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

[Wilson A2000]

Niemi is average at best. A goalie is the most important position in the NHL, akin to a QB in football. And you can't win a championship with an average goalie unless you have a world class defense. Bowman was on the Score last week and said he was totally comfortable with Niemi and never was tempted to trade for a goalie. Now he might have wasted a great season.

 

FAIL.

 

Putting this on Neimi is wrong.

 

I'm putting this on Bowman.

rinne is cujo-ing us

[Hall7810]

Need to put on in the back of the net before the period expires.

Because you are blaming him for not getting someone to play in net! Which means you are blaming Niemi!

 

Otherwise, what the sam [expletive] are you talking about????

[17 Seconds]

is it reasonable to question if the olympics are a big reason for our struggles? our key guys just don't have the same intensity they had before the break. even toews.

 

with all the hype and pressure surrounding team canada, you gotta wonder if that was their stanley cup and they're kind of burned out at this point.

 

obviously just speculation and there's no way to tell, but it's possible. the sharks also had a ton of guys in the olympics and it's been the same thing with them.... although they always choke.

Yes. And not just us. All the top teams.

I am watching the game. Niemi is average and a great goalie picks up the defense when they fail. I am not going to blame Niemi for being what he is - an average goalie at best.

not sure what that has to do with it. i never said the olympics made them a bad team

He picked them up about ten times already! You can't expect him to do it every time.

just not sure why you're talking about niemi when he has literally been the least of our concerns in these 3 games. he has been like the only guy to actually show up. if not for him, we may not even have a win.

good for nashville

[kujay]

good for nashville

 

Huh?

[E.J.]

The Hawks just owned that last 3 minutes. Too bad they finally decided to wake up already down 2 with a period to go.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Scoring goals at a 1.5 per game pace.

 

Blaming the goalie for being nearly down 2-1.

 

Awesome.

[UMFan83]

good for nashville

 

Huh?

 

They are such a long suffering sports city. They deserve to hand stupid Chicago another humiliating defeat.

We did a pretty good number on Vancouver and Calgary, to be fair.

I guess. I just have no respect whatsoever for their hockey culture. Those fans don't deserve [expletive].

I was definitely being sarcastic. They don't deserve [expletive].

[kujay]

This is going to be the most boring period of hockey we've seen in a long time if Nashville has their way.
