Phoenix would've done us a huge favor and beat the B'hawks in regulation if Michaelek wouldv'e attempted to block a shot right in front of Hutton and deflect it into his own net.

Uggghh- I hate to say this, but I think Minnesota is going to make the playoffs

do you think they will displace calgary? or winnipeg? vancouver? and will they hold off LA?

I think the bottom 4 positions in the west are up for grabs and its gonna be a crazy finish...

Who would have thought Dubnyk would go to that team and be a Hart candidate once there.

It is really crazy....

Here is how I think it will play out:

Central:
Nashville
St Louis
Chicago

Pacific:
Anaheim
LA
San Jose

Wildcard:
1. Minnesota
2. One of: Winnipeg/Van/Calgary/Dallas

Chicago just had a goal called off in similar fashion to Forsberg's no goal against St. Louis I believe? Good to see consistency there at least.

AdmiralsFan24 · Feb 9, 2015

Well, it sucks that they tied it but Chicago only gets 1 point from Arizona.

drwpreds · Feb 9, 2015

Thank you Coyotes- now just do it again tomorrow in STL.

Hey, I will take that- I counted that as a sure 2 points for Chicago going in....

I really think it did cross the line, but there was no clear view of it and you can't assume.....

Oh, what irony that would be should we meet the Mild in the 1st round...

Arcobello waived again.

How bad do the Blackhawks have be before their Travelling ******* Tour ceases? 1st round exit in the playoffs? Wild card entry to the post season? Failing to make the playoffs? How far do they have to fall before they start shedding bandwagoners?

that's not the problem in Nash - it's our relative availability of tickets and low cost compared to home, coupled with Nash being a great destination to visit. personally, I think ANY of the other Chicago teams being a winner would be the most helpful.

All 3 of these things are the problem.

a couple years of missing the playoffs at a minimum probably... it certainly wasnt an issue in the early 00's when they were so hapless that we beat them regularly. I remember the Hawks fans with bags over their heads at a game but there werent but a few of them

We need another generation before our fanbase "figures it out"

At this point in the year, isn't it based on the current standings?

So St. Louis and Nashville are identical twin cities? Hawks jerseys take over the Blues building too.

StL and Chic as sports cities have a rivalry that goes back 80+ years; Hawks and Boos go back what, 40+?

and yes, both StL and Nash have relative avail of tix and much lower cost of tix than in Chic. Proximity in StL case - you can take an afternoon off and get down for a game without any problem, whereas we make a nice place to visit for a long weekend.

I still think if you want to slow down the hawks fans visits it's give them something else - the cubs, the sox, the bulls - something else to spend their sports dollar on and they'll reduce the travelling clown show. of course, when our fans figure out they have to buy tix more than a week ahead it will help, too, but we're a ways from that.

No, he was claimed when Preds property. Preds have the right to claim him back

He was waived to send to Milwaukee, therefore I don't see him being claimed because he would have to stay up on the big club, which they obviously didn't want to keep him there.

Five or six years of missing the playoffs will do it. However, with the core group they have, I doubt that will happen.

...Unless Rocky Wirtz likes his door more.
