  1. Ugh Shaw....I'm sick of this [expletive] from you. Horrible timing for a penalty too geez
  2. The Hawks had looked really good to that point too
  3. dammit thats just frustrating
  4. I hate admitting this because I still think the Hawks will win the series regardless, but mentally I've already put this series at 2-2 in my head. But I think I might be telling myself that so that I don't get too upset if they lose tonight.
  5. they're making it seem like the Cubs thought they were getting Appel.
  6. Damn, this is like the same thing that happened to Hammer in Game 3, except for the whole broken leg part: http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nhl/2013/06/06/gregory-campbell-injured/2395425/
  7. I don't know how Rahm thinks they are going to host the Super Bowl in the smallest stadium in the NFL (err 2nd smallest capacity now because the Raiders decided to tarp off 10k seats). Add playing in one of the coldest winter cities in the NFL during the coldest time of the year (average forecast in NYC on 2/10 is 39/25, for Chicago its 33/20). I just don't see it ever happening unless they figure out a way to add 5-10k seats and hope that the NYC Super Bowl goes off flawlessly with a decent gameday forecast.
  8. It will be tough but not impossible. Lets see if Richards plays. Until the Hawks lose a home game I refuse to panic.
  9. damn thought this was a 9pm game. Looks like I wasnt missing much
  10. Suspension Vid http://video.nhl.com/videocenter/console?catid=60&id=257057&cmpid=nhl-twt
  11. Come on announce your damn decision already.
  12. Weird to see Hawks players as bad guys this playoffs. Lots of goon tactics and borderline hits. Not more than the average NHL team but I don't remember as much of it in previous years. During the Cup run, sure Bolland was a pest, but not in dirty way. Eager and Burish would antagonize but again not in a particularly dirty way. Or maybe I am just remembering those days with rose colored glasses. Now we have people calling Keith a very dirty player among the worst in the league, people calling for Bolland to be suspended for his hit in game one, and the mere presence of Carcillo and Mayers although they don't dress most of the time.
  13. You think a double minor should lessen the chance for a suspension? the severity of one at least. I thought i remember Shanahan saying that Torres not getting a penalty played into the length of his suspension last year, but I might be insane.
  14. Shouldnt the fact that he was given a double minor factor into it? If not it should
  15. I'm over the loss already for a few reasons. One, I did not expect a sweep, and in fact I thought it was more likely we headed back to Chicago tied 2-2 despite how lifeless and banged up the Kings appeared. They looked lifeless and banged up last series too (as our old friend Burish pointed out the other day) and still went 4-0 at home. Second, I was very encouraged with how the Hawks stayed in the game and really should have tied it at the end. Has to be a bit demoralizing for the Kings to play as desperate as they did and having the Hawks get several excellent attempts to send it to OT in the latter part of the 3rd period. Anyways, I think we can win Game 4, but I won't be destroyed if we are tied going back to Chicago. I was bracing for a long series before it started, and while I was/am feeling good from how the weekend went, I knew it would be extremely difficult to win in LA. Would really really like Kane and Toews to wake the heck up and start producing though. Kane especially, because at least you know Toews is giving you quality defensive play when he's not producing offensively.
  16. Right...im actually very encouraged by the 3rd period. Came to LA needing to take 1 of 2 to have a nearly insurmountable lead in the series. Even if we lose game 4, we still have home ice.
