Presidents trophy = too much pressure, ideally I'd rather finish first in the west, 2nd overall.
- Ogilthorpe2

Last time we won the division and 2nd in the West everything seemed to work out well.

I'd outlaw the full body armor that makes so many of these guys feel invincible. Get rid if the hard plastic shoulder pads etc...I think it would make a big difference if the guy delivering the hit felt it as much as the guy getting hit.

yeah its all light and rigid and sweat doesnt effect its weight like it did when I played of course my brother and i had to share some of the same equip

bad memories

ps no wonder shot blockers are fearless today

Third period will be all about conditioning

Go Hawks go

Sloppy start to the 3rd...sitting on the lead...turning over pucks left and right.

BS
your hitting a guy from the blind side and you are moving up as you make contact.
legal hit would be low driving up under the shoulder
- molly2522

a half second before the hit it wasnt a blind side angle...you just cant look at the result and think that is the end of the story

Ive been on both sides of plays like that many times.

if you have played in a contact league you would know what i was talking about

PS all hits are upward momentum, you hit starting with your legs,,,its all upward momentum so please dont try to confuse the facts

Not including current game, magic numbers for hawks are:
Playoff berth: 72
Division: 75
Conference: 78
Presidents trophy: 78

You need to get out more.

I've played at a pretty high level and your statement is an empty one
The guy does not see you coming its a blind shot and if you want to finish the check keep it below the shoulder

Oh Niemi...

We've seen calls the last 2 games you NEVER see.

Thanks Nemo

How you feeling about Bickell tonight? Pretty solid, if he played like this every night he'd probably be your favorite Hawk.

Sharp continues to look anything but.

Is he even playing tonight?

Bicks is my favorite hawk (off the ice) - Great guy.
