WELCOME TO A NEW ERA!!!!! icon_dance.gif

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.

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 icon_biggrin.gif ).

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.

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.

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.

I guess I might have to call Toews up from my farm team and start using him.

Pay 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.

Who is going to 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......

Well, if Gruven thinks it'll be close, how can I pass up the Hawks at +175? Even if they are starting their backup.

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.
