Making the trip to Columbus this weekend to see them, from the 3rd row!!! Good chance i'll be meeting a few of them so I promise to give them a reminder that the All-Star break is over Just plain brutal lately!

I have to go to a seminar in Columbus next month. Just so happens the Hawks are visiting the Jackets the night before. I got 5th row behind goal in the zone we'll attack twice. Can't wait!

Nice weekend for the Hawks. Columbus is so bad. Huge to get a win against the Blues...I like the rivalry there getting heated up again.

Brutal loss last night. Giving up 3 goals in the last 9 mins of the game. All on deflections and redirects. A couple of big games coming up on the west coast this weekend.

I know....it has been a completely different team these past 10 games. Possible home ice advantage for the first round which seemed almost impossible 2-3 weeks ago.

All this without Toews....NICE

Getting HOT at the right time....
Usually means a DEEP playoff run.....

Yeah, the fact that this has all been without Toews is pretty amazing. Hopefully he can get back for the playoffs.

Hoping for deep playoff runs for the Hawks and Bulls....that way we won't have to watch the awful Chicago baseball that awaits us this season.

Can the Bulls Beat Miami, in a 7 game series.....

We will find out soon...

81

yes

How can the Hawks power play be this bad???? This is painful to watch.

Looks like Toews is still not going to play. Probably a good idea after the hockey game broke out at the last fight against Minnesota.

Between the 'Hawks, Cubs, and Gophers all taking a big, heaping shit today... I might just quit watching sports altogether.

Shitty loss last night giving up the tying goal with 3 mins left. Home ice in the first round isn't happening anymore. If they beat the Wings in regulation tomorrow, they will lock up the 5th seed and play Nashville. If they lose, they get 6th seed and play whoever wins the pacific division (LA, SJ, or Phoenix). The Hawks haven't played well against any of those 4 teams this year so it doesn't really matter who they get. I'm just pumped to watch some playoff hockey.

At least there's no stupid "backing into the playoffs" talk this year. That aggravated me last season. We didn't back in. We played 82 games just the same as Dallas did and ended up with more points. Just because Dallas lost on the last day and needed to win to get in has nothing to do with Chicago ending up with more points over an entire season of play.

I hope the Sharks get the Pacific. They always choke in the playoffs. I don't want the 5 seed. Nashville can wait another round.

Yeah, I think SJ would be the best matchup for the Hawks out of those 4 teams, but even that isn't a great matchup. Hawks have played well against Nashville last couple of times they played so that might not be the worst either. I'm just ready for the playoffs to start already!

That shootout goal by Kane was sick. Gotta wait to see what happens with Phoenix and SJ/LA tonight.

HesCalledDyer

How about 4-0-2 against the Wings this year!
