2014 Defending SC Champion Blackhawks playoff thread

why oh why did Columbus trade Gaborik? FML

Sad. But, it's really tough to repeat

[kujay]

Have to give the Kings credit. Games turn on taking advantage of chances and breaks. That's what they are doing.

It is. Just sucks because we seemed to be rolling. Up 1-0, up 2-0 and outplaying the Kings we'll into the 2nd period in game 2 and then all the sudden the Kings flipped the switch and have out scored the Hawks 12-3 in the last 4.5 periods. Pure domination.

[Soul]

Kings are a damn good team, not beating us dirty or anything. We're just getting beat, I'm beginning to just accept it now

Hawks have done that so well too the last 2 years

Exactly. But not now. And let's face it, Crawford has been mediocre at best in this series. He was great the first two series, but Quick is pantsing him badly in this series.

The switch could always flip back to us.

[kujay]

The switch could always flip back to us.

 

It's definitely our turn.

[UMFan83]

Kujay, time to go on a "bench Kane" rant. Right now.

The thought had crossed my mind.

[UMFan83]

kings PP. 3-0 soon?

[kujay]

I have no clue what this penalty is, but I'll bet it's bull.

[kujay]

Okay, no that's legit. They'll score shortly.

[UMFan83]

Yesterday was the 1 year anniversary of the Hawks comeback starting against the Wings. Not sure why I'm pointing that out other than the fact that the Hawks are dangerously close to being in the same situation.

[kujay]

Pull Crawford. Now.

[UMFan83]

Wow. Every PK is a goal. Every PP is scoreless.

 

This is complete domination. Raanta please

[UMFan83]

12 goals allowed in last 5 periods for Crawford.

[Butterscup1679666578]

its so [expletive] easy for them

[kujay]

I'm shocked he's still out there. I guess let him play out this period and then make the change.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Last year the defending champs played the Hawks and only won their first home game in a 5 game series

 

This year the defending champs play the kings and....

 

Last year we won game 1 against Detroit and looked like we might roll over them. Then we lost the next three. And ....

[kujay]

We're talking about a dynasty. The fuckin Kings have as much claim as we do right now.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

We're talking about a dynasty. The [expletive] Kings have as much claim as we do right now.

 

 

Oh, poor us, we may have to settle for two championships in five years. Woe, woe, woe.

I'm not whining at all.

[UMFan83]

Hmm. kings have been the comeback kids this playoffs coming back from 0-3 and 2-3. Wouldn't it be great to see their season end by blowing a 3-1 lead? I'm grasping for straws here...
