Blackhawks playoffs 2016: The games finally mean something

[minnesotacubsfan]

I mean, it's not like they haven't done this before

[UMFan83]

damnit, i'm invested again

 

I know I'm already playing through the rest of the series on my head. Hawks hold serve in the 3rd, 2 days of hearing about all the pressure on the Blues, Blues go down 3-0 and start gooning it up and losing composure, go back to St. Louis and the blues look stiff and tentative, Hawks win something like 3-2 to win the series.

 

Of course my real focus is on not letting them out score us by more than 1 goal in the 3rd

[minnesotacubsfan]

horsefeathers that he flood gates are open. Q, baby!

[UMFan83]

Someone clear the horsefeathering puck. They deserved that goal

[Butterscup]

tired of the 20 minute PK.

[Butterscup]

what do you know the 20 minute PK killed us again.

[Brian]

sorry guys, turned the game on for like 5 minutes and that happens.

[UMFan83]

Yeah this Hawks team does not have many of the same qualities that made them champions.

 

They might lose 2 games when leading coming into the 3rd in a 5 game series when they hadn't lost one in regulation in 2 years.

 

They blew a 2 goal lead in the 3rd in an elimination game. So not like the Hawks. They aren't possessing the puck, they aren't clearing it. Just not the Hawks I've watched the last 7 years

Add to that inexplicably ill timed penalties

[Butterscup]

a perfect fitting to finish us off. a too many men penalty.

[17 Seconds]

they're losers this year

[kujay]

I feel indifferent to what happens here. It's weird.

[kujay]

Won't be long at this pace.

[Butterscup]

this type of puck possession is what the hawks would do to teams in their cup winning years

[Butterscup]

like...the blackhawks arent even running an offense. dump, get checked, chip it in, get checked, fling a blind shot towards the goal

[kujay]

They forced an icing call while ignoring a delayed offside. The horsefeathers.

I was waiting for the Blues to score and have a 3rd goal removed because of offsides

[Butterscup]

this is so bad.

[UMFan83]

this is so bad.

 

This reminds me of OT in game 6 against Vancouver. Offense is non existant, puck possession is non existant, clearing the puck is an impossible task. Eventually the Hawks won in a Ben smith garbage goal

[minnesotacubsfan]

It's about time Kane

[Tim]

Kane!

[17 Seconds]

haha, whatever

[UMFan83]

That was incredible. Kane just decided "horsefeathers this I'm ending it". He was all over the place in 2OT.

 

Glad I stayed up. We were terrible tonight but we live to fight another day

[Tim]

Just win game 6 at home and the Blues sphincters will pucker up for game 7.

i wouldn't be surprised if they're tight in game 6. losing a potential clincher at home is a real kick in the dick.
