Post-Game Talk: Shutout!! Hawks Over Nashville 3-0

[kuzy]

10 out of 12 points...is all I have to say

 

[KyleJRM]

Awesome picture. This team has some shades of 09'-10'.

When I squint, I see Saad as a more athletic version of Ladd and Leddy as Campbell.

 

[BlackhawksHawkey]

Outstanding. That's all I can say. Just hope that when one or two losses come around, the boards won't have a trade/fire everyone meltdown

 

[madgoat33]

only 2 negatives i took from this game:
Sharp is still driving me ****ing nuts. just looks horrible with the puck. oduya also had a rough game, but its his first in awhile.

 

[committedindian86]

Why exactly?

He has his money and a cup ring from his TB days

And its not like Hawks tried to bring him back ,, They went with Huet mistake

Anybody who had to put up with winter in Edmonton would be doing the same thing.

When I get really drunk I see Bickell turning it on when it counts and becoming Byfuglien

The W is the important thing, but damn, it sure is nice to finally get a shutout again.

Jeez, haven't seen you around in awhile haha

 

[Hawkaholic]

To me, Leddy is getting a lot closer to a Brian Campbell when he was in Chicago. IMO, he should get more ice time, Oduya less. But, hard to break up what is currently working.

 

[madgoat33]

not gonna lie, i was getting nervous every time preds had puck in offensive zone in the 3rd, i really wanted to see shutout.

I'm still baffled how this team gave up 47 shots to the Flames.

 

[Cullksinikers]

We have seven straight games at home on the way. We've knocked out about 42 percent of our road games and a quarter of the schedule without a regulation loss. This is pretty awesome stuff.

 

[theaub]

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised to see them struggle a bit at home

But I mean, at this post a regulation loss is classified as struggling so that's not exactly groundbreaking news.

The Flames are surprisingly good offensively this year. I don't understand it.

Somewhere Khabibulin is downing a fifth of Stoli while cutting himself

I'm still mad we started Huet in the Winter Classic.

So long as Oduya isn't in meltdown mode, stick with what is working. Leddy is benefiting from not having as much pressure on him as last year and is able to just play his game and not have to overdo things. He's been solid though, much better than last year.

At this point of the NHL season, I usually turn up the difficulty level.

my top huet memory is that goal that went in off the sideboards. still have no idea how he let that in

He already does. Bickell really has been a solid playoff performer on a team of duds.

Nice.

My top Huet memory is game 5 against the Red Wings in the '09 WCF.
He was unreal. And that last second save at the end of regulation? Unbelievable.

Unfortunately it was all downhill from there. That was his peak.

@ESPNStatsInfo: Blackhawks record first shutout since Apr 21, 2011, snapping streak of 101 games without one. Every other NHL team had at least 2 last year.

 

[BronYrAur]

Hawks need 37-38 pts in their last 36 games to match last season's pace.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

I played goal. Shutouts mattered to me. I played left wing. They didn't mean a damn thing.

I just don't understand fans love of the shutout.
