Happy Hawkoween!: Blackhawks 3, Habs 2

AUTHOR: Jeffrey Bartl | IN: Blackhawks, Montreal Canadiens | COMMENTS: 2 Comments

Patrick “Razor” Sharp scored the game-winning goal with 4:50 left off a B-E-A-utiful pass from Patrick “Citizen” Kane. Yet, that wasn’t the best part of the night.
Jonathan “Head, Shoulders, Knees and” Toews and Adam “Bloodbath” Burish were dressed in orange and sky-blue suits, respectively, and were shown on the scoreboard screen toward the end of the contest. I laughed my ass off. For you idiots, that’s a Dumb and Dumber costume.
The Blackhawks 3-2 win against the Montreal Les Habitants was rather unexpected after the Canadiens scored a weak goal with 2.4 seconds left in the second period. But Sharp’s goal [...]

Les Habitants invade UC

AUTHOR: Jeffrey Bartl | IN: Blackhawks | COMMENTS: None Yet

Sorry for the delay in posts, everyone. I’ve been doing my share of drinking, sleeping and working because — unfortunately — this isn’t my full-time job.
I’m once again short on time because of the stupid job, but I’ll have a recap up after the game. And I might do it wearing my Blackhawks Halloween mask the team is giving out tonight.
I’m still a bit pissed about last night’s loss to Nashville. Rather than venting about it by cursing all over this page, I’ll put a smile on my face and welcome the Montreal Les Habitants to the UC for an [...]

Twitter me this, Marty: Blackhawks 3, Wild 1

AUTHOR: Jeffrey Bartl | IN: Blackhawks, Minnesota Wild | COMMENTS: 1 Comment

Twitter me this, Twitter me that: Is anyone still missing Martin Havlat?
In Havlat’s first regular-season return to Chicago since his off-season of deprecating tweets toward the Four Feathers, the Blackhawks held Marty to a mere shot on goal and decreased his plus/minus to a frightening minus-10 while keeping the Minnesota Wild winless on the road with a 3-1 victory.
Sorry, pal.
Once again, the game was nothing that would blow your skirt up. The Blackhawks committed eight penalties, lost 33 of 50 face-offs and looked like dog shit on the power play. However, two beautiful things came out of this game.
Patrick Kane [...]

Hu-aay! Hu-aay! Hu-aay! plus some Wild notes

Sorry for the delay in posts. Even bloggers like to drink all weekend and be lazy on Sundays.

That was the sweet music being sung by Blackhawks fans when Cristobal Huet received the First Star after Saturday night’s 2-0, 27-save shutout against the Nashville Predators. It made me believe for about two seconds people actually read what I wrote about some ‘Hawks fans the other day.
Nevertheless, the support was great to see/hear around the United Center, and I can only hope it continues so I don’t have to break any heads. Huet looked like a new man, coming out of the [...]

Toews, Seabrook out, Huet in net tonight vs. Nashville

AUTHOR: Jeffrey Bartl | IN: Blackhawks, Nashville Predators | COMMENTS: 1 Comment

Well, it’s official: I’m going to puncture the scrotum of every single Vancouver Canuck.
Chris Kuc is reporting the Blackhawks will be without Jonathan Toews and Brent Seabrook tonight against the Nashville Predators after suffering injuries in Wednesday’s 3-2 loss to Vancouver.
Jake Dowell is currently in the car on the way up from Rockford and will play on the fourth line tonight, and newly acquired Andrew Ebbett will play center on Toews’ line. Time to show what you’re made of, fellas.
This injury shit is really starting to get out of hand. And do we really need another reason to hate goddamn [...]
