TODAYS GAME DAY THREAD IS:




SGT Slaughter Approved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Domhnall Dubh]

Easily the most anticipated game 2 for me. Game 1 was awesome.

[Wile E Coyotes]

Lets go coyotes!!!!

[XX]

If Chipchura is in for Vrbata, it's only going to get rougher hit wise for the Hawks.

[golfmade]

Go Yotes!

[Trance Kuja]

I'm calling a Patrick Kane hat trick.

[Karter]

Gotta root for Raffi. Get em boys.

[frehley]

[No Fun Shogun]

Let's even this bad boy up!

[AP]

Let's bring this series to Chicago with a 2-0 series lead.

[Dudehama]

Vrbata will play!

#Coyotes Head Coach Dave Tippett says Radim Vrbata will play tonight in Game 2

Good news for the Yotes.

[UsernameWasTaken]

Tonight we turn things around!

[Blackhawkswincup]

Hawks depth will need to step up and Hossa/Sharp need to get there act together

Only Kane/Toews/3rd line showed up for 1st game

[Cullksinikers]

Hawks will tie this series up 1-1. The playoff nerves of the first game are over. That means the sloppy play is also gone. Being sloppy killed the Hawks. Their own mistakes killed them. I didn't feel as though Phoenix completely beat us last game.

[AmericanDream]

Hawks need to win or they are done..

someone on the power play needs to use their face to hit a puck in if necessary.

[FakeKidPoker]

Need to split up Kane-Toews-Hossa to try and get some balanced scoring.

Gotta get Sharp and Hossa going too..

[MadhouseOnMadison]

No idea what to expect tonight from Chicago but I think this game will be very telling as far as how the rest of the series goes.

Most of those mistakes were caused by the 'Yotes. It's called hearing footsteps. After being hit all game, players start pushing the play when there is no pressure there. Thus, you get a lot of stupid turnovers when there is no one putting pressure on to cause the turnover.

We hear this 82 games a season, "I don't feel like they beat us, as much as we just made so many mistakes."

[committedindian86]

Vrbata's back... Oh well. If the Hawks win this game, I'm loving our chances of winning the series.

[MadhouseOnMadison]

What's the word on Vrbata?
