2014-2015 STANLEY CUP CHAMPION CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS

They knew that had a baller as soon as they drafted TT.

 

Was he the one that inexplicably dropped because of supposed motivation issues or was that Saad?

Hang on. Or score again.

Man TT and Crawford are winning this game

i dont know much hockey but wtf did tampa attempt only one shot so far this whole period? on that breakaway?

[Derwood]

Well alright

Yeah they were in a defensive shell though. Should have had more than 1 shot though

[kujay]

That's a little bit of pant-[expletive] by Cooper to fall back like it seems they did so early.

This is why I think the offseason gutting is a little overblown. Teuvo has outplayed sharp in the playoffs and has gotten better as they've gone on

Depends on who they get rid of. Don't know what Sharp's value is anymore but if they get anything for him, it's a success. Same with Bickell. Those two I wouldn't mind losing at all.

Stealing games is fun!

Stole that game. I'll take it.

[UMFan83]

There we go! Win Saturday and the rest of the series will be a victory lap

[Derwood]

Fun way to start the series

That turned fun quickly

[kujay]

Stepped on their dicks. That counts for more than just a win.

Stole? Nah I think we outplayed them the last 45 mins. Not by a ton but enough.

The last sell off the sold high in many ways. Particularly with Bickell they'd be selling low. Will be interesting to see what they do this offseason. But I'll worry about it more in a coupe weeks.

like i said i need this one done in 5 max so that's a great start

yeah that would seem an incredibly frustrating way to lose game one at home

[UMFan83]

At least someone is :)

Certainly felt like a young team who is learning to close against an experienced champion sort of game. Don't know if the loss was mental or not but damn did the Lightning get tentative. They didn't even have that great of a desperation rush at the end. Please win on Saturday.

Right. That was a different scenario where the core was all in their early to mid 20s. Now they are in their mid to late 20s to early 30s. I think at this point you can take some more long term risks by doing salary dumps
