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

Who else just loves when the Hendry/Sopel pairing is on the ice at the same time as the 4th line?

[UMFan83]

They are really coming on strong to end this period. Please hang on to this 2 goal lead.

[Hall7810]

I feel my blood pressure rise when Hendry hops the boards.

[kujay]

No doubt, since that PP goal, the momentum has shifted again. Just survive this period and then go in and focus on putting this one away in the 3rd.

Yuck.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Get the puck deep, fourth line. Dont' get cute at their blue line.

I definitely think the momentum should go back to us if we can get to the intermission with a 2 goal lead.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I really don't want the Blackhawks to sit on this lead. Got to keep the pressure on. Play 10 minutes in their zone in the third period, not 15 minutes in ours.

Did a Hawk just dive head first over the boards to avoid a too many men panelty?

Yes. It was amusing.

[Hall7810]

Good recovery by the Hawks.

i thought i saw that too.

 

 

ok, not bad. finish this bad boy off.

[UMFan83]

Similar to what I said after the first period, I'll take a 2 goal lead going into the 3rd.

[kujay]

Great job.

 

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

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I really like how the Blackhawks are playing defensively. Smart, simple, getting the puck out.

[Burtonbell]

This has been a tight game so far, the Hawks look like they slacked off after they scored that third goal. They need to come out with some better play and seal this one early.

thank god

[UMFan83]

Great job.

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?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Sharks still don't have an even-strength goal *knock on wood*. Stay out of the box in the third, stay defensively responsible and play simple, smart hockey.

they didn't slack off, san jose just fed off the momentum.

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

i wonder how many famous athletes have banged down charissa

[kujay]

Great job.

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.

i thought he had been surprisingly decent in the playoffs too
