2014-2015 STANLEY CUP CHAMPION CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS

Give Crawford a raise

[UMFan83]

The Ducks remind me of the championship Hawks teams. They're just the better team.

 

Sure seems like it. Kings played like this last year as well but we took it to OT of game 7.

 

The difference is that I think our D is just too gassed. I would kill for Leddy/Rozival pairing.

 

This all goes back to Bowman "upgrading the defense" by trading for a 44 year old who hadn't played all year. It was a high risk medium reward move that blew up I'm his face and potentially cost him a championship.

good showing crawford

[UMFan83]

Well one more goal and you start playing Cuminsky and Timmonen heavy minutes and basically punt the rest of this game and take your chances at home in game 6

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

Well this game is a lost cause. I hope the Hawks show up in game 6 and then game 7.

Eh. Maaaaybe. I'm not willing to go that far yet, but they aren't as bad as I thought they were going into the series.

I'm thinking the same. Could be a blessing though being forced to win two straight against these dudes is no fun.

At least they get to pay Crawford more and can't afford better skaters

[RynoRules]

No one could rationally blame Craw for the score. He's the reason it isn't 6-0.

 

Its not just the 3rd pairing that needs to change, they need to get a new partner for Hammer and some help on the 3rd line. Shaw looks useless.

Crawford has been fine, guarantee you any goalie would be down at least 2 right now. The Blackhawks aren't playing well as a team, no reason to scapegoat one player.

If you pay a mediocre goalie $6m you can't afford better skaters. If your goalie can't do more than the rest do not pay him.

Teuvo time!

[cubbyvirus00]

So Vermette and TT show something this series.....when not scratched

[ARCubsFan]

Vermette and Teuvo with the last two goals. Q looking more idiotic by the minute.

[rawaction]

Not a hockey expert by any means, but I was hopeful the adjustment to all the pressure in our defensive zone would lead to long passes ahead for potential breakaways.

Q will say he motivated them

[kujay]

Always love when getting a PP kills the momentum.

Channeling the 2013 Hawks

[rawaction]

Really would have liked Toews to score before that.

[RynoRules]

What in fucks name was Saad doing at the end of that PP?! One time the [expletive] thing!!!!

[UMFan83]

It's a shame the Hawks [expletive] the bed in the first period, this is turning into a competitive game

[kujay]

Best I can tell Bickell is completely useless.

[UMFan83]

Toews is playing like a super human this period. Too bad the Hawks aren't ready for his passes

[Butterscup1679666578]

saw someone on twitter say bench bickell for versteeg and i cant even argue against it

[ARCubsFan]

Teuvo is the Hawks best player tonight
