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

The Sharks are still way too good for me too feel comfy. I would love for us to get an early goal.

i wonder how many famous athletes have banged down charissa

 

In unfortunate news, kujay is not a famous athlete.

Great job.

 

Just a random thought -- how eminently expendable was Tomas Kopecky?

 

Apparently very since he's been a healthy scratch all series. I thought he was turning the corner. Do the matchups just not mesh well with him this series?

 

That's my point. I haven't missed him one bit. But mostly because guys like Ladd and Brouwer have really picked it up.

 

He plays well in spurts. I don't think it's that he didn't mesh well. I think he was first scratched in the Vancouver series when Q was trying to shake things up, and since then they have played so well there was no reason to change anything.

 

He seems to lose his composure rather quickly too

That's the biggest problem with him. He's rarely a physical player, and you need that from 3rd and 4th line wingers. And when he does do it, he's dumb about it.

If this were the Cubs, we'd be getting really close to the perfect spot for a meltdown.

[kujay]

I didn't realize Toews had points in 11 straight games. I can see his name on the Conn Smythe now.

Must not. I thought he was pretty good in the Vancouver series. Maybe they really, really want Eager in this one?

 

i thought he had been surprisingly decent in the playoffs too

 

He was pretty good in the playoffs. But I have to admit, I didn't even notice that he was on the bench today.

Don't jinx this. But yeah, I've been thinking that lately too.

Kyle wrote, about the team he knows is more similar in history to the Cubs than any other

[Careless]

There's no other sport where the physical presence of the refs makes a third as much difference, is there?

[kujay]

Wow, Brouwer had that one ready to fire. This is the way to do it. Uneventful hockey.

[Careless]

wow, top of the stick

[kujay]

SJ can't even get into the zone right now. Great defensive effort by the forwards.

[Careless]

that was awesome

[kujay]

HAMMER!

[Hall7810]

HAMMER!!!

[Butterscup1679666578]

ballgame.

[17 Seconds]

theres hossa! what a play

[Burtonbell]

Yeah BABY!

[UMFan83]

GOOOAAAALL!!!!!!!!!!

 

That makes my sphincter loosen a bit :)

[kujay]

Hossa ripped that dude off. He didn't even realize his wallet was gone.

[17 Seconds]

still not over. san jose can put up goals in a hurry. don't let up. can't let up.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I'd be so mad about that goal if I were a Sharks fan. Dirty by Brouwer.

[Flames24Rulz]

Hossa's been very quiet in terms of lighting the lamp, but his facilitating and his defense have been exceptional throughout the playoffs.

 

We've really come out strong here in the 3rd.

[kujay]

still not over. san jose can put up goals in a hurry. don't let up. can't let up.

 

That last shift they looked like they had given up just like Vancouver did when we went up 4-1. But I agree, they have one more push in them.
