Chicago Hawkie Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 This one should be very interesting - mainly because Alain Vigneault is behind the Rangers' bench. I think Vigneault is a major factor behind the Hawks' rivalry with the Vancouver Canucks in recent years. It will be interesting to see if any of that nastiness is evident in the game vs. the Rangers tomorrow night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Hawkie Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 Bummmmmmmmmmerrrrr ... The Blackhawks gave up a goal late and lost 3-2. What was interesting was that shortly before the winning goal, the commentators were saying that the Blackhawks were trying to be too fine and make the picture-perfect play. The Rangers didn't have to try to go to those lengths to win the game, however. The commentators also mentioned abput how quiet it seemed at the UC. Maybe the fans were as tentative as the team, perhaps? I never know what will happen when the team plays the Rangers. This was also the case when I was living in Michigan and cheering for the Wings back in the day. I never know what we're going to get with the Rangers - they're so unpredictable, in my opinion. Two years ago, the Blackhawks had an unbelievable 9-game losing streak going inot a game vs. the Rangers in New Yorks and then won that game (I think it was a 5-2 final but I may be wrong).
