Why not go 6-0?
Is it being a little too greedy to think the Hawks can go 6-0 on this road trip?
Wednesday's game in San Jose won't be easy, but the Sharks can be beat and the Hawks almost did it last week at the United Center. The Hawks led 5-4 going to the third period then took a couple dumb penalties and wound up losing 6-5.
It's on to Anaheim Friday and the Ducks aren't anywhere near as good as they were when they won the Stanley Cup.
The Hawks close the trip Saturday at Los Angeles against an improved, but nothing special Kings team.
The way Khabibulin is playing and the way the Hawks have shown they can score goals, there's not a game on the schedule they can't win.
It's almost a quarter of the way into the season and the Hawks are on pace to get more than 100 points. As long as the injuries don't start piling up there's no reason to think the Hawks can't keep the momentum going.
Nik to start
Joel Quenneville said Khabibulin would face the Sharks, putting him in line to start two of the next three games.
If the Hawks win Wednesday, I'd come right back with Khabibulin on Friday in Anaheim and give Huet the game Saturday in L.A.
No Buf
The big guy will miss his third straight game Wednesday with his chest/ribs problem.
Quenneville hopes Byfuglien can play over the weekend, but there's no reason to push it.
How's that sweep coming?
I know the Hawks are a nice story, but half way through a 6 game trip, you are talking sweep. I guess the sharks were not that beatable after all. Here comes a 3 and 3 trip, espescially with Huet in net. GO SHARKS!!!!!!
Too much holiday cheer already, Tim?
#1 Stay out of the sin bin.
#2 Throw many pucks at the net.
#3 Click on the Power Play.
#4 Kidnap Joe Thornton.
#5 Don't give Roenick any early xmas presents!
Oh, and punch Cheechoo in the head...twice!
Why not go 6-0? Going .500 on this trip is universally regarded as a success and six points have already been achieved. Why not go for broke, every point earned this week is gravy.
The second day of a back-to-back, which ends the circus trip? After playing two large, physical teams?
That is a recipe for a letdown game that ends 6-1.
Also, there's no such thing as jinxes. Just my two cents.
Will you stop jinxing the team, please! You said the same kinda thing on their homestand and then they lost 3 in a row.
