OT- Who's Rooting for the STARS today?
With a Wings win coupled with a Stars win, Chicago will not make the playoffs. This would be awesome because i know, at least up here at ferris, that everyone from chicago thinks all of their teams are gods gift to each given sport.
it would also back up the claim that they did in fact buy the trophy last year and then promptly gut their roster.
GO WINGS and for today go stars!!

The first tiebreaker is wins accumulated, that's correct. However, it excludes wins from a shootout (awesome rule change by the way). If the Stars win, both teams have 38 ROW (Regulation plus Overtime Wins).
After that stat, the tiebreaker becomes the greater number of points earned in games between the tied teams. Then after that, the greater differential between goals for and against for the entire regular season.

I kinda hoped for it. Does that make me petty?
that those douchers chant "Detroit sucks" every chance they get. You won't feel petty anymore.

Dallas has 95 pts chicago has 97
a win in regulation is 3 pts
95+3=98 = STARS

Nope, a win is just 2 points. I don't think Dallas has a shot.
Here's the tiebreaker procedure from NHL.com:
If two or more clubs are tied in points during the regular season, the standing of the clubs is determined in the following order:
- The fewer number of games played (i.e., superior points percentage).
- The greater number of games won, excluding games won in the Shootout (NEW for 2010-11). This figure is reflected in the ROW column.
- The greater number of points earned in games between the tied clubs. If two clubs are tied, and have not played an equal number of home games against each other, points earned in the first game played in the city that had the extra game shall not be included. If more than two clubs are tied, the higher percentage of available points earned in games among those clubs, and not including any "odd" games, shall be used to determine the standing.
- The greater differential between goals for and against for the entire regular season.
If the Stars win in regulation and the Hawks lose in regulation, both would have the same number in the ROW column, so we'd move to point 3.
I don't know the record between the two clubs though.

From prior linked article-
The Blackhawks go into that finale two points ahead of Dallas for the Western Conference’s final playoff spot. But a Stars victory—they’re playing non-playoff qualifier Minnesota on Sunday night—would force Chicago to at least get one point against the Red Wings. The scenarios are simple: If the Stars win and the Blackhawks lose in regulation, they’re out. If the Stars lose or the Hawks get one or two points, Chicago is in.
‘We (were) going into these last two games assuming that (the Stars were) going to win out, pretty much,’’ Hawks captain Jonathan Toews told the Chicago Tribune. ‘‘We (had) to do the same thing. It’s always been up to us. It’s always been about how we prepare, how we play and how bad we want it.’’

Whoops. Thanks for clarifying. Go Stars!
April 10th, 2011 at 12:23 PM ^
You are wrong. A win in regulation is only 2 points. However the Stars would take 8th place on tie-breakers. I believe the first tie-breaker is ROW or Regulation+Overtime wins. This is all wins excluding shootout wins.

Nothing better for a Wings fan than a win against the Hawks coupled with the Hawks missing the playoffs. Time for the veterans to step up and shut down that little girl Hossa.
my fellow Wing fans have for Hossa is really dumb to me. Guy did the Wings a favor 2 years ago by signing a one year deal with them and scored 40 goals for the Wings, and than was offered a deal by the Blackhawks that no sane person could pass up. The Hossa hate makes absolutely no sense, unless any sane person could say they would pass up the deal that the Blackhawks offered him.
Hossa actually turned down a much better, long-term deal from the Penguins to sign with us that year. He played his ass off (through injuries in the playoffs) for us and then, as you said, took a great offer from the Hawks.
There are a lot of reasons for Wings fans to hate the Blackhawks, but Hossa isn't one of them.

i used CCHA scoring
either way seems stars can still make it
April 10th, 2011 at 12:31 PM ^
The NHL wants the Hawks in the playoffs, I say detroit has 1 goal disallowed and takes around 9 penalties in the game. 3-2 Chicago in OT.
Thank you, aptly titled poster.

