Chicago Blackhawks 2012 Playoffs

Funny how a couple of goals early in a period can give you some energy.

[kujay]

Wow some golden chances. Can't believe Sharp and Kane haven't buried these.

[bcl412]

There's been so many times this period where it looked like we'd have it tied for sure.

[kujay]

Hahahaha the only guy Scott would be able to chase down is Asham.

[UMFan83]

Wow 2 near disaster breakaways in 2 minutes.

 

Some sloppy hockey for the Hawks the last couple of minutes. Can't seem to get established in the zone. I hate when comebacks end 1 goal short.

[bcl412]

Just missed again.

I feel like we have couple of games like this each season. Go down a couple of goals come back to within 1 in 3rd. Get a ton of awesome chances but frustratingly nothing goes in.

 

Another post.

[UMFan83]

We should have like 3-4 goals in the last few minutes.

[kujay]

Another post for Stalberg...

 

Come on guys. One more.

[bcl412]

We need a goal to reward Seabrook for that block.

[E.J.]

Penalty! Alright guys, let's do this.

[kujay]

This is getting interesting. I'm not saying the refs missed anything, but I'm surprised they didn't get a PP before now.

[kujay]

Gotta get closer in than that before shooting. Dammit.

[bcl412]

Not looking good.

[E.J.]

Dammit. Too little too late.

[UMFan83]

Damn. At least they made it entertaining.

 

I hate when these games happen. So damn frustrating.

[kujay]

A for effort, I guess. At least gives some positive vibes going into tomorrow night's game.

[Old Style]

Frustrating end to that one.

In advance of the big O6 (who was it that gets annoyed by this?) matchup tonight, there's quite a ruckus being raised in Quebec right now because the new coach doesn't speak French. So much so that the GM had to come out and remind everyone that he's the interim coach. That's gotta make the guy feel good.

Seems sort of silly. This dude is going to get no benefit of the doubt.

[UMFan83]

LOL way to limit yourself to only potential coaches who can speak French. I mean I get that the French speaking media is probably bigger than the English speaking, and he's going to do press conferences, etc. but come on.

 

All that said, if the Cubs hired a manager that only spoke Spanish I guess I'd feel a little weird about it. I wouldn't try to drive him out of town but I'd prefer he spoke the national language, which is what Habs fans want.

 

But then countering that again from what I understand, a majority of people from Quebec, especially a city like Montreal speak English well even though everything there is written in French. If the majority of Chicagoans spoke Spanish, again it would be more understandable to have a spanish speaking manager.

Yeah, but if the Chicago Fire hired a spanish speaker, would you be upset?

 

They are the only french language city/team in the league. It's not like the Cubs. I wouldn't mind if the Chicago Sumo team manager only spoke Japanese.

[kujay]

I sort of wondered if Cornelison would sing part of O Canada in French tonight. Probably better he didn't, eh?

[UMFan83]

Crazy...I didn't realize the Hawks are playing 9 of the next 10 at home. In the next 23 days, the Blackhawks have to leave Chicago for 1 day (December 21 - January 13)

[kujay]

What a horrible call. I've been on a rampage about the refs lately, but that was truly terrible.

[E.J.]

These power plays for the Hawks have been brutal.
