2014 Defending SC Champion Blackhawks playoff thread

Stick hits his hands and he goes flying.

ah well

Least upsetting playoff loss in the Q era.

 

Of course, last time I was close to this unconcerned was when we were up 1-0 on Detroit.

I think the Wild are better than you are giving them credit for. They really outplayed Colorado for a lot of their first series and were very strong down the stretch. In the end the Hawks have too much talent for them, but if the breaks go the wrong way for the Hawks this series could be lost.

 

On a side note, I understand getting Brookbank a game and it is not like Leddy is tearing it up. But how is Versteeg still getting ice time?

I'd still like to know why he was brought back in the first place. This organization has a weird affinity for him.

[Brian707]

I can't remember if they won the first road game in the first Vancouver series.

 

 

They lost that game. The Hawks fell behind 3-0 in the third period only to tie it late, but Vancouver got the winner near the end of regulation. It was then that I knew that the Canucks would never win a Cup.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I mean, the Wild aren't terrible. They deserve to be down 2-1 and not 3-0.

 

But they don't look remotely capable to me of winning 3 out of 4 against the Blackhawks, other than in the sense that this is hockey and anything can happen if you get enough puck luck.

Why isn't Bollig still in the press box? Regin and Morin should be playing instead of Bollig and Nordstrom. But I will trust Q.

 

Yesterday's game pissed me off, but the Hawks took the Wild's best punch and if not for a couple of bad bounces the Hawks could have been up 2-0 after two. Keith on the powerplay in period one nearly missed. I still think the Hawks close it out in 5. Even if they lose Friday I wont get too worried.

I thought Nordstrom had been pretty good...till last night. But none of the hawks, maybe except for Hossa were very good last night.

Goes both ways...Wild could have easily had a penalty shot in the first that was not even called a penalty. I think it will probably be 5 or 6, depends on Fridays outcome

But how is Versteeg still getting ice time?

 

I thought Versteeg played pretty well in the St. Louis series, but he's been extremely insignificant so far in this Minnesota series.

He had one good shift in Game 3. He's just lost right now. Not saying he's ever a huge impact player, but he has a role if he's right. He's just not right. It happens. Look at Moulson on the other side. He's way more highly regarded and been nearly as useless.

 

Cooke is apparently drawing back in tonight. I'd imagine he will mind his manners.

#Blackhawks forward Andrew Shaw will not play in Game 4 vs. Wild.

[Flames24Rulz]

Leddy's going to be back in the lineup tomorrow.

[Brian707]

Sunday's game 5 will be at night, exact time TBD.

 

Translation: If Cindy and the Pens eliminate Rangers on Friday, Hawks Wild will be at 6pm, If they don't Hawks will probably be on at 830PM.

Great, the only game I thought I'd be able to watch while I'm in Germany. I guess if its at 6 (1 am germany) I can still watch Game 5 but would have been a lot more convenient

[kujay]

Cooke caused that goal. Someone kill him.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Still not worried.

[Butterscup1679666578]

look like [expletive] again so far

I actually think the Blackhawks look good. The Wild just look better. That being said, the Hawks will be fine as long as they keep peppering Bryz.

[Butterscup1679666578]

someone tell Keith the game started

[kujay]

Keith what the [expletive]!

[dcvalpo]

Keith has got to stop being so sloppy with the puck..,killing us!

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Bickell and someone flying into each other on the power play, Seabrook falling down just now.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

lololol, fire drill period and we're still going to come out tied.

[kujay]

There's the Bryz we know and love.
