TheDaveyG 6 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 WELCOME TO A NEW ERA!!!!! What an exciting time for the Hawks. The winds of change are blowing through the Windy City this winter. The teams looks good, the young guys look amazing. If you haven't seen Toews goal or Kane's first NHL, against the Avs tonight...here they are.Toews goal was amazing. I'm so happy to finally have a team to be excited about again. They have a shot at the playoffs, but even if they don't, they will still put on a show and it won't be long before they are in the Finals. Link to post Share on other sites
TwstdWrstr 10 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Obv I'm an Avs fan but above all I'm a hockey fan. That Toews goal was as nice a one-man goal as you will ever see. His stickhandling was spectacular. Dare I say... sick?I think it's great the Hawks are finally putting together a good team. The league is a better league when the "Original Six" teams are competitive and get in the playoffs. I hope they make it in (not at the cost of Avs of course though ).

troyomac 0 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Toews goal was amazing.Wow, that was a very very impressive goal. I watched a little bit of the game tonight (very rare for me to watch a Chicago game), and I was impressed with what I saw of Kane as well. They are definately a couple players to watch out for.

ajs510 122 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Holy hell, that Toews goal is incredible. I doubt very seriously that I could get the same 100-1 odds against I took on Chicago to win it all this year anymore, they look damn good. I've been saying since the middle of last season that they'll be this year's post-lockout Sabres, coming out of "nowhere" with a serious chance to make the playoffs. Link to post Share on other sites
strategy 4 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Holy hell, that Toews goal is incredible.Equally incredible was the avalanche's defense on that play.I'm happy that the hawks are somewhat close to being competitive again. Blues-Hawks rivalry ftw. Link to post Share on other sites

FCP Bob 1,321 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I guess I might have to call Toews up from my farm team and start using him. Link to post Share on other sites

TheDaveyG 6 Posted October 20, 2007 Author Share Posted October 20, 2007 we will school those hawks tonight..Leafs 6 Hawks 2Pay close attention tonight Serge, you'll actually get to see a team with a future rookie of the year and a bright future. I think it will be a high scoring game, but a close one. These back-to-back games are good learning experiences for the young guys. First back-to-back, they beat the Redwings then Dallas.

gruven 530 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 What is your prediction for the game? I think it will be high scoring. The leafs will be looking to roll over a team that they feel is inferior. After a good defensive effort against Florida, the danger is in the d now letting down again. Trying to score goals does not translate into a solid defensive effort. It's usually one way or the other. As for the Hawks, it will be interesting to see if they kids young legs can keep pumping when they're tired. The newly acquired team speed is just the ticket to beat the leafs, if they can summon the effort. Since Toronto is hype central, there will be much talk about Toews and Kane. That may allow some room for some of the other talented Hawks forwards. All in all, it points for me to a high scoring game. I think this one is a one goal difference. If I had to pick a winner, I'd probably go with the Leafs in OT, but I really believe it will be close...... Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Well, if Gruven thinks it'll be close, how can I pass up the Hawks at +175? Even if they are starting their backup. Link to post Share on other sites

TheDaveyG 6 Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 Weeeee! That was some kind of fun. THe young guys look so good, and they are making these vets look good too. Such a difference from last year when they struggled to get goals, now these seem to just turn it on and score in bunches. True, it was against the Leafs, but still, they looked good.

I would like to put on the record that, with the Empty net goal, I called this one pretty much right on the money! That means I can be badass wrong the next couple of times out and still have a shred of credibility!!!! Nice game by the Hawks, btw, they are def an impressive young team Link to post Share on other sites

Sigh why does Pat Kane have to be too good? Can I pay someone in the chicago area some cash to tanya harding him so we can get him back in London? Ahh well, it was a pleasure to get to see him for 1 year at least, hopefully him and Taowes and maybe another ex-Knight Dave Bolland can really light it up in the future.

Yes, sad to say that the next time you see Pat Kane in London will be the 25th anniversary of that Knights team.... He is sure fun to watch.... hopefully Hawks fans are looking at a couple of years of debating which one is better, Kane or Toews..... Link to post Share on other sites

With all the talent London keeps stealing our rafters are going to be pretty full in 20 years I think. Link to post Share on other sites
