Chicago Hawkie Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Oh hell ... the Devils are coming to town. Since it has been awhile since these two teams met, I am not sure how to gauge this matchup. I am expecting it to be a low scoring game reminiscent of games against the Devils in the mid to late 1990s and early 2000s. I remember some of those Detroit-NJ games where the game would go by and then it would be midway through the third period and the Wings would be down 2-0 ... against Marty Brodeur.

Chicago Hawkie Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 @Spinorama Brodeur's an ageless legend at this point ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinorama Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 @Chicago Hawkie His accomplishments have done much to weary this Flyers fan. The guy's a beast but I'm ready for him to take a seat in the broadcasting booth... or heck, a beach chair even Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goalnut3133 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Hmm, it will be interesting if Schneids is in goal for NJ & see how he fares against the Hawks. :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Hawkie Posted December 24, 2013 Author Share Posted December 24, 2013 Hawks win 5-2! It was a well-played game by the Hawks. It has been awhile since the Hawks and Devils met, so I was not sure how this was going to play out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goalnut3133 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 It seemed a tight game at first, surprising, not many shots on either end for most of the 1st I think. But then, KA-POW! Here come da Hawks! Sharpie almost got the hat-trick! Hit the post. Dunno what Schneids was thinking there! Imo, he really isn't a match for the Hawks, he's just not ready yet. Annnnd, his puck handling needs a little bit of work..haha. Hawkie, how about the least number of shots allowed by Hawks in a game this season-- 12 shots allowed from NJ! 2nd lowest S/A was Oct vs Tampa I think with 15 shots allowed. Unreal! I liked Sharpie's post-game interview, he's a cool dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Hawkie Posted December 24, 2013 Author Share Posted December 24, 2013 @goalnut3133 I know, right? There have been a number of games where the Hawks outshot their opponent like that. The team D statistics going into this game between the Hawks and the Devils were quite staggering ... the Devils were -7 and the Hawks were +45 (or something like that). Sharpie's great. I was surprised when I saw the NHL RIvals segment on the Flyers and Hawks which mentioned that he went to the Hawks from the Flyers. Merry Christmas to you!

goalnut3133 Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Wow, that's quite the staggering differential! Oh yes, I do remember hearing something about Sharpie being with the Flyers once, I'd totally forgotten! It's so hard to imagine him being anywhere else now..haha. A very Merry Christmas to you & your family, Hawkie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Hawkie Posted December 25, 2013 Author Share Posted December 25, 2013 @goalnut3133 Hi goalnut! I think that differential might not be so good against Colorado, the Hawks' next opponent, though. The Avalanche are taking the #1 Chicago nemesis team ranking from the Oilers. Stastny is a Hawks killer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
