percentage. Regardless he should at minimum be brought in as a backup somewhere.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Tampa Bay should snap him up tomorrow, their goalies both suck.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Ain't that the truth. I heard some rumblings that the Bolts might be interested in Corey Schneider.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Didn't see the game, was at the High School game....but looks like it would have been fun. Avs win their 4th straight...

(Spartans won as well:tu)
