Those are my Hawks prospects in pink! Haven't been down to a Hogs game in a couple of years. Gotta check the schedule for the next time the Griffs are in town!



Best hockey line since Slapshot?

"An all out donnybrook at the BMO Harris Center, the Ice Hogs and the Griffins on pink in the rink night!"


So awesome! :D

The Icehogs are a bunch of co**sucking, cheap-shotting, *hole, d**ouchebag c***s. :mad: They've played this way since joining the AHL in 2008. And the Blackhawks promote those little sh*ts to the big club and practically award them metals-of-honor.

The Rockford Icehogs would be a perfect affiliate for the Philadelphia Flyers.

Stop being such a Nancy-pants! :p



The funny thing is that the Hawks are a total finesse team with no toughness at all. Would like to see a little (just a little) more Hogs-like spirit out of them from time to time. The Torres hit from last playoffs being an example.

Are the Wolves actually rough? Coz the Canucks are a finesse team too.

Are Wolves/Hogs games pretty heated?

I don't think I've ever seen a 3 on 0 in the pros.

Just did in the Hawks/Blues game. :eek:

Elliot's gotta make a save, pick up his team. :p

The St. Louis D really didn't show up that whole period... Elliot is the reason that they are only down 1-0.....

Really liking what I'm seeing from the Hawks offense so far this year... They are moving the puck very well and aren't having any problems placing that extra pass that results in a high percentage chance...

Was joking about Elliot. Badger fan here - Els is a hero.

I keep waiting for the Hawks to slow down. They're on a MISSION though!

Toews (and Sharpie) hasn't even gotten going yet, although he usually starts slow in terms of putting up points.

Is it just me or are the NHL refs this year totally incompetent? after watching 5 NHL games this year There have been several blatant penalties that have not been called that I think normally would of been called.

We play soft, just like the parent club. Similar to the Wings too. We can mix it up if needed thanks to the grit of Guillaume Desbiens. They do play the finesse game: looking for the pretty passes, trying to make the highlight reel stretch pass, etc.


At times they're heated. First few games in the league it seemed the Icehogs were trying to send a message that they wanted the Western Suburbs attention. But there was no continued rivalry, other than them just being up the road. For 2009 and 2010 it wasn't much different than the "rivalry" between Milwaukee, Peoria, and Grand Rapids. Then... the Thrashers were bought by the Moose and the Canucks needed an affiliate. The "rivalry" between the Icehogs heated up quickly with the new Canucks affiliation. A quick pan through the box scores shows how heated it can get.

So for those who didn't want to stay up for the usual snooze fest of Pacific coast hockey...

The Sharks are curb stomping the OKC Barons 6-2 (almost) through two periods.

Shocking an NHL team is better than an AHL team.

NHL rinks in the USA are starting to implement 50/50 raffles. The Flyers payout was just north of $40K.

I've seen some payouts from Canada approach $100K.

The Sabres have been doing this for at least two years. Normally, it's in the 12-15k range. The day before Thanksgiving last year it had a guaranteed payout of 20k and ended up going for approx 26k.

The Bandits did it at the game I went to on the 12th and it was only 5k.
 
Re: 2012-13 NHL Thread. Fehr Thee Well??

So the NHL app for phone/tablet sucks balls, but the video did look good while watching the Wild/Preds game last night. Too bad it crashes or doesn't load if you do just about anything else with it.

Now if they could get their PS3 app updated for the season, I could watch on my TV.

I really appreciate MLB and the way they do their online content right now.

I'd say at least four years, since they've been doing it ever since I started going to those games. I believe on Sunday it ended up somewhere in the 25-30k range.
