Raffi Torres Gets His And The Blackhawks Still Haven’t Lost A Game In Regulation
Well that was fun. The fight. The win. Anytime Mike Smith gets torched and half of the stadium is Hawks fans while the other half is empty seats. And I was in the “Lets get a win and not worry about “revenge” camp prior to the game but Jamal Mayers going after Torres clearly fired the entire team up. Listening to Kane in between the first and the 2nd you could just hear it in his voice and body language. Intangibles like team chemistry and “toughness” are always difficult to measure and usually reserved for meatballs that want the Hawks to hit more, but that fight last night undoubtedly gave the entire team a boost in both departments. So I’m not arguing with it in the least.
As for the game itself. I know the Coyotes spent the entire first period in the penalty box and that Mike Smith had very little help in terms of defense but god damn is it nice to watch that asshole get torched. Outside of Luongo, a Mike Smith meltdown is my favorite opposing goalie experience in the league. Its just too bad the equipment manager took his stick as he was coming off the ice otherwise we would have gotten the whole Smith effect. For Shame.
Other Quick Notes
-Patrick Kane is absolutely on fire (2G, 1A last night, second in the league in total points). Hart Trophy is completely a legitimate thing to start mentioning.
-Mike Smith in 5 Non-Blackhawk games. 8 GA. Mike Smith in 2 Blackhawk games 12 GA. Again, I love seeing Mike Smith self combust.
-One of the best parts about watching the Blackhawks each night is that Toews will always do something that makes you say “Whoa”. Sometimes its not always readily apparent to the naked eye. Last night though, it was clear as day. He broke Oliver Eckman-Larson’s ankles in half, and probably added an ACL for fun. Or as Pat perfectly put it “He undressed him”.
-Speaking of Pat, did he get dressed in the dark last night? Or was he shooting for the diarrhea colored sports coat?
-Still not as bad as Silent Bob in his garish urine colored Starter jersey.
-And now that I’ve made you look at poorly dressed men, lets finish with something nicer. 9-0-2, feels fucking good.
glad you put neil in his place
well played with the bitch at the end there.
This team is awesome to watch.
I spy with my little eye, a little bit o’ nipple!
Big Cat came to play today
What time did you start drafting this blog?
I still cannot believe Hawk fans being so impressed with what Mayers did. Raffi Torres put one of your best players in the hospital on an illegal hit and could have ended his career. Someone had to step and fight him, lets just win the game was not an option in this case. It would have left your team vulnerable to future cheap shots. I’m impressed that Raffi held his own. That being said the Hawks are the best team in the NHL.
no homo, i think that move toews pulled might have given me a bigger hard on than those last three pics did.
I love everything about this – except for the Mike Smith part. I’m a blackhawks fan (and a bruins fan – weird, I know) but I respect the fuck out of Mike Smith. He resurrected his career with the ‘yotes after Tampa, and he’s the only reason they’re somewhat decent.
Can we please have a name on that chick?
this broad needs to be featured pronto tonto
Bruins > Atlanta Hawks
chive on with the girl at the end
imtough should change his name to imdumb
Maybe IMTough isn’t the biggest sportsfan but he’s technically correct though.
big cat you are such a homer… it looks like torres held his own in that fight. i remember the coyotes going further in the playoffs then the blackhawks last year. suck it
Phoenix is a goddamn disaster. Don’t pat yourself on the back too much about half of the stadium being Hawks fans. For every home game in Phoenix half of the stadium is the other team’s fans. And that fight wasn’t much of a fight…doesn’t Chicago have an actual tough guy?
The 2 pictures at the end are even better than the pictures of the Blackhawks Ice Crew that I requested from Neil yesterday (and he never posted). I only wish Torres would have bled.
who the fuck is that and where can i get her number so i can start calling her, heavily breathing while my dick is in my hand, and then hang up.
