Chicago Blackhawks 2012 Playoffs

[kujay]

Well that was ugly. Great rush by Hossa to start it.

[Flames24Rulz]

That's how you're going to have to beat the Blues. Ugly goals.

[kujay]

We are dominating. Sharp is on fire tonight.

[kujay]

Hahahahahahahahaha nice.

[Butterscup1679666578]

that was the most beautiful thing i've seen the blackhawks do in awhile

[Butterscup1679666578]

this team is so dumb.

[kujay]

Dammit crow needs to be stronger there.

[kujay]

Oduya is a turnover machine.

 

Edit, and he caused the tying goal with a weak clearing attempt.

Yup just turned it over and caused the Blues to tie it with 1:30 left. Unacceptable.

[UMFan83]

That really sucks 3-1 lead with 10 minutes left and the Blues just dominated until they got 2 goals. The first never should have gotten by Crawford, and the 2nd shouldnt have happened if the Hawks can actually clear the puck successfully.

[kujay]

Nobody really thought Frolik would end it...

I have never seen Frolik do anything worthwhile.

40-20 SOG. Should not have left this one up to a coin flip.

Yup, same can be said about the game against NJ earlier in the week.

[kujay]

Stalberg before Hoss makes zero sense.

[Careless]

cripes

[kujay]

Excellent. That should lock up no worse than 6th.

[UMFan83]

Yay, we win the crapshoot. Hawks were 4-2-0 against mighty St. Louis this year.

[bukie]

It's not mathematically clinched yet, but there is no way for the Hawks to miss the playoffs now. San Jose/Dallas/LA/Phoenix play each other too much to have all four pass them.

[UMFan83]

Hawks have actually outshot their opponent in 9 straight games with the Hawks outshooting their opponents by 8+ SOG 7 of those games.

 

6-1-2 during those 9 games.

[UMFan83]

Also nice to prevent St. Louis from clinching the division on our home ice.

I'm wrong, the Phoenix/SJ game just has to end in regulation, then there's no way for all four teams to pass the Hawks.

[UMFan83]

Moot point for tonight as least as Phoenix dealt SJ another blow to their playoff hopes.

 

I'm traveling to Dallas for business next week and going to the Stars/Sharks game so I'm really hoping that SJ is still in the race at that point

Stalberg has been in beast mode for 20+ games now. Maybe the best game of his NHL career last night. He's earned himself new paper.

 

The 10-16-25 line has been phenomenal. Kruger does all of the little things very well. If he can add a bit more goal scoring flare to his game, he can be a very solid player for the long time.

 

I drool at the thought of 19 returning and our top 6 being 88-19-81 and 10-16-25. Watch out West.

I think they'll pair Toews with Sharp and Stalberg and keep the Kane-Hossa-Brunette line together.