Go Wings. Time to break out the sticks, Chicago.
April 10th, 2011 at 12:39 PM ^
Their obession with the Red Wings is scary. I've been to the United Center twice and instead of chanting "Let's Go Hawks!" they spend more time yelling "Detroit Sucks!". When the scoreboard says differently they get really defensive when you point that out.
I don't really care for any Chicago sports fans in general. Everyone talks about Philly fans or Boston or New York but Chicago is right up there.They are obnoxious and rude for all sports, especially baseball and hockey. By contrast the Maple Leaf fans at the Joe a couple weeks ago were great. They were loud, cheered their team and were really interested in talking about hockey. The fans across the aisle were even better because we talked about the Wings and Leafs playing at Michigan Stadium when there is another Big Chill.
Warning: I'm going to flog a dead horse here. Be warned.
"Everyone talks about Philly fans or Boston or New York but Chicago is right up there."
Agreed, very much. Cubs and Bears fans get plenty of national attention, but it always seems to fall short of what's showered on the coastal teams. Go figure.
i will give you blackhawks fans; who just crawled out of the woodwork two years ago. i've lived here over 10 yrs; rarely saw hawks garb. now everyone wears it (still with the store creases in them), claiming they've been hawks fans forever.
bears fans, in general, are also a-holes.
baseball fans though? don't get that one. they have nothing on any other team, period. one title between them in over 80 years. i shut them up pretty quickly when they open their yaps.
on opening day, a guy had a chicago cub trivia book. i destroyed the other 6 so-called cub fans, leaving the quizzer laughing. if the answer wasn't sammy sosa, they didn't know it.
I'm from the area as well and I hate it. I happen to be a Wings fan, but I like that hockey has blown up in Chicago. However, people who don't know dick about the game and make stupid comments and try to argue it, not so much.
Cool story brah warning:
When I was younger we would play every year at the United Center (one of their off ice officials is a family friend, so he'd get us picked). As part of the deal, you have to agree to sell an allotment of tickets. It was a well known fact that unless Detroit or a good St. Louis team was in town the place would never sell out, and thus the ticket money would be lost. That place was empty in the early 2000's, and now everyone has been a "fan for life".
/rant.
Well, Detroit does suck.
I don't think you get it. That's fine.
exactly do opposing fans think that the chant is an insult, considering most Red Wing fans like myself don't even live in Detroit. Same is true for most Tiger and Lion fans as well. There is no denying the sad state of the city of Detroit, but it isn't an insult when most Detroit sports fans don't even live there.
Nashville fans are the other fans I notice doing the "Detroit sucks" often, which cracks me up considering the Predators have won absolutely nothing in their short history.
I'm almost wondering if you intentionally missed the point here. Most fans of most teams do not live in the city that is attached to the name. Do you think most Angels fans live in Anaheim? Yankees fans? The team is connected to the name; fans of rival teams dislike the other team, say they suck. Jesus.
I can't stand the most- The Bulls.

Oh Franzen! You gotta bury that one.
To the OP: What % of students at Ferris are from Chicago and its 'burbs? I've always assumed that Michiganders made up 90+% of the total. (I suppose that could still be the case.)
ferrris offers in state tuition to chicago and some of its burbs so theres a decent amount, and their "our teams better than everyone attitude" makes it seem like their are more
The reason why Dallas would make it if Chicago loses in regulation and Dallas wins is because Dallas leads the season series 6 points to 3 points. Both teams would be tied in points, tied for the first tiebreaker and Dallas would win the second tiebreaker (head-to-head).
Holmstrom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dats!!!! this is what I am talking about.
Pavel with a solid shot!
That was a quick turnaround.
one glove = more love!!
I have to say I am conflicted on this game. I hate the Hawks and removing them from the playoffs would make me very happy.
Although, If Chicago were to win Detroit would recieve Nashville in the first round. Factoring in the team and location I believe it would be a much better matchup than Phoenix.
I really can't decide so GO WINGS!
Fuck the Hawks and fuck the groin slashing SOB Patrick Sharp.
What the fuck, where is the double minor for getting cut with a stick?
Seabrook has now launched 2 wings sticks into the air
and he just drove Abs into the net. Man he is a perhaps the douchiest hawks.
Nashville is a very good team. Great defense, coach, and fantastic goalie.
Phoenix has a great goalie, better offense, and a good defense, but not Nashville good. Plus travel time to Phoenix is longer.
Its a toss up. The western conf. is ridiculously good this year.
Datsyuk just put on a stick-handling clinic.
4-2! Suck it, Chicago.
Eff Chicago!
Not over yet!!!!
<br>
That was horrible.
