[AceintheSpace*]

Isnt Kane in Switzerland?

[IU Hawks fan]

Nope. Leaves Sunday.

[AceintheSpace*]

Dammit.

Wish I could go to this.

[IU Hawks fan]

Yeah, not looking like I can go either, which is pretty annoying

[zytz]

I'll be there tomorrow- so excited to have anything resembling a Hawks game right now m

+1, this comes at a nice time to get our fix.

[deytookerjaabs]

My girlfriend agreed to be the designated driver for my buddy and I tomorrow....Very Nice!

[RayP]

So who is going to bring a computer, camera, hack into their WiFi, and stream it?

You guys going suck. I'd totally go if I live up there.

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Was gonna go but the babysitter backed out on me last minute.

Woof.

[zytz]

Omg the Kennedy is a fricking nightmare right now. Hopefully they're lenient about puck drop time.

[zytz]

It's like a lazy all-star game where touching isn't allowed lol

11-11 at the end of the 2nd, Kaner with a hat trick, Staal Witt some nice plays. Burish took off his clothes, and the 2010 guys did the row boat.

It's a good time, but obviously a little different than the real thing

legendary

Carcillo dove into the hawks bench to 'fight' coach Ryan Dempster

[zytz]

Backstrom scores on a penalty shot! LMFAO

[zytz]

Carcillo with the game winner in the shootout for the world.

[mikitas donut]

That was a total blast! Burish took his clothes off like Ned Braden in Slap Shot. Ryan Dempster was dressed up like Herb Brooks too.

[Cullksinikers]

Looks like you guys had a blast.

[coldsteelonice84]

Great to see some hockey and they really had a lot of fun, the guys who stay should do this once a month.

[Iridium128]

is there any footage of this game? like highlights or something?

[coldsteelonice84]

Check YouTube, thread on main boards has Backstrom's goal.

And we the fans had a lot of fun too. It was bittersweet when it finally ended, not knowing when we'll see these guys on the NHL ice again, but it was nice to get my mind off the lockout for awhile. Helping the charity raise over $300,000 with our ticket purchase felt good too!

Ryan Dempster was awesome as coach. That fight with Carcillo was comedy gold. The deadpan look on Dempster's face after he dumped Dan over the boards...priceless.

Yes, overall the evening was great- the game left me a little bit wanting at times, but the comedy more than made up for it. Carcillo was hilarious all night long. Dempster was great, Burish was great. It was funny it looked like Backstrom was trying to gift Sharpie a goal at one point and he just stumbled all around the crease smacking everything and everyone with his stick except for the puck, lol.

There was some actual hockey played too, in bits. Staal is something to see in person- Hawks couldn't clear the puck at one point due to what seemed like Staal's heroic solo effort on the forecheck- he was just there ready to intercept every first pass. Mostly though, it was guys trying to make each other look like fools with fancy passing and dangles- the no contact meant anyone and everyone can and would skate right through middle trying to deke around the entire team, because they nly had to worry about getting pick pocketed as opposed to laid out lol

Also, it was 11,649 fans I think they said, raising a total of $323,500. Was a real feel good moment for everyone.

Another funny moment is when Jesse Rogers, while interviewing him, called Kane Patrick "cherry picker" Kane.

Here a couple vids of the celebrations:
