2014-2015 STANLEY CUP CHAMPION CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS

[Guest]

he's pretty good in new girl, but those mcdonalds commercials are truly awful

I think most of the fans that think this series will be easy for the Hawks are holding on to the outdated belief that the Western Conference is superior. I don't think that was the case this season.

I haven't read a lot of the post game stuff...was it explained why Bishop left the game, came back in and left again? Injury that threatens to keep him out?

I think he tweaked a knee. Lot of video evidence shown on the Canadian broadcast indicating he was struggling with it throughout the 3rd period.

 

I do think there's a real possibility it sidelines him for multiple games or even the rest of the series. Having said that, I don't like Tampa should be too concerned. Their backup is widely considered the best goalie prospect in the league, it's not like last year when Bishop's injury destroyed their chances.

This is just typical Chi-town stuff. Lots of fans who pop off without even looking at the most basic info.

Yeah, Vasy is an elite talent and a future Top 5 goalie in the league. And I feel that even as a rookie he's as good (or better) than a less than 100% Bishop, so really no worries from this end.

hopefully this shuts up the obnoxious hawks fans who acted like we were some huge favorite. tb is the best team they've faced in the playoffs, and this series is a toss up

 

 

No TB is not the best team they have faced. Ducks were better. Hawks got the split in Tampa, and if the Hawks take care of home ice, the Cup will be in the building down in Tampa on Saturday.

On the other hand, people tend to overreact to one loss on the road in a game 2 that the home team had to win.

Yep. I'm still wildly overconfident.

Stanley Cup Finals haven't been swept in a long time. Nothing unusual about the home team winning game 2 after losing game 1.

 

If The Bishop can't go, that could have a ripple effect that takes the aggressiveness out of their skaters who will need to protect their back up that's now in net. We've seen what happens when they go in a shell. On the other hand, now the Hawks have to solve a new goalie. I felt like they had solved Bishop.

Bishop has been in goal in their morning skate

So...Bickell had vertigo. He's better now, and it looks like he'll play in place of Versteeg.

 

TVR is also likely to play.

That vertigo is horrible, had it for the first time earlier this year.

 

Great news on TVR, hopefully he'll be up to speed. Can't imagine he is worse than Rundblad or Cumiskey.

Right...nothing to lose there.

Wake the [expletive] up

[UMFan83]

This is like the start of game 1 all over again

[UMFan83]

Jesus Christ Crawford

[Soul]

What a joke

[Butterscup1679666578]

brutal

[UMFan83]

Hawks always seem to wake up when they are on the ropes.

[Soul]

I'm not sure what percentage of the blame goes to Craw vs the change.

[Soul]

Unreal

[Butterscup1679666578]

marian. dude.

[kujay]

That was a penalty worth taking for TB.

 

Wtf evening that up.
