Yeah its kind of annoying how Q stubbornly stuck to this style of play the entire series. Part of me thinks, this is what got you here, this is why you were able to shread goalies like Lungo in the playoffs, see if it can work. But when the Hawks got completely outclassed in Game 1, he should have already been making adjustments. And the Wings just got off a series with a team that showed us how to slow down the Wings. I mean part of it is the fact that Anaheim has really nice defensemen, but the Hawks have better shooters. Like you said, slow the game down, even up your odds, and take your chances with your skilled shooters. the bottom line is the penguins are a better team than detroit. they were the better team in games 1,2,3,4,6, and 7. hawks weren't better than detroit.
