An equivalent to the games he should have been scratched this season, i.e., a lot.

lirl. Pretty funny.

Bollig will continue to remain invisible and let rivals run on the Hawks stars. Hes a skill player now.

 

[Sarava]

Great... here come those awful memories from 2012 again! That beatdown is the franchise defining moment of the last 10 years

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Apparently they might set an attendance record in Phoenix with SRO's.

 

[RedBaronIndian]

What banner do Hawks get to raise IF they win tonight?

 

[Salvaged Ship]

Set up to be a very tough game. In their building, goalie who almost always plays well against us, second of back to back after a long game last night, last game of a long road trip. If Crow plays he might be fatigued, If Raanta plays it is a tough game for him to win. A win tonight would be a great effort.

 

[TheGoldenJet]

Who starts?

 

[Marina]

The Coyotes are so ugh.

 

[ChiGuySez]

Blackhawks pack the house again. Looks like Jobing is sold out including SRO.

Yep, and the team has done a bit of a smoke and mirrors act to win the last 2 games (as well as a few games previous to that). The second and third lines are basically shooting blanks, but for Kane. If that continues tonight, it's bound to catch up to them. Of course there is a chance of Q realizing this and that his mish mashing of those lines is a large factor in that (hence moving Handzus to the bottom 6) ...... Nah.

On the positive side: Hawks have completely turned around their 3rd period performances and have killed the ops lately in that frame.

As for the Bollig dissing going on. He's not my favourite either but the Bollig I saw last night had a strong game that I witnessed .... and has Ben Smith finally returned to form? Seems so, and it changes completely, the 4th line when he plays like he is capable.

 

[MurrayBannerman]

I'm doing this GDT.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Handzus played well in the third last night. That buys him at least another week in the top six.

 

[BobbyJet]

Who starts?

It's got to be Raanta .... doesn't it?

We're pushing our luck, playing Crawford this much.

 

[MurrayBannerman]

I did it now because I'd forget, haha.

 

[Nothingman*]

Doan is such a ******. He has a very punchable face.

 

[Nothingman*]

No word on who will be in goal tonight?

 

[No Fun Shogun]

The only way to overcome the shame of a first round playoff defeat from a few years is with fire, and lots of it.

Also, GDT's up.
