edit: finally!

[Derwood]

Damn, great pressure

[kujay]

Yeah. Just yeah.

[UMFan83]

I LOVE HOCKEY!!!

 

Time to hold on tight.

 

I was going to say I couldn't believe we didn't score

[UMFan83]

This is going to be a nauseating last 3 mins

[UMFan83]

These refs are morons

[sweetpeteman]

These refs should have to drink riverwater.

[Careless]

oh my god

[UMFan83]

SO CLOSE

[bcl412]

The belief I have in the Blackhawks to pull through is pretty ridiculous.

[UMFan83]

HANDSHAKES!!!

The belief I have in the Blackhawks to pull through is pretty ridiculous.

 

I know right? Amazing. Will never take this for granted as long as it lasts.

[bcl412]

Ho hum, another series win.

[kujay]

Excellent. That's how playoff veterans do.

[bukie]

Goals tonight by Toews, Sharp, Kane, and Keith.

Also, credit to the D, the Blackhawks gave up 12 shots in the first 11 minutes on Darling, and then 13 shots in the remaining 49 minutes on Crawford.

[kujay]

Yeah much like Game 1 when Crow got benched, they clamped down and tonight Crow wasn't challenged much at all.

[UMFan83]

Hawks are 9-0 in Game 6's with a chance to clinch under Q.

 

The only game 7s we've had were games where we came back to tie a series

[UMFan83]

So do we cheer for home ice against Minnesota, or cheer for the Blues because you know they will choke eventually so it might as well be against the Hawks?

 

I think all things equal we have a better shot against Minnesota but they would be super super motivated to beat us after losing to us 2 years in a row. I don't have stats handy but I'm sure it's hard to beat a team 3 years in a row in the playoffs

[bukie]

I don't think motivation is going to be a problem for either opponent.

^ true

 

Reading the Predators blog, one guy said something like oh well they are old we will pay them back eventually

 

Err I'm pretty sure most of our core save Hossa is 30 or younger. We will take a step back with cap issues but when you have 2 of the best ~5-6 players in the league and they are both 26, the Hawks are going to be relevant for awhile

Fans being reactionary assholes in a game thread just after a game? That's so rare.

Oh come on you know it's my thing.

 

And I'm gloating about how awesome we are and how sustained our success will be. You should appreciate that.

[bukie]

I mean, I'm rooting for the Wild because then the only two teams that reasonably were hanging with the Hawks all season would be eliminated already.
