OK, Chicos, here we go.  I deem your Dicks now to have the target on them.

Freudian slip?

[LloydMooresLegs]

Hmmmm... I elect not to use the modify function!

OK, Chicos, here we go.  I deem your Dicks now to have the target on them.  Time for the Hawks to go Duck huntin.  With the way your boys are playing at home (and after the very enjoyable pasting of the Canucks!), the Hawks need a win tonight to have a shot at home ice in the playoffs.  Go Hawks!

Yeah, we've had your number for quite some time as well.  I'm not feeling too confident in this one.  I would take a split in a heartbeat between the Blues and Hawks in our next two.

Can't wait until next Saturday for the game at Dodger Stadium.  Going to be a lot of fun.

[LloydMooresLegs]

Whew. 

[ChicosBailBonds]

Nice win.  First game I've missed on TV in a long time.  My wife took me to the Eagles concert last night so couldn't see the game. 

[LloydMooresLegs]

Well, watching that game would have been wasted time for you-but  I'll give the Ducks credit- they went into desperado mode and almost gave me heartache (last)night. Getzlaf lives his hockey life in the fast lane, but Hossa was better all night long.  Saturday night will also be tough against the Blues.  In the long run, I don't know if the win will matter for the hawks- I can't tell you why, but I think the ducks will get home ice, and the Hawks will wind up with 4 nights in a hotel (in) California this May. Life's been good for the ducks this year- enjoy. Take it easy, Chicos

[ChicosBailBonds]

Well done Legs, well done.   Fabulous concert...probably the best concert I've seen in a few decades.

Playoffs are going to be a nightmare, so many good teams in the west, but would love to see the Ducks and Hawks playing for a trip to Lord Stanley.  Right now I'm just hoping to avoid the Kings or Blues early in the playoffs.

Personally I wouldnt mind playing the Kings. Hawks have their number.

Got the split...beat the Blues....all I wanted was a split in these two games.  Mission Accomplished

See the opening of Calgary v Vancouver?  Holy Schnikey.

I hate Kronwall. I actually dont mind most of the Wings players but Kronwall is probably in my bottom 5 for hockey players with the likes of Raffi Torres and Mike Smith.

The best part is Byfuglien then laying out Kronwall! Though this will be a fun game (and the return game), I haven't really missed games against the Red Wings. Sure I made a big deal when I heard they were going to the East, but really it hasn't made much of a difference.

If I'm not mistaken, didn't the NHL modify the playoff format this year (with the division changes)?  I don't think the Hawks and Kings could play before the WC Finals.  And same for Ducks v. Blues.  I thought I heard you play within your division only until the Finals.  With one exception, there could be a cross divisional if the 5th place in one division is better than the 4th in the other (since you would have 5 teams from 1 division and 3 from the other, there would have to be one series crossing over).

thank you

[LloydMooresLegs]

Can I just say that I am glad that tied playoff games do not end in shoot outs? 

And I am a fan of the regular season shoot out.  Except this year.  For the Hawks.

[swoopem]

The Wings are terrible is shootouts this year. At one point I think they lost something like 9 in a row.

Very entertaining game last night. All the goals (minus Hossa's) were pretty sick

[ChicosBailBonds]

Those of you in NYC or Chicago, if you have a chance to do the Stadium Series, pretty darn cool.  Really enjoyed ourselves last night.   Of course, the Ducks pummeling the Kings in a stadium with about 70% Kings fans made my night.

And maybe the 65 degrees helped!

Heard the ice in California was better than Yankee Stadium.   Players really pissed about NY ice yesterday.
