but honestly, there goes the cup, there goes the [expletive] cup. 50 [expletive] years and still we can't win a [expletive] cup

 

this team is better than we are, much better. they're tougher, they actually can control the puck in their own zone, they're bigger and they hit harder and they get more shots on goal.

 

we cannot win this series, absolutely cannot win this series. we're getting smothered by a better team

 

Hahahahah. You're priceless man.

 

The Hawks and their temerity to lose a game in the playoffs after winning 7 straight. WHERE'S THE JUSTICE

 

seems like we've had to win a million games in a row and still we're not going to win the cup, it sucks to sweat through a bunch of tough games and still know that our opponent has the advantage.

Seriously normally I laugh this stuff off but I can't handle reading that the series is over after 3 games, 2 of which we won. I know how we've looked. I'm really disapointed, but this series isn't over. I am very worried though. If I was on a deserted island all season, and finally started watching from game 1 and had no idea how the teams got that, I would definitely think the Flyers were the better team.

If I told you after game 5 of the Vancouver series that the Hawks would win 7 straight before losing how many of you would've taken that deal right then?

 

Y'all should relax.

Chill the hell out. They still have to win 3/4 against a superior team. We played by far our worst game and they needed OT to win it at home. And they're living off their power play which won't last an entire series.

i think we're more concerned that we're not outplaying the flyers when we should be.

I can't believe how many people thought the Hawks would never lose again in the playoffs. It's not a one game series here, folks.

so the Flyers are going to win 3 of the next 4 games? REALLY?

 

we're being overly negative, sure... but why do you act like that would be so crazy? these 2 teams are even right now. the flyers could easily win 3 of 4

Maybe if we asked nicely the Flyers would trade positions with us. I mean you'd be down 2-1 but at least you've played prettier hockey!

Anti-jinx or not, I have no idea what you're talking about.

this wasn't their worst game of the series. it was their best probably.

 

and right now, the hawks are not superior. these teams have played evenly for 3 games now.

and the hawks have won twice, so you should be thrilled that they have the lead in such an evenly contested series

Our last road loss was a 3 goal loss to the Preds and they looked worse in that game then they did tonight I thought. Hopefully they follow this one up with a nice 3-0 win again.

Seriously, there was a lot to like in that game. The sky isn't falling. If they stop taking stupid penalties, the Hawks win. Two posts in period one.

 

We've gotten outshot by 5+ shots every game this series, we haven't scored a power play goal in the entire series, we've given up 3-4 PPGs this series, we got manhandled in the faceoff zone to pathetic levels. The first 2 goals we scored in the game weren't exactly good looks. In fact, from my view of the game, we didn't get very many good looks all night, with a few notable instances. The Flyers are manhandling us in the crease. Leighton is giving up huge rebounds, and we cannot get our stick on them at all.

 

On the plus side, we did control the pace a good deal of the game, Niemi looked pretty good again (but he needed to). Hossa was good enough. I don't have much problem with the top defensive line (Keith and Seabrook), but the rest of the bunch were horrible. Hendry had his worst game of the series, and that says a lot because he's awful. The Flyers consistantly have a man just sitting near the crease in the Hawks zone, and many times the Flyers have centered the puck right to that guy. I haven't seen our guys protecting that crease very much at all. It hasn't burned us too much yet but it will if it keeps happening.

 

I dunno maybe it's because we lost but I don't see a lot to like about tonights game, other than the fact that it was going to be the toughest game of the series and we hung in there on the road.

why would i be thrilled that the hawks are playing poorly and letting a team that should be worse play evenly with them?

You think this was the Hawks best game of the series? We aren't watching the same games then. It was the Flyers best game and the Hawks worst. You could say defensively they played worse in game 1 but overall tonight was the worst in my opinion. And it still took OT to lose on the road.

 

Yes on talent level and in the net the Hawks are the superior team. They need to go 2-2 over the last 4 with 2 of them at home.

because despite playing poorly, they're leading the series. if they play as well as they should be playing, they'll win the series easily

did you not watch game 1 at all? i mean, seriously.

Because the odds of that continuing are most decidedly not in the Flyers' favor?

yes but the series is almost half over now, and we still haven't played that way.
