3-0 Nashville after 1. Rozsival fell down to give up an easy wrister. Crawford overplayed the puck and gave up an empty netter. The Preds straightup outplayed Chicago for their 3rd goal.

Blackhawks look like a total fucking disaster right now. It's just one game, but Rozsival honestly shouldn't suit up for the remainder of the season. Guy is an absolute liability. Why Q is pairing him with KEITH is fucking madness.

Couldn't agree more on Rosival, he is a worthless son of a bitch. He must have something on Q.

Headcase Crow in goal tonight and just cannot be absent minded like this. I blame Rosival for 1st goal but second 2 on Crown IMO.

Glad Crow got pulled.

Look what happens when you have guys going to the net.

Calls a little uneven at the moment.

3-3 mid-third. Blackhawks dominated 2nd period and 3rd has been scrappy. Seth Jones laid down for a goal-saving block. Blackhawks just have to put together a good shift and plant the go-ahead.

...and we're in overtime. Darling has kept the Blackhawks in this game. Should be over.

Both goalies kicked ass in first OT. Darling doing himself proud.

Hawks made helluva comeback and now just hope they can make it a W.

The comeback win certainly swung momentum in Chicago's favor. Blackhawks steal home ice advantage in the series, and now have a good problem at goalie. They can either go with a hot-hand in Darling after the game he played last night, or go with Crawford, who would be rested after playing just one period instead of four-and-a-half periods.

I am not Crow's biggest fan, but without his play the last half of the year the Hawks would be in a lot worse shape. He was the man for the Hawks down the stretch behind some piss poor D. I think you go back to him, he is not immediately trash. I think he comes out strong, he usually has after being pulled. You have to keep his confidence up.

I just wish Q would effin sit rosival. The dude is just worthless, grizzled vet or not, he is a liability.
