2009-2010 Blackhawks Lord Stanley Bonertime Thread

how huge was picking Ebbett up off waivers, considering Toews got absolutely laid out last night by Mitchell?

I'd be surprised if he doesn't miss some time. Ugh. What an ugly 3rd period. Fun game to be at, though. The 300 level looks amazing.

At some point last year Quenneville made the point to say that when a team gets a 5 on 3 it will change the game. If you score on it, you're going to win. If you don't score and they kill it, you're going to lose. The Hawks were up 2-1 when they failed to convert on their 2 man advantage and went on to lose. Since he said that I can't ever forget it and it seems to hold true almost every time.

Goddamn Canucks.

Fuck QStache's fucking idiotic notion of having Patrick Fucking Sharp on the fucking point during the fucking power play.

Theus.

Seuriously.

Why would a team call a time out before their own 5 on 3 power play?  Why give the opponents' penalty killers a chance to rest?  

Because you get to rest 5 guys, they get to rest 3.  Also, since most teams have 2 PK units, they're going to send out the unit that wasn't on the ice and is relatively fresh anyways.

Since the offense has such a dominant position on a 5 on 3, especially an extended 5 on 3, the blow you give the D doesn't matter, but the strategy and blow your guys get can be the difference between a goal and a missed chance.

Tomorrow, when you're watching the Bears and they get to fucking up, would you mind posting about hockey instead of football? I'm trying to help you. Honest.

He's not doing much better in here.

Without three of their best players - they've won two in a row. Very nice.

Huet is settling in nicely. And Kane made his case for goal of the month.

I'm just surprised that the Hawks were able to survive last nights return of Markin DeHavlat.

I've seen that replay at least a dozen times.  I still have no idea how that puck went in.  That shit was sick.

Hossa still sucks.  Stan Bowmann is terrible.  Yawney for GM.

Call them and bitch about it.  I had two different friends do that, and they gave them the hockey package (Center Ice, or whatever it's called) for free.
