Stanley Cup Champion Chicago Blackhawks Thread!!!!!!

Why is it always teams with fan bases who don't even care about that team? Seriously, there shouldn't even be a team in Nashville for God's sake.

 

This. If you can't sell out a playoff game, you should have your team taken away.

i don't even think the Wings sold out their game last night; it surely didn't look like it

 

probably not. Wings have had some serious issues with not selling out the last few years. I dont think its apathy as much as it is just too frickin expensive in a city that is having huge economic issues

 

Detroit deserves a pass in my mind, they are one of the poorest cities in the country.

Yes, I agree, Detroit does deserve a pass. Not only are they in financial crisis, but the first round of the playoffs isn't such a big deal for them, and I appreciate that.

 

In other news, Sassone thinks Campbell will play tonight, though it does sound like nothing more than a hunch.

But listening to Campbell talk about his original timeline and how they are keeping with that means he's still at least 10 days away. Unless he's bullpooping, which this time of year is more likely than not.

There are cheap seats (well, as cheap as they get) available for Saturday's game. I just bet the farm that the Hawks will win tonight and bought a pair. If they lose I know I won't want to go, but what the hell.

[SouthSideRyan]

I feel like Campbell would give an emotional boost. At least to me if not the team.

Hawks need to punch back tonight or, perhaps, do the punching. There's been too much of the Predators pushing the Hawks around and them taking it. I don't believe one can say Pekka is hot ethier truth is, he hasn't had to do much, seen every shot, no traffic in front of the net. Let's see how hot he is when he cannot see every shot.

I don't know about that. Rinne has been pretty good. But I have come around 100% to putting Buff back in on forward and parking him in front of the net. Yes, Hendry and Sopel are bad, but we need Buff causing trouble for Rinne more.

The Hawks have been pretty easy on him though, it's hard to say he's hot.

And I thought I was nervous before Game 1...

[kujay]

Welcome back 51. Sorry for saying you suck so many times.

[kujay]

Holy cow Sopel.

 

Those are the same chances that they have missed on in every game so far. Dear lord.

[kujay]

OUTSTANDING! Nice start to the PP.

 

They are playing to a draw at even strength right now, but the energy level is obviously much higher. And Bickell and Burish are doing what they were put in there to do.

kopecky is pure trash

[kujay]

kopecky is pure trash

 

Yeah he did turn but it wasn't at the last second at Pat and Eddie are saying. Lucky it's only a two-minute penalty, that's for damn sure.

[kujay]

Oh [expletive].

[17 Seconds]

yea, we just handed them a goal.

 

"here, have a goal"

[Magnetic Curses]

we can't win

[17 Seconds]

i like bolland, but he shouldn't be on the roster right now.

[kujay]

I don't disagree.

 

Great PK there, and they were rewarded with a commutation. Sort of.

[SouthSideRyan]

HUGE KILL

[17 Seconds]

cant believe they got out of that

[17 Seconds]

HUGE KILL

[kujay]

Does Toews have a motor or what? Wow.

[17 Seconds]
