Blackhawks' Losing Streak: Nine Games and Counting

[cusimano_brothers 1,655]

The League website was either A) hacked into or B) it's tired; they show the current losing streak as six games.

By the way, their record for longest losing streak is 12 games.

Laissez les bons temps rouler!

Maybe they are not counting the SO loses?? Not sure. Thats the only 3 loses I can see that would fit. hahaha

No doubt... either we stay 15 points up on Chicago or we stay a point up on the Rags but gain a game in hand

Looks like the Hawks might have this one, but lots of time left.

My god, think of the reaction if they manage to LOSE this game though.

[HockeytownRules19 902]

lol make that 4-0... Martin Biron makes Conks look like Lundqvist lol

[Rubbel_die_Katz 24]

WTF 4-0 after 10 min

[wings_fanatic 677]

The Hawks are just lucky King Henrik took the night off tonight or this game would still be tied. Those early goals King Henrik would have had but because they all went in it killed the Rangers for the night. Kudos to the Hawks for taking advantage though, we all know what it feels like to win the first game after a long losing streak.

I agree Henrik would have stopped some of those, but they wouldn't have necessarily shot 5-hole if Henrik was in net.

3 of 4 of those goals were breakaways right? A lot of that is on D. Hawks playing well, Rangers playing awful.

I really want to watch the Hawks/Rangers game but for the love of pete I just can't stand listening to Edzo any more. He is sooooo bad

[edicius 3,269]

I'm surprised too, I thought Biron had been playing decently as Henrik's backup this season. But these games happen. And this is one of those fun cases where a Hawks win is good for us.

So I guess it's a non-issue because Stan Bowman already said they will be buyers, but does anyone else think they should be sellers? I think they are more than 1 or 2 bandaids away from being a cup favorite. If they ship Hossa and/or Sharp, they could get an amazing return of picks and high-end prospects. I feel like they are going down Washington's path.

Looks like that streak is over tonight. Currently leading the Rangers 4-1 with a few ticks gone in the 3rd.

These threads need to be met with swift shutdowns.

These threads need to be met with swift shutdowns.

Your belief in "karma" and its effect on such things needs to be met with a swift shutdown. It's just a silly attempt to make it seem as if some unknown force is controlling events. It's comforting to believe in, I'm sure, but it's ultimately nonsensical. How many threads do you think were made on opposing teams` forums about this skid when it hit six games? Seven? Eight? Come on.

As for the win, it's great for the Wings, because it eliminates one of the Rangers` games in hand.

[St. Michael (the Red Wing) 422]

I agree with Chicago winning as it does take away a game on hand the Rags have over us. Unfortunately it was only a matter of time before Chicago won again. Sadly.

[Red Wings Addict 787]

Oh way to go. Way to go. It's the Pittsburgh thread all over again.

[Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029]

Oh way to go. Way to go. It's the Pittsburgh thread all over again.

The only reason Chicago won was because John Scott was in the lineup.

[dat's sick 1,002]

9 game losing streak has already made it difficult for Chicago to have anything to do with the Central title.

And if they're gonna win against anyone, I don't mind it being the Rangers.

Awww you mad bro?

So far, I'm 2/2 and you're still just the guy who started a bad karma thread. And, I care more about a team in the Wings division/conference than I do about a team in the East.

i wouldn't worry about the rangers. the wings will have a hard enough time staying ahead of vancouver. they'll end up 2nd in the west at best.

Talk about baseless pessimism.

SFT, you've become Mindy 2.0 here at LGW.

Oh well. I had such high hopes for the Wings in the playoffs. But it's all over now. Thanks Wings. I now must turn out the bathroom light and play flashlight wars in the dark while listening to Miley Cyrus music. Maybe I shall play THE CLIMB. The Wings have such a high hill to climb if they can ever hope to be able to compete with the 77 Habs er I mean the 2012 Canucks. Lets pack er in boys! The Sisters are coming! The Sisters are coming!

i don't think it's baseless. if i count correctly, vancouver has 8 games remaining against teams in playoff position. detroit has 16.

it will be a much easier road for vancouver to come out on top, but a regulation win on the 23rd would obviously help the wings' chances.
