As quoted by Toews. Games start tomorrow in St. Louis.

Thus explaining the annual March swoon.

He can actually kinda, sorta grow a beard now.

 

Playoff beards lose a lot of their mystique since a lot more players have beards all the time.

What is he thinking?

perhaps that was part of the plea agreement

I would think it would be the other way around.

Baby almost 6 week before due date. Hopefully everything is OK.

Pointless prediction: This is the "tough out in the first round" year between Cup wins.

I'd accept any result without complaint as long as the Hawks eliminate the Blues.

You realize that outcome doesn't result in the Hawks eliminating the Blues right?

I seriously think Hjalmarrson is the terminator. Nothing stops him. Nothing.

[Butterscup]

im so tired.

[17 Seconds]

hawks look superior even without keith. even if they lose tonight, i'm a lot more confident about this series now.

[kujay]

Man did we have to do this already?

[Butterscup]

so stupid

[bcl412]

That sucks but they always lose game 1 so whatever.

[kujay]

Figures. Should have won by then. Too many blown chances.

the blues are garbage. hawks in 6

If this was the early series figuring them out game the Blues are in for a world of trouble

And there was no Keith.

[biittner77]

The concern is that if the Blues get excellent goaltending they can win the series. They've never got that out of Elliot or Jay Gallon before so it remains to be seen if they can actually do it now.
