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

[kujay]

Sad thing is, it was our best defensemen that sucked the most tonight. "Defensemen." That title hardly even applies to Campbell. That game was a toss-up. The Wings probably had more great chances, but it was really close. To have it end like that is just terrible.

 

Sorry bastard.

[17 Seconds]

ughh I HATE BRIAN CAMPBELL

 

seriously, how does that happen? use your head moron

[kujay]

Haha, nice thread title change already.

 

I hope that Daywalker gets lost on the way back to Chicago.

haha daywalker. i was hoping there was a way i could make fun of his complexion

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Campbell took a risk. That's who he is. I wish he didn't have the huge contract he does, but as long as he's on your team, you are going to have some very nice plays for goals and some awful ones to give up goals. He's the Patrick Kane of defensemen.

I mean... what do you think is going to happen when not only is the team your facign is better but you also have the league against you.... may as well just tell the truth now.

Kane dogging it back up the ice on the last play should be pointed out too. At least Brouwer was trying to get back.

Yeah, I just noticed that on a replay. It should have been a 2-on-1 at worst.

Except he's not nearly as productive. He leads a lot of nice rushes, but sure doesn't score much.

I'm a complete noob when it comes to hockey but shouldn't a defenseman be able to play defense better than he plays offense?

But, like you said, that's who Kane is.

sounds like one of my Sabres message boards

 

you're not playing Crosby just yet

lol sure he is.

 

that was not a risk, it was a stupid ass play. there were 3 guys right in his face.

 

the funny thing is that if he didn't have his standard blowout (seriously, is there a skater who has them more frequently than brian campbell?) he still probably would have been able to get back and prevent the 3rd skater from scoring

Yeah. There are offensive defensemen, but they usually only get away with it when they are actually solid on the blue line as well. Campbell is questionable at best in his own zone.

 

I can't believe this [expletive]. I'm not even going to be excited for Friday now. I know the series isn't over, but I don't know. Sure seems like it is.

 

This time Friday night I'll probably be saying "it was a great year, young team, got farther than we thought." That sort of crap.

[UMFan83]

I think we'll take game 3 and lose the rest. Of course that's what I said before the series. So far, so good unfortunately :(

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Top 10 in points among defensemen. Set up the gamewinner by knowing not to shoot when there was no lane.

The refs aren't on my hit list going away from this game. Once it went to OT it was a blank slate.

 

Besides, I think the Brian Campbell lynch mob has taken the attention off the refs for everyone but Cyno. And it's well deserved.

Campbell's idea of defense is to skate it by three guys and down to the other end of the ice so you aren't on defense anymore.

No it's over... only chance we had was to steal one in Detorit which we had a damn good chance TWICE and even a better chance secondly...

 

Be positive all you want... I'm not wasting my time on it.

[kujay]

Need to make note to self to turn off Versus immediately after the hockey games. This Iseman guy is a very unfunny douche.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

But, like you said, that's who Kane is.

 

Yep. That's who the Blackhawks are as a team.

 

My biggest problem with the game tonight is 38 shots, 2 goals. A team built around offensive talent like the Hawks are has to do better than that.

[UMFan83]

Anyone else wish that Anaheim had won Game 7? This series was doomed from the start.

 

This series is starting to remind me of the 95 Conference Finals against Detroit. A bunch of close games that go to the Wings.

And who blew the best scoring chance early on? Yup, our fav ginger.
