You boys think you're upset about Crawford....try being an Avalanche or Penguins fan this morning.
Everyone has been saying this is going to be a 7 game series from the beginning and it's sure looking that way.....and I don't think that works in the Blues favor. You guys have been there, you've won BIG games, and you have a lot more 'clutch' players. We have TANK......and really nothing else.
I know Hitch keeps talking about 'holding serve at home' but I think hoping for a game 7 is a very - very dangerous scenario for the Note.

Tarasenko, the commy bastard. That dude has been the team IMO. I hate him. Kind of surprised they let Kane skate right down without even making an attempt to take him off the puck.

They can get their razors out and shave. They got pummeled today. Nice game for our guys.Thats how you win rings.

This is exactly what I came here to post.RING4CHI wrote:I do appreciate Crawford more after seeing some of the goals Miller gave up today.
That said...I'm not trying to take all the credit away from your guys. You're best players found their way onto the score sheet..our top players...Oshie, Steen, Petro....sucked balls....again....for a third straight year.
They'll probably blame it all on Miller, replace a third and a forth line player, and put Hitch on the hot seat. Never addressing the real issue. The second period in game six and third period in game 5 stand as perfect proof..the Blues dominated play and while Crawford made some nice saves we missed a ton of open nets. YOU HAVE TO FINISH!
Congrats, and good luck (until you get to the finals, then I have to root against you).

I am as big a Crow critic as there is but he kicked ass yesterday. No softies. He is MVP of the team so far. Bickell getting done, he is a big time player. Didn't do much in reg. season but has been a beast.
I think this series took a toll on the Hawks so will be interesting to see how they rebound. I will be honest, I want to see the Wild. The Avs owned us this year so I want to shy away from them.
It has been a helluva playoffs so far, been watching as much as possible.

Much happier it's the Wild. The Avs for whatever reason have had the Hawks number for a few years now. Wild won't go down without a big fight but I think the Blackhawks can handle it. I think it's gonna be another 6 game series.

It is comforting to know we will not be going to the Mile High City for 4 games. While I would love for the Hawks to win it in 4 or 5, this may go 7. Wild really stepped it up against the Avs. They are fairly deep. Not sure if their goalie was pulled due to physical hurt or mental hurt, that could play out in this series. Surprised Bryzbalov did n't start last night.
Need Sharp to get it going from the start and Bickell continues his post season kick ass play.

Kane saved them from overtime. They were looking really ragged even w/ a 2-0 lead. Kane was hot all night long and the Sharp/Kane/Smith line is special shit. Need to work on line changes but otherwise a great start.

Not worried at all by the outcome. Wild made two really good plays on the first two goals.
Hawks record of opening road games in playoffs is dreadful so expected them to follow suit for some reason. Do not know why they can't get shit going on the road but it is definitely a problem.
Brygalov played a good game, his best of playoffs so far. he is shaky and will come back down to earth.
It was definitely a different game, but it is the playoffs and there are rarely short series. Would not be surprised to see this got 6 or 7 games.

Yeah. He had an awful two games and he knows it. Equally as poor was the entire fucking offense. They got totally outhustled in 2 games on the road.Stay_Cool wrote:*peeks into topic*UOK wrote:Should the Hawks lose game 4, which they probably will at this rate, you can easily pin it on Crawford.

Fuck this pussy version of the Blackhawks that for SOME reason shows up every now and then and doesn't give a SHIT. They lose at the UC they deserve to lose the series and be ashamed of themselves in the process.

It seems like they have gotten a little full of themselves and are believing all the hype. The seem to have to be behind the 8 ball to turn it on. Good thing they have home ice advantage. They have just not looked intense these past two games and they didn't deserve to win either.
I will stand by I had a knee jerk reaction the first time. But the team played poorly. Shots on goal was abysmal. If we don't right this at home, we are toastUOK wrote:Yeah.
