NHL W. Conference Finals: Red Wings defeat Blackhawks 4-1

[kujay]

Salo's not playing tomorrow. Demitra iffy too.

 

Injury update: Vancouver coach Alain Vigneault said defenseman Sami Salo, who left the ice after scoring the opening goal of Game 2 with a lower-body injury, will not play Tuesday. Winger Pavol Demitra is questionable.

Blackhawks have no excuse not to win the game then.

 

Pretty much. I find their defense to be a bit overrated even with Salo, and frankly, their entire team is due to cool down a little. A lot, actually. They were playing over their heads for the last month. It's time for some reality.

My buddy just called me and said his wife can't go to the game tomorrow and asked if I wanted to go...

 

...I have finals tomorrow starting at 6:00PM... I HATE... THIS CLASS... going to miss game 4 too.

That sucks. My work trip to Chicago was cancelled and therefore I'm not going. At least I was patient this time and didn't buy a ticket right away.

FROM THE TRIBUNE:

 

Kevin Bieska on Dustin Buyfuglien...

"He's a big body, but it's more of us worrying about ourselves than worrying about him," Canucks defenseman Kevin Bieska said. "I'm not going to sit here and pump up the guy's tire. I haven't really noticed him out there, to tell you the truth."

 

What a stupid comment Kevin, yeah, go on, don't notice him jackass, just keep fishing the puck out of your net.

 

This little wuss just loves to run his mouth and fire up the Hawks... I hope he gets his ass kicked by the end of the series.

It's one thing to say you need to focus on your own play and not worry about the other guy. But to say you haven't even noticed him out there? Does Buff really even need bulletin board material at this point? If so, he's got it.

Bieksa always says backwards BS to the media that does nothing but fire up the people he's talking about. He is a little wuss, too... I hope Buff labels him tomorrow night.

 

And we all saw what happened when Bieksa tried to be a tough guy physically. SEE: Ben Eager.

Jersey shirt would run you about the same... 10-15 bucks.

 

Not sure what kind of stores you have in Iowa.

[manbearcub]

jersey shirt would be great... i was thinking online was the best bet and hoping there were better deals than the official hawks site.

I haven't looked at TripleThreatSports.com in awhile... but I got a very affordable Versteeg jersey through them, I'm sure they have jersey shirts... really great customer service as well.

Do you already have a Blackhawks sweater? If not... go with that... every Hawks/Hockey fan should have a sweater of their favorite team.

[Cynosure]

Oh and here are our favorite Canucks:

It's game day, folks.

 

Buff is getting a lot of pub right now. Saw an article on SI.com this morning, and Sassone gives us this:

I finished college in 1999, luckily the Cubs,Bulls,Bears, and Blackhawks all sucked back then. I hope you can at least DVR the game?

Yea I can but from 7:00 -10:00 someone is bound to blurt out the score no matter how nicely I ask them not too :-\

I just can't watch sporting events all the way through on my DVR. I will either end up hearing the score, or I'll just get impatient and fast-forward to the end. Especially with something like this. I would just need to know what happened immediately.

I usually only fastforward through intermissions/commercials and especially the other team's PPs.

Bieksa got a hooking penalty when Buff ran Luongo? I missed all of that until just now. Cyno I think your HNIC conspiracy theory really gets thrown out the window on that one.

Was a wishy washy penalty... there "was contact" but Buff also lost an edge.

 

Bieksa should have gotten about three or four other minors that game, so it evened out. I provided a picture earlier in this thread of him holding Versteeg and also when he ragdolled Sharp at the end of the 2nd period.

 

It all evens out... kinda.

Probably. Most Wings fans believe in the HNIC conspiracy also. I dont personally. I think most fans emotional attachment makes them unobjective viewers. Just to be fair I am sure that Buff and Eager could probably rack up 4 or 5 penalties a game also. Same as Maltby and Chelios.

 

Also, do make sure your game doesnt go OT tonight....Dont want it to interfere with the Wings/Ducks coverage too much.

That article is truly hilarious.

 

Flabby, quitter Buff should be flipping burgers, but instead he's destroying our handpicked, raised from the crib savior and it's ruining our series! How dare that big, bad, fat guy off the street spoil our holy crusade!

DESTROY THESE BOZOS!!! GAMETIME IS CLOSE BABY!!!
