Chicago Blackhawks 2012 Playoffs

[Banedon]

That's how bollig fights? My grandma could do better.

 

I'm a hockey moron. I don't understand why that fight happened. Both guys knew they eere gonna fight after ghe puck dropped? Hockey is stupid about that [expletive].

[kujay]

It has a purpose sometimes. There was no purpose there for Bollig.

[kujay]

Not to nitpick but how does Frolik miss the net by three feet from 12 feet out?

[E.J.]

Oduya is the [expletive] worst.

[PosterToBeNamedLater]

apparently nobody in phoenix has a real problem with the hit

 

Coyotes GM Don Maloney also chafed at the criticism Torres has received.

 

"You would think Raffi murdered a busload of children the way he's portrayed here in Chicago," Maloney told the Arizona Republic. "To me, it was part of a hockey play, and I'm not defending it. Obviously an offense occurred, but it was not a situation where he took his stick and hit someone in the head. Probably two hundredths of a second it went from being a regular hit to being a little late hit."

"I've seen a lot of other hits like it around the league; it's a fast game," Tippett said. "The thing about TV is you can slow it down and you can click it and click it and click it, but when you're out there on the ice it's not slowed down and click, click, click, it's a fast game.

 

"I don't think there was a malicious intent on Raffi's part. He's a hard hitter, that's the way he plays the game and he turned coming full speed, caught a guy right in the chest, and unfortunately the player was injured. I don't think there was a malicious intent like you see some of the crosschecks to the face or you saw [Keith's] elbow a few weeks ago on Sedin, there was no malicious intent like that."

Man I can't stand Tippett. Of course before game 3 he refers to Shaw's hit as a blatant hit to the head with no intent to miss the goalie. If you "slow it down" you can see that it was way more of an embellishment from Smith and that Shaw didn't go in there with some big intent to hurt Smith. Whereas when you slow down the Torres hit, you can tell exactly his intent.

Oduya is the [expletive] worst.

 

I keep cringing when I see him out there.

[kujay]

Not gonna say they just took our best punch, but very concerned they couldn't bury at least one of those chances.

[kujay]

How many obvious calls are they not going to make on PHX?

[UMFan83]

Of course the whistle blows before the puck goes in

[kujay]

How many different ways can the refs rape the Hawks?

 

Ok, please score on this PP.

[Magnetic Curses]

every single questionable calls and some not very questionable, have gone against us

[Magnetic Curses]

not our series

 

hopefully there's nothing long-term wrong with hoss, i guess i'll take that.

[E.J.]

[expletive] hell. Our power play is a joke.

[kujay]

Fuckin terrible.

[salukifudd]

How many PPs are we going to waste?

[UMFan83]

The only time I get excited for PP's anymore is when we have the lead because the benefit is 2 minutes where the other team probably won't score. Otherwise its just a waste of 2 minutes for both teams.

[Magnetic Curses]

there's just no way i see us scoring again in this series.

[kujay]

These pricks are just clogging up the neutral zone and we are playing right into it.

 

Not only are the Hawks sucking, it makes for a boring game.

[salukifudd]

They are going to score a [expletive] goal....soon.

[Smack]

These pricks are just clogging up the neutral zone and we are playing right into it.

 

Not only are the Hawks sucking, it makes for a boring game.

 

Agreed

[kujay]

67-29-36 has been the best line by far.

[kujay]

And damn Kruger almost finished that one.

[UMFan83]

standing on head

[UMFan83]

Son of a bitch.

 

I am shocked that a Blackhawks player turned the puck over in his defensive zone leading to a breakaway

[kujay]

That wasnt as bad as the trip on Bickell that wasn't called. [expletive].
