[No Fun Shogun]

It would take a completely insane person to complain about such a successful road trip.

Now for the complaints about this road trip to commence....

Fantastic road trip. Blackhawks are really starting to hit their stride.

 

[MurrayBannerman]

Great win!

Also very happy that my first GDT was such a success.

 

[FakeKidPoker*]

Hossa with the stat padding goal at the end for all the fans at Jobbing.com Arena.

 

[Gootie]

Good win

Now for some home cooking

I am impressed. The Hawks were dominated in that second period and it looked like their tank was on empty and they come out and absolutely dominate the 3rd period. The Kruger/Smith combo is now looking at good as Kruger/Frolik and we appear to have a solid back up goalie in Raanta, he was very solid.

Great way to finish off an incredible trip, I don't think anyone would have predicted 6 straight wins after that first game in Colorado. Now lets get some rest and keep it going back home!

Shaw with the stat padding PK at the end, also for all the fans at the Jobbing.com Arena.

I see Pirri only played 7.07, I have some cheese to serve with the whine thats coming soon.......

 

[Marotte Marauder]

I like Raanta being able to play well and give Crow some days off.

 

[bulletwwings]

Anyone notice Handzus playing the PK in the 3rd? Cuz i personally was having a heart attack.

Nope

Fro/Kruger was magic on ice last year

Smith has not come close to replacing Frolik PK and Kruger has not been as good this year without Fro

 

[IndianHeadSweater]

No reason to doubt we're in line to repeat. This team has proved resilient.

Ok, they are getting there. Hows that?

Magic on ice that combined for 7 goals in 48 games

 

[Hawkaholic]

2nd best start in franchise history

 

[Salvaged Ship]

Magic on ice that combined for 7 goals in 48 games

Didn't you see Magic on Ice? Its the Disney production with Mickey, Minny, and Pluto

 

[bulletwwings]

Btw is that the best circus trip we have seen in awhile? (meaning as in toews and kane era)

 

[Kurtosis]

Magic on ice that combined for 7 goals in 48 games

You know that will not sway his opinion, right?

 

[Pepe Silvia]

20-4-4 still isn't good enough. I expect them to win every game

 

[Kurtosis]

20-4-4 still isn't good enough. I expect them to win every game

You jest, but you're kind of right in the sense that I expect this team to win every time they step onto the ice. They are that good.

He is obviously doing it for faceoffs (which he sucked at tonight) but yeah, he moves around so slow its a head scratcher

 

[Salvaged Ship]

56-11-9 the last 2 seasons combined and a cup. Has ant team ever had a stretch with a record like that? I have no idea, but if there has it hasn't been many

 

[Hawkaholic]

I thought Handzus played well tonight, just like most every other forward.
