Not yet TG but ive got the Hawks going 8-3 the rest of the way.....

Hogs tie it 1-1. Dandy Dan. For all the top brass there they have to be rooting for Griffs. Johns is a beast!

Q, Kitchen, and Bowman at the ice hogs game...... Watching Johns I suppose?

Gotta be.

Cant see any other reason why Q would be checking out a Rockford game the day before he needs to fly to California for game 1 of the WCF

TG had the Hawks going out in rounds 1 and 2 but maybe the third time will be the charm for him.

Give him a break. Some weren't able to post in the second round because the Hawks never trailed.

Boudreau was playing 3 lines most of the time in round 1 and 2. Even against the Flames Rakell, Jackman, and Etem were getting single digit mins. If he keeps that up playing the 7/2 and 4/27 shouldn't be that difficult. Run KimmoBlad out in spot duty.

Very exciting either way. Going to be a great series. I may be more levelheaded (as are you) than most on this board. I just want to see the games played and let out Q staff take it from there.

Good point. Legend has it he bursts into flames if he shows up in here in the midst of a winning streak. The extended layoff must have afforded him some invulnerability.

Now that the Bulls have mailed it in...

...the ice may be marginally better at the UC.

The Bull are getting killed and the coach will be looking for a new job. The team quit on him.

Our new Russian player is looking good. Got great moves, very very fast on skates, plays good defense. And has a quick release on his shot. Can't wait to see him in a Hawk jersey next season.

They lost? Good. Keep the ice fresh against the Quacks.

The Ducks were 8-1 vs STL, MIN, and NAS. Chicago was 4-2 with a shootout win vs AZ and EDM. Its a good thing for the Hawks the Ducks aren't the central.

The Hawks were 2-1 against the Ducks, outscored them 8-3 and oushot them like 135-81, something like that. Because they are superior possession team. And that's all there is to it. Hawks in 6.
Yawwwwwwwwwn.

Save your air for the blogs we have all grown to love. There's 2 teams left in the west, we could all go all day long. Thanks JJ for keeping us thinking and engaged for all these years. Long time lurker (no real time to post) from the other blog as well, and still appreciative for ALL the interaction. Let's keep our heads high and ride this out!

OT for the junior varsity Hawks vs. Wings

Q leaving to beat the traffic. Rumor floating that Hawks and Wings possible trade partners: Sharp for pick, Pulky and Lil' Bertuzzi?

Saw Pulkkinen (sp?) a few times with the Wings this year. Dude has a wicked shot. Didn't see enough to take a look at the rest of his game.

What do you think of him?

Double.

Thanks for the eyes and report. Interesting, Sharp will bring value back. For Christ sake leading scorer on the Hawks in 2013, All Star VP. Leader. Value. Sad to see him go.

13 seconds in and you're one step closer to putting Runs back in the press box. Lil' Bert wins it for the Griffs w his 2d goal of game

Johns? With 0 NHL games played? OK fine I will give him 2 games at home but I'm not Q.

Pulkkinen: absolute BOMB of a shot. Scores from everywhere. needs to quicken the release. Great work ethic and flare. Is he quick enough to overcome lack of size?

So much for the Hogs...needed a home sweep to have a chance.

We'll see how much fight they have left in game 5.
