Both teams played great. The Thorntton/Heatly/Marleau line is scary good even though they did not score, and Pavelski is a stud. Clowe didn't show up though, and the Sharks missed Boyle on the blue line.

Gonna make for an awesome Western Conference Finals series.

Ahbroody · 01-29-2010, 01:14 AM

Couldnt agree more. One of the two will play for the cup and no way I see either getting upset before the final. This will be a monster series though if it happens and the emerging team will likely be exhausted which may make them a mark for the cup. The Hawks bring speed and skill the Sharks bring size and skill.

I just wonder how different the teams will look next year. The Hawks are going to lose a player or two because of the cap next year and I think the Sharks may lose Patty. He is having a monster year and you have to wonder if losing the C will make him seek another team.

Clowe seemed way to intrested in the Buff tonight. Seemed like he wanted to fight him in the third and Buff was clearly affecting his game.

icehog3 · 01-29-2010, 01:26 AM

I think taking the "C' from him was the best thing that could have happened for Marleau...leading the NHL in goals. Good for him, I have always liked him.

Hawks will lose a couple guys, but have Kane, Toews, Keith, Hossa, Versteeg, Byfuglein and Seabrook tied up, and likely will make a good offer to Niemi, so I see good things for the future for them with that core.

all in fun brother. Press the button.

Seriously though if the playoffs started today the wings are golfing. That said I think they will get in and win a round, maybe if they are seated in the 5 or 6 spot. 7 or 8 I dont think they have it in a 7 game series against the Hawks or Sharks.

The Sens are rolling!
8 wins in a row.

Who will come back to bite their old team, Joe?

Looking forward to a great game!

I may be the only fan there... we had a snowstorm and Southerners freak out when we see some flakes.

Go 'Canes!

I know you will be cheering the loudest, Joe...wish I was going with you, despite our loyalties. Hope for a great game, I will be home watching with a cigar or 3, and an adult beverage or 4.

Watched the Isles/Flyers game and I felt they played much better toay than last weekend. More heartand more physical. we still need a real enfoer (not a goon) and someon who will stay in front f the net. I did see some good net crashing in the late second and third period.

Captain Crunch · 01-30-2010, 07:27 PM

Hockey is the greatest sport ever... I was raised in Minnesota & cheered for the Minnesota North Stars before they moved to Dallas. We finally got a hockey team back in the State of Hockey, the Minnesota Wild! Got a chance to see them play the Blues over X-mas break.

Icehog - When are your Blackhawks coming back to MN for a good brawl?

I had season tickets for years during that era.....worst I ever saw in person was the pre-game brawl, where Shane Churla almost killed Wayne VanDorp.

Don't forget your favorite... Dino "Pants" Oreilly. Did you ever about that story when Dino went outside to get his newspaper at the end of his driveway with no pants on? It was all over the news in Minnesota

Ahbroody · 01-30-2010, 08:29 PM

Someone needs to post a pic of cam ward. In a ski mask and black clothes. That dude was friggin filthy tonight. He flat out stole that game. Cam Ward is a filthy thief!!!!!

The Norris Division is gone, and the Wild ain't the North Stars.

Ciccarelli was a madman....wish he had been a Blackhawk.

Ward was awesome...Congrats to Joe, hope the snow didn't force you to miss the game. I was afraid the Hawks would be in for a letdown after the 8 game trip, but it was more Ward's acrobatics than a letdown by the Hawks.

Thanks, Tom! Just got in from the game... only about 7,000 in attendance - and a bunch of Blackhawk fans - and it was a fantastic contest.

I have to agree about the Hawks... I expected a letdown, but I really didn't see it. Cam Ward really was incredible. We are fortunate to have this guy! So glad we locked him up.

Hossa played pretty solid and Kane was just plain scary. Glad to get the two points tonight. Grateful to see the Blackhawks up close. (Got to sit in the lower level tonight. )

Need a lozenge... throat is sore from yelling "Way to go, Cam!"

The Rangers make it hard to be a fan.

God we suck

Captain Crunch · 01-30-2010, 09:47 PM

Yeah I agree... the Wild isn't the old North Stars

I feel for you, Al... you are a good fan to hang in there with your team.

By the way... love the quote from Al, Jr.
