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

[jaydee]

Vancouver's defense is making Luongo look incredible -- not that he's not playing well, because he is. But the Canuck defense is pretty *really* well.

 

Yah they play similar to Minnesota, except they have a lot more skill. It is very boring but effective for sure.

Luongo hasn't given up a single bad rebound. That's a subtle skill.

If the Hawks played this way I'm sure I'd love it... but they don't, they are actually good (unlike Vancouver). So I have to hate it...

Keith is not having a good game. We can't do anything in this series without him on top of things.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

He had gotten rid of the puck several seconds before. If that happened on the Hawks, Cyno would have blown an eyeball.

 

 

Fresh legs are a big reason why Vancouver is going to make them look bad this series.

[Cynosure]

LOL @ McReRe AGAIN.

 

Seriously... is your eyesight THAT BAD?

 

And yes I am complaining about a whistle in the Hawks end.

[Cynosure]

Punch to Havlat not called.

 

I realllllly hope Burish/Byf start something tonight.

Fresh legs and textbook interference.

Well, right now the high sticks probably need to be on the list, but those will probably stop.

 

Our inability to create chances because we can't put our scoring lines on the ice will.

[brinoch]

That's because we've been shorthanded.

[Cynosure]

Still two to play in Chicago before I get super pissed.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

That's because we've been shorthanded.

 

Not only then. Even at regular strength, Toews and Kane are seeing a serious reduction in ice time.

[kujay]

Just need to get one of these out in Vancouver. No time for panic yet.

It's not about wins and losses right now. You may recall I was one of the few not panicking after we lost the two in Calgary.

 

Vancouver is a bad matchup for us, a much better team than Calgary, and they have (yes, I'll say it again) fresh legs.

Agreed.

[Cynosure]

[expletive] YEA@!!!!

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Was that the Flying V?

[kujay]

That's a start, eh?

[Cynosure]

HAWKS GOAL

 

3 - 1:01 - Kane scores (3), assisted by Havlat (4) and Keith (1).

 

Canucks lead 3-1.

[brinoch]

Carried into the zone. Not dumped in.

[Cynosure]

WOW How did they miss that for 3-2!!!

 

GOD DAMMIT!!!

[kujay]

This has almost a one-goal game right there. Keep the pressure up. Win or lose, don't let these guys get comfortable.

[Magnetic Curses]

pardon my ignorance, but is vancouver paying homage to the old whalers with those uniforms?

I don't know if this uni has some place in their history, but they've been wearing it for a few years.

 

For my money, they need to go back to the black uni with that terrible two-tone logo.

[Cynosure]

If the Hawks score before the 10 minute mark I'll be optimistic.
