Chicago Blackhawks 2012 Playoffs

[kujay]

Terrible.

[Captain Serious]

Lepisto done now? Running out of d-men.

[UMFan83]

Just when you think they turned the corner they come up with a stinker like this. Not that I expected to beat the Blues in STL, but they have looked pretty bad tonight.

[17 Seconds]

i don't believe this team has the personnel to turn any kind of corner. for this season,i think they are what they are: a low seed team that doesn't have the defense or goaltending to go deep in the playoffs.

Lepisto out indefinitely per Q, toews progressing. Took a step by skating today. No real timetable

Good to see Toews is at least back to skating.

[kujay]

Just got home. Turned on game. Two quick goals. Nice.

[UMFan83]

Great win tonight. Were down 2-1 until 7 minutes left in the 3rd when they scored 2 goals within 90 seconds, and then added an EN goal to seal it.

 

At least we know if the Hawks somehow made the Finals and faced the Rangers, we'd have the mental edge over them :)

[UMFan83]

LOL that was awesome, Bollig got into a fight with Clifford and was smiling the entire time as he got quite a few good shots on the opponent. That makes me like him.

[kujay]

He did the same thing on Friday. The guy has a screw loose I think.

 

Reminded me of Emery's fight a few years ago with Biron and then Peters. Had a giant smile while Peters was pummeling him.

[kujay]

Can't fault the effort tonight. They're really crashing, especially Bolland and Seabrook. Shaw too.

[Flames24Rulz]

Bollig's a complete waste of a roster spot, so I really can't find any way to like the guy.

[Flames24Rulz]

Holy [expletive], a goal against the Kings!

 

That's the first goal against LA in about 180 minutes of ice time.

[Magnetic Curses]

those [expletive] gave up that goal very begrudgingly, the whole team was in the net there.

I disagree. He's not a bad skater.

 

That play by Doughty would be up for play of the year if Kruger hadn't buried the follow up.

[kujay]

What the [expletive] was Leddy doing on that one? Terrible. Feel bad for Emery tonight. Both goals he was left to deal with a shooter alone in his face.

[Flames24Rulz]

Duncan Keith just isn't very good.

[kujay]

Well this game got interesting. Damn Stalberg is fast.

[UMFan83]

Terrible time to take a penalty Stalberg. Gotta earn this point

[UMFan83]

Well the good news is that LA can only gain 1 point on us tonight. The bad news is that we can only earn 1 point of separation from LA tonight.

The best news is they finally scored on LA. You're a glass-half-empty guy, I'm just thrilled the glass finally has something in it.

I don't care about LA. If they pass us, we aren't making the playoffs anyway. Let's get this extra point though.

[UMFan83]

You don't deserve to win if you go 0-7 in penalty shots in the game (including Stalberg's penalty shot)

 

Hawks had 3 chances to end it with a score and didnt. Fairly disappointing to lose that way after a pretty good effort in the 3rd and OT.

 

Also, a lot of the Hawks shot attempts were terrible. I dont know wtf Hossa and Kane were trying to do. Shaw had the least deceptive penalty shot I've ever seen. Sharp had a great attempt and it slid off his stick. Boo

[kujay]

Can't believe Emery stopped as many of those as he did.

same here...he looked out of position on quite a few of those attempts.
