Hey we have the Swedish defense combo back. They're both supposed to play. I think it's 17 games in 31 days for the final push. We've got two games before the big Sunday early match-up with the Wild.

Let's go Hawks. Let's go Gays.

Oduya set to play as well, no?

Uh yeah, thus the thread title and my comments on them playing together. Sorry, no chance I was going to try and spell out their names.

I did not know Oduya is a Swede. There is the source of my confusion.

Aww come on you racist! Get with the Gay program!

This Ducks team is so uninspiring. Getzlaf has 52 points but the team as a whole barely outscores what it allows. They lead the league with 39 fights. I don't think there's anything to be too worried about here.

I hope I'm wrong, but this feels like a perfect setup for the Hawks to play down to the crap they're facing on the ice.

Dunno if anyone can even think about hockey on a day like NFL Free Agency Day, but 15 minutes in and the Hawks are dominating possession while getting utterly goalied.

EDIT: 17-2 in shots on goal?!

Ducks also falling all over themselves to give the Hawks PP chances.

Getzlaf is still a shit

I almost barfed up my dinner when I realized that Ryan Getzlaf, who decided nothing was more important than beating up Richard Panik even if it meant a power play and sitting out two-thirds of the long-change period, is probably headed for the Hall of Fame.

Technically, this is good, but I can't deal with the blowjobs Yzerman is gonna get if the Bolts make the playoffs after selling at the deadline.

Man oh man the guys are gonna have fun with the story of Brent Seabrook cancelling a vacation so he could get free lunch.

Kesler dominated Toews tonight. Was in his head. I've always enjoyed their rivalry. Backes vs Toews was just about Backes being a shithead but Kesler vs Toews is about two really competitive guys engaging in psychological warfare.

Classic aim-for-the-chest game.

3 days off between games and shutout by the fucking Ducks.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

What you gonna do? Hawks were the better team and their net front presence wasn't great but it was good enough. Like CH said, one of those shoot at the chest games.

The Hawks got a little too caught up in the chippy-ness that is Duck hockey these days. Hawks could have easily had 5 goals, but (what CH said).

It'd be nice if they spank the Wings tonight.
