Speed Limit 0 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 OK story time:So my friend goes to college in Chicago, he's a film major and wants to do artsy things like make movies/direct/do whatever in the business. Every now and then I catch up with him, haven't in a while but finally got around to doing it tonight. You know the usual things "How are you's?" and "How is classes?" Well for some reason I ask him about Chicago hockey and if a lot of people around the town are stoked about it, and if it gets good advertising. He then tells me how it's pretty awesome, and how he's never liked hockey but is getting into this year (you'll see why). He sad he went a game and saw one of the greatest goals ever. I immediately think it was the Toews goal, I asked him who they played and he said the Avs. so I can see why he was stoked. "dude this one shot was UNBELIEVABLE." I told him how I wish I was there and then he busts this one out on me. "oh, and one other thing, im dating the coach's daughter." I flip out ("WGHAIsfhg[eraief gpe87ftaewp8fyaewp98fyw[ea89fyqwe[09fyeqw\") and ask him more about it..."when i met him all i could say was, nice to meet you sir and we shook hands, but there is a ****in awesome story that goes with it. lets just put it this way, this is the night that sparked my friend and i to write a sitcom." Then promptly tells me that he's got to go, what a way to leave me hanging. But he said he liked her a lot and that she was are really nice and cool girl. So I'm pretty envious at this point.

TheDaveyG 6 Posted October 26, 2007 Author Share Posted October 26, 2007 I was pretty disappointed with their performance in Boston, but Boston looked pretty good though. Thomas is solid. The hawks need to figure out what to do with this Samsonov guy. I realize that he is propably better than having Cullimore, but they have too many forwards in the A that could be up here. He's had that wound for a couple games now. The whole game I was just waiting for Kane to skate right under Chara legs. That's 4G and 4A in 8 games for Toews. Koci and Zyuzin on IR, and Dave Bolland has been called up. Link to post Share on other sites
TheDaveyG 6 Posted October 28, 2007 Author Share Posted October 28, 2007 3 losses in a row, ouch. They are still playing well for the most part. Benching Samsonov was a great move, now just make it permanent and call up Skille. What i really liked was how Ruutu and Keith both jumped in when someone took a run at Toews last night.

coesillian 0 Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Hey Davey, who's going to fight Chara next LOL. That guy is a freaking monster, and who calls their kid Zedeno?Samsonov is a bum. It won't be long until he bolts off to Russia IMO. Link to post Share on other sites

That guy is a freaking monster, and who calls their kid Zedeno?Samsonov is a bum. It won't be long until he bolts off to Russia IMO.Chara is not that good of a fighter. Koci is just crazy, he'll go anytime anywhere. Zedeno sounds more like a soccer player's name, in fact, he should have Zedeno on the back of his jersey instead of Chara. Samsonov is a bum. I was fine with the trade when they made it because it saved us a little bit of dough and it got Cullimore out of here. There was a small chance that he could regain some of his scoring touch that he had when he was in Boston. He should go back to Mother Russia, the Hawks have plenty of young forwards who could contribute more than he can. Link to post Share on other sites

He doesn't fight that much because he is more valuable on the ice unlike Koci and other tough guys. Link to post Share on other sites

I've been talking up the BlackHawks all summer, and when Wirtz "was gone" I said that it's a new era for them. This just goesto show that thiungs are changing for the better here in Chi-Town. I know Adam (owner of The Lost Cause), and a few others, have recognized the Hawks as a team on the rise. To everyone else, jump on the wagon while there is still room. Oh, and to the Penguins fans, see you in the finals soon! Link to post Share on other sites
TheDaveyG 6 Posted November 1, 2007 Author Share Posted November 1, 2007 Backhawks at Dallas 10/31Toews already has a goal, so that makes it his first 10 NHL scoring a point. Kane has a goal and assist, and Ruutu has 2 assists. Hawks look good. I just wish that Bourque would break his slump and get a point tonight. He's been my favorite player for the past couple years, and he's just having a tough time this year. 10 times better than Samsonov, who was a healthy scratch for the second straight game. 3-1 after 2 periods, let's and finish them off!

TheDaveyG 6 Posted November 1, 2007 Author Share Posted November 1, 2007 That game got really exciting there in the third. Too bad they announced then took away Modano's assist. I'm glad the the Hawks didn't just fold and pack it in when they were down by 1, that shows you something about the team. Now they start a string against Central div. foes. 8 straight, 2 against each team. Link to post Share on other sites
ajs510 122 Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Toews still has not failed to register a point in a professional game. He's got to be flirting with the rookie record to start a career (I still don't know what it is), and if he keeps it up, Paul Stastnys rookie point streak record could be in jeopardy.

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Did they say who holds it currently? I think Toews is at 10 now.Im pretty sure its Dimitri Kvartlanov.Yeah, that guy. Link to post Share on other sites
