hawks look completely gassed. I'm not very optimistic about the series at this point.

Sharp simply can't miss on that break. All he has to do is elevate slightly. He just blew it.

The moves Bowman made this year all appear to be busts. Well who knows with Regin since he doesn't even play.

i don't really have any problems with the roster. i just think they're kind of running out of steam, which could have been expected. i think they still win the series, but it kind of feels like a tossup now. they need to summon the magic on sunday.

[UMFan83]

We're fine. We will win at home on Sunday and have 2 chances to finish them off. How many times have the Hawks been on the ropes and risen to the occasion the last 2 years?

 

I want to point and say I told you so to the people who were predicting sweep after game 2, or talking about how bored they were waiting for the next series to start.

These idiot fans are [expletive] pissing me off I'd expect better from MN.

 

Hawks fans still do Chelsea Dagger....hard to complain about other teams fans too much ;)

I'm actually a fair bit concerned now. Yes, we've got home ice and I expected the Hawks to lose a game up there. But I didn't expect to see them get plastered on shots, and then see the Wild's goaltending somehow look competent as a result.

 

I don't like seeing them sleepwalk through perfectly good playoff games, and I don't like them giving a downtrodden goalie confidence. Hawks just did both of those things.

In the past I think the Hawks have won games in the playoffs where they were not that great, but their high level of skill scored some goals, Crawford was great and they ended up winning. There was probably a couple of games in the Blues series like that. Not that they were dominated, just not great. That has not happened in this series yet.

Hearing for Bollig. Ballard will not play tomorrow. No hearing for Spurgeon. Kruger seems fine.

 

That's why handing out punishment based on outcome is stupid. Spurgeon's hit was much worse and with much clearer intent to injure.

[kujay]

Two games for Bollig. Whatever.

[Soul]

Hawks should appeal the suspension to get it increased.

that was just kyle being an apple-faced goon.

 

past history suggest the hawks will show up tomorrow, but i'm kind of worried that we're overdue for a heartbreaking game 5 loss. i really just want to get by minnesota. i could live with a loss to LA or anaheim, but getting knocked out by bryzgalov would be hard to swallow.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I'm still bored with this series. We're going to crush them.

It's still horse [expletive]. It wasn't that bad of a hit. And up against Spurgeon's assault on Kruger this suspension is laughable.

We better. I'm getting sick of watching my teams lose. And once the Hawks are gone, the black hole known as Cubs baseball is going to take full force.

 

I'm not ready yet.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I hope we have Duncan Keith back tonight and not whoever that spaz was in his uniform in game 4.

And he turns it over throwing an outlet pass right to the Wild in the first four seconds.

 

OK, now I'm worried.

[Butterscup1679666578]

[expletive] kidding me

[kujay]

Did Honda just announce "one minute left in the penalty?"

 

I have never heard that before.

[kujay]

Yeah now he said 30 seconds left.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

When we stop running into each other every third shift, Minnesota is in trouble.

[kujay]

Gotta give MN credit they play a tight defensive game. But that doesn't excuse this lethargy from the Hawks.

[rawaction]

Uh what channel is the game on?
