Nice start last night. PK can use some work, but nice to start the season with a win. Usually the team raising the banner gets their ass kicked no matter what sport it is.

i remember the bulls beating the heat by 40+ in 06 and last year, the hawks destroyed the champ kings in game 1 of the year

Man, Khabibulin looks awful out there. I know he's only the backup, but he has to be better than that. Nice to see the offense come alive the past couple nights...

Went to the game last night.
Funny, as we are walking through the stadium, I turn to the right, and there is my sister and brother-in-law. Two people I had not seen in 3 months.

Game was great.
I still say hockey is the most fun, of the pro sports, to see live.

I completely agree. Best sport to see live. Even if you don't have great seats and you're sitting up high, you can see plays develop.

We were 2nd row in the 300's.
Actually those were kick ass seats.

Welcome back Versteeg! Didn't see that move coming at all but I like it.

Well, at least we have 1 winning team in Chicago. The amount of talent on this team is ridiculous. Hawks are must-watch TV.

Sharpe is having on hell of a year.

Yeah, Sharp has been great this year. He has been on fire the past couple weeks. Won't be surprised if he gets a spot on Team Canada for Sochi.

Hopefully having 10 guys in the olympics won't be a killer down the stretch here.

I ended up getting tickets to the game vs the Pens at Solider Field on Saturday. It's supposed to be fucking freezing...wasn't expecting that for March 1st.

I've been to 2 games this year- vs the Jets and vs te Bruins..going to Hawks/Jackets on my 30th on 3/6/14 and so happy. I love watching great teams, esp those that I root for.

Doesn't get much better than a Hawks game at the UC. Best sport to see live.

Tough loss in Philly last night. Huge game tonight against the Blues. Would be nice to beat STL once before the inevitable playoff matchup.

Indifference71

It starts tonight. St. Louis is hurting and limped into the playoffs....Hawks in 6.

Not sure how I feel about Q's proposed lines tonight.
We'll see i guess...

Umm yeah, very interesting lines. Kane on a 3rd line it looked like?? Not too worried though...Q is always changing up the lines as the game goes on.

Indifference71

Well that sucked. Killer to give up the tying goal with 2 mins left in the 3rd.....they played a shitty 3rd period and ended up paying for it. Gotta even it up tomorrow.

JK_Livin

How come they never showed a good replay of Kane's break away? Looked offsides to me.

mca47

He was in front of and close to being even with the D as It left Toews' stick. You can be behind them when you get the puck, just not when it's passed to you.
