    TVR was ok but he definitely looked slow to react to some plays and had a couple interesting passes inside the Hawks end. Still like him more than Cumiskey and Rundblad who are going to hurt you the more time they are on the ice. It's actually amazing that the Ducks weren't able to take more advantage as it seems like Everytime TB scores, at least one of the bottom 2 blue liners are on the ice.

    That's fine. I disagree though I definitely think the Hawks are the better team. Nothing I saw from the Lightning suggests that they are clearly better. Why because they are fast? pfft. I honestly was more worried after 3 games of the Anaheim series. I thought they were clearly the superior team through 3 games. I don't think that here. That's not to say that the Lightning can't win. They are definitely good enough to win this series just as Anaheim was last round. I just don't think they will. And yes part of it is because of the past. There have been plenty of examples of teams looking better than the Hawks through 3 games only for the Hawks to pull through. LA looked like they were on another whole level through 4 games last year and it took an awkward deflection in OT of game 7 to put the Hawks away. Vancouver was clearly better than Chicago through 3 games and even a lot of game 5 and 6 but it took a terrible TO in OT of game 7 to beat us. The only 2 series that weve lost under Q that we just didn't fight til the end were 2009 against Detroit and 2012 against Phoenix. we pretty much always respond and we play our best when our backs are to the wall. It's happened this year it happened last year it happened the year before it happened 6 years ago etc.

    Tough to lose a game that's at home, you outshoot them, you kill of 90 seconds of a 5-on-3, score a power play goal and have a 3rd period lead
  5. UMFan83
    Yet they are still the 2nd best team on the ice. that hasn't been shown at all though. They have played 3 games to a draw. The difference has been a single goal with 3 minutes left in the most recent game. The Hawks have had periods of dominance and so have the Lightning.

    They aren't as good as us. We will be fine. It will be a test though. I think most of us were saying the same thing after game 3 against Boston in 2013 too They look so fast. Kinda like us during our early days of being good. I'll never count this team out but I've seen too much dominating play from Tampa. I was saying the same thing in 2013. We got dominated for most of the first 3 games with the biggest domination coming in the 3rd game. Lightning haven't dominated us as much as Boston did in 2013. It's not going to be easy but I'll still give the Hawks a 60% chance of winning the series well that's silly. the odds are certainly in tampa's favor right now. Obviously with home ice and a series lead they are. I am fairly confident in the Hawks. They always get better as the series goes along and I think the first 3 games have been played to a draw. Advantage Chicago

    Yes honestly that's the biggest issue. 0 points from Kane and Toews through 3 games, it's not surprising at all were down 2-1. Toews in particular looked bad tonight. Disappointing especially because Q is able to pick his matchups.

    2 games in a row.

    Really really bad unnecessary loss but we will be fine.
  12. UMFan83
    Hawks won game 1 and lost games 2-3 last finals and won in 6
  13. UMFan83
    Yup. Again were fine though if we win game 4. Hawks almost always rise to the occasion when things are dire
  14. UMFan83
    The Lightning are really exposing our shitty 5-6 defensive guys. 3 goals this series I completely attest to the
  15. UMFan83
    Just win game 4 and were fine I guess
  16. UMFan83
    Unreal

    How the hell have I survived 7 years of perennial long playoff runs filled with tense games?
  18. UMFan83
    Yeah it's been a problem all playoffs
  19. UMFan83
    Fantastic puck possession [expletive] me
  20. UMFan83
    About as entertaining of a scoreless period as you can get Wish we would have taken advantage of the PK momentum before the period ended
  21. UMFan83
    Again just push our guys into the goalie and draw a penalty
  22. UMFan83
    Well we're fucked
  23. UMFan83
    Bickell is a piece of [expletive]
  24. UMFan83
    That was weak sauce Vermette. Should have found your teammate
  25. UMFan83
    Is it 6 on 5? There's a lightning guy everywhere the puck goes
