Chicago Blackhawks 2012 Playoffs

[seanimal]

it's conceivable that keith could sit the rest of the season. i thought his hearing was at one, but nothing has been announced yet.

[Captain Serious]

5 games it is. He'll be refreshed for the playoffs after all the mins he logs.

[kujay]

Yeah, whatever.

 

But the mention of retaliation as an aggravating factor still makes no sense to me. [expletive] deserved it. Shouldn't increase the punishment.

[brinoch]

5 games is fair. I think Sedin should have been fined for his hit on Keith, but that's totally unrelated to the suspension for Keith. LIkewise, I think Doan got off lightly for his hit on Benn.

5 games is excessive for a first offense and the nonsense about retaliation defies explanation. I don't normally wish injury on any player but, like Carcillo, serves Sedin right if he really does have a concussion.

between this and his statements last year, duncan keith shouldn't even be an alternate captain at this point. toews is out and the blackhawks have 7 crucial games left. that's a stupid hit, and one he knew he'd get suspended for before he even did it.

Yeah, whatever.

because you can't argue that it was just a heat of the moment thing if it's payback. if it was caused by something else, then it's premeditated.

[Captain Serious]

It was a cheap shot. He deserved the 5 games & that is that.

[kujay]

The league reviewed Daniel's cheap shot, by the way, and deemed it "shoulder to shoulder." Wut?

it makes sense that girls are held to different standards when it comes to hitting

[UMFan83]

Preds and Wings both won tonight. Gotta find a way to beat Nashville, who has given us problems this year.

[Butterscup1679666578]

the wings won? i swear they were down 4-1 when i last saw

He did the team a favour, they need to lose a couple of these games to lock into the 6 seed.

[Smack]

This team looks like [expletive] almost every time I get to see them, including in person, this year.

[UMFan83]

Nashville completely owns the Hawks.

 

If this 3-0 score holds they will be 4-0-1 against the Hawks this year, outscoring them 18-9 in the process.

 

The only other team that can compete with Nashville for complete ownage of the Hawks is Edmonton.

[Flames24Rulz]

The good part about this game is that the Hawks chances for the 6 seed are obviously much better. That should be the goal now.

[UMFan83]

I don't think we're going to have a Neimi stepping up parallel this season.

[kujay]

Jesus. What a dud.

 

And now Crow gets pulled. Is it Emery's turn to win the job again?

[Soul]

Maybe just ask Craw if he plans to suck, before the game.

 

Be honest dude, you're thinking about sucking tonight aren't you.

[Captain Serious]

Uh the goals weren't his fault. Not sure what the hell you were watching.

[UMFan83]

I didn't watch the 3rd period but one of the 3 goals in the first 2 periods was completely his fault and shouldn't have gone in.

[Flames24Rulz]

Uh the goals weren't his fault. Not sure what the hell you were watching.

 

The last one that he gave up definitely was. Nothing like giving up a goal from right around the blue line.

[Captain Serious]

people thinking the Stars are a cake walk, think again.

 

Hawks PP keeps playing like garbage, they'll be one & done.

I don't understand how you don't get this. No one thinks the Stars are a cakewalk. They would rather play them then Nashville who completely owns the Hawks, or Detroit who are simply more talented than Dallas.
