titanium2 867 Report post Posted October 8, 2010 Anyone remember last year when the hawks lost their first game of the season to the Florida Panthers?? Season over!!! (sarcasm) How about that Brian Campbell? Hehe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave82RWS 41 Report post Posted October 8, 2010 How about that Brian Campbell? Hehe. Hawks might have lost to Nashville last playoffs if Campbell didnt come back.. Speaking of which, both he and Boynton(suspension?) werent out there obviously. Hendry, Scott and a 19 year old Nick Leddy were on D. That is bad enough right there. I don't remember that because I don't keep close tabs on Hawks (unless it's on NBC or Versus), but my guess would be Huet was in net? Much like Turco was in net tonight... Do you remember last year when Hawks were a stacked team before they had to firesale off half of their players that helped them win the cup? I do. Almost like the year before when Hossa, Hudler, Samuelsson and a few others went bye bye. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doc Holliday 1,888 Report post Posted October 8, 2010 I do. Almost like the year before when Hossa, Hudler, Samuelsson and a few others went bye bye. 19 years of making the postseason and keeping talent within the system while winning four cups says hello.

I didnt realize they were replacing Keith, Seabrook, Hjalmarsson and Campbell. I love all of the Turco criticism. Did any of you actually watch the whole game?

Guest Heaten Report post Posted October 8, 2010 What are you basing this on? The fired Dale Tallon? From ownership on down. Just not a very classy club overall. Tallon getting fired was probably the best move they made before the firesale... But a Chicago blog said Stan Bowman was responsible for not mailing the qualifying offers. So basically the loss of some players is exclusively on his shoulders. And Versteeg for Stalberg? Seriously? Lol. Like I said... just a poorly managed club from top to bottom.

Guest Crymson Report post Posted October 8, 2010 (edited) it is also funny how the ravenous homer olczyk reacts I think it's very silly and even somewhat obnoxious that they let him call games in which the Hawks or the Penguins are playing. The amount of bias that he has in favor of those teams is enormous. I wonder what would happen were they ever to play each other in the finals. I imagine his head would separate into two pieces. Yep, its not like goalies ever get beat or anything. The winning goal was terrible. Turco has always had a habit of raising his arms too high, and tonight it burned him for the nth time. Hawks might have lost to Nashville last playoffs if Campbell didnt come back.. Speaking of which, both he and Boynton(suspension?) werent out there obviously. Hendry, Scott and a 19 year old Nick Leddy were on D. That is bad enough right there. Fortunately for Chicago, the refs were around to help them out. Almost like the year before when Hossa, Hudler, Samuelsson and a few others went bye bye. Yeah, OK. I don't think you know much about the situation with Hudler. Samuelsson went for a whopping $2.5m. Hossa got paid out the arse by Chicago, and I'm sure they'll really enjoy still paying him in nine years. If you're comparing Tallon to Holland, be prepared to be laughed out the door.

Vladifan 680 Report post Posted October 8, 2010 Yeah what the hell does that even mean? How have the Hawks proven better than everyone else they're best poised to repeat in recent history? Or even to win the Cup this year? Last time I checked a bomb went off in their lockerroom and only half the team made it out alive. Thanks for the guffaws.
