2 totally different situations. The Hawks lost a ton of players off their cup winning team and the Bruins returned basically the same exact team. That's why I refuse to accept the fact it was any sort of hangover. Just a cold streak like the Bruins go through every year for a few weeks. They've been dominant the last 3 games, and 2 of those games came against teams that were on 5 or 6 game winning streaks. The Bruins are one of the teams that have played the fewest games in the NHL thus far so I think they're really starting to find their stride after opening the season flat.

Bergeron between the two youngsters has been absolute magic.

...That sounded like the description of a 3sum :lol

Nice to see the top line clicking again. I love little things like the Horton-to-Lucic goal; Horton could have taken that shot, but selflessly dished it off to Lucic. The biggest thing to take away from something like this is that they are back to believing in each other.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Our top 2 lines have been unbelievable the past few games. I think Lucic is showing his 30 goal season was not a fluke last year. He took a lot of flack for his playoff performance but he was playing with a broken toe and a broken nose and it was reported he could hardly breathe have the time he was on this ice. And the Bergeron line has been scary good since Seguin got put on it. The Bruins announcer said it best last night when he said that Seguin is finally giving the Bruins a player that puts fans on the edge of their seats every time he touches the puck, which is something they haven't had in a while.

Letestu to Columbus for a 4th.

Columbus is saved

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

this biggest thing this means is that it clears a spot for Crosby to come back.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

So hopefully the Hawks turn it on against the Blues tonight. Goals could be hard to come by in this one with Hitchcock now behind the bench for St. Louis.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Crosby watch officially starts now.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Seems like they had a really nice little tribute in St. Louis tonight for Pavol Demitra and Igor Korolev.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Wow. Pretty damn brutal fight for Carcillo. Props to him for fighting Reeves. What a bitch. Waits to take a run at Kane when John Scott isn't on the ice. Carcillo is killed but good on him for taking on a guy who has a giant size advantage.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I wouldn't mind reeves getting crosschecked square in the back after that hit and the spear...

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Pretty weak period.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

if these d pairings don't stay I'm gonna be so fucking pissed

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

...and yet another very mediocre period of hockey played by CHI. Glad to see Toews with some legitimate wingers, though. The chances were evening up a bit toward the end of the period, but the D look very confused.

They clearly need a bit of time to gel a bit. But honestly I've already seen 4 and 7 together once, and I think I've seen Scott and Leddy on the ice at the same time.....

Either way, Scott on defense is never going to be a good situation. It already seems like he's gotten more minutes tonight than the entire season to this point.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

stop critiquing every goddamn period that you don't like

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I'm alright with Scott in the lineup for games like this. Also think he should have been in Sunday.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Give me a break. I've watched just about all of every game. I'm just providing my thoughts and would love some actual discussion.

Wow, yet another PP goal against us.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Sweet effort against the most pathetic power play in the league....is dancing with the stars on tonight?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

And Bollands hurt, awesome.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Now Bolland hurt. This is a nightmare.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Need more traffic in front of the net, offense has been weak outside shots for the most part.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

It gets a little tedious when every single post over the last 2 weeks has been "bad period by the hawks" "hawks look slow that period" "another bad period by the hawks"

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

:thumbsup Yup. Nobody is moving to the front of the net and when they do it's usually way too late.

Kane just gave Hossa a nice setup from just above the slot but he couldn't elevate the puck.

Yeah, I know I tend to be a bit pessimistic, but most of the periods over that time just haven't been good.

Hawks getting a great chance now, though.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Stalberg should never be on the PP.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Jesus.....

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

A lot of truth here. Nothing on that PP.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I just don't know what is into this team over the last 3-4 games

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Hawks need this. 4 straight minutes with a man advantage, you have to score.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Who knows. Thank God for Duncan Keith tipping away that pass on the 2-on-1. The PP being so dreadful has definitely caused a lot of problems elsewhere.

And now a quick whistle. Fuck! Unbelievable. Just really bad luck right there.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

A lose to the Stars on the road is acceptable. But losing the Isles is uncalled for. C'mon Caps

Grammar much?
