I know he's a defenseman but you gotta finih that Geez Crawford, it takes you 10 seconds to get up? Hawks now 1-18 on the power play this series. (5.6%)
-
Leddy you [expletive] you missed an open net this is why we are horrible on the PP [expletive] like this. You don't need a 140 mph slap shot there.
-
Dammit, what a shitty way to kill our momentum by getting a power play. I think Phoenix did that on purpose because they sensed we were getting something going
-
The Coyotes block so many shots, but then again that's because the Hawks fling shots right at them. I don't know if they think the shots will randomly go through them, or deflect towards the net, but it seems like a low percentage play at best.
-
Finally Did Q tell them there was under a minute left?
-
This playoff series really puts a damper on his breakout season, because he's been pathetically bad.
-
How much of our offensive ineptitude is on us and how much is Smith admittedly being pretty damn good. One things for sure, the Hawks of 2 years ago would have made Smith cry by the end of the series.
-
yup thats been the problem all series...we cant get any cushion between us and Phoenix. The Hawks have outshot them every game, and in 3 of the games the difference in SOG was more than 10, but we're down 3-1. For some reason the Hawks just take the worst shots...I know its part of their strategy to fling it on net and hope for a redirect/rebound, but the Hawks are not physical enough to be in the position to take advantage of a good rebound most of the time.
-
4 straight minutes of power play and of course nothing to show from it. We aren't going to come back from down 3-1 without ever scoring on the PP. I cant wait for this season to be over.
-
nope of course we cant keep it in the zone and we don't have any time to do anything with the 2 man advantage. [expletive] this PP
-
oh come on please let the hawks score the 15 seconds of 5 on 3....win this faceoff
-
I propose we don't scare away every new poster that wants to talk baseball.
-
Idiotic Stallberg. Don't show up at all this series and then do something dumb like that to put your team on the PK.
-
2 nights ago was a terrible night for Chicago sports as all 4 teams in action lost. Today so far the Cubs won, the White Sox won with a perfect game, the bulls have started up well against Dallas and Rose is back.... Good sign! I think if the Hawks can get the OT goal tonight this series will go 7. I can't see the Hawks losing at home 3 times in one series. Also the Hawks are due for one of those scoring outbursts they are known for. Hopefully that's tonight. Maybe I'm just being a homer but I think the Hawks win tonight, something like 5-3 with Smith getting pulled in the 2nd after giving up 5 goals and the Hawks withstanding a couple Phoenix goals in the 3rd.

For once Shanahan did a good job in his video of laying out the particulars and to me it made sense that it was 25 games. He broke 3 NHL rules (Charging, Interference an Illegal targeting of head), the hit was intentional as he left his feet before making contact (he acknowledged that sometimes a players skates can come off ice in the process of finishing a check). Hossa was also severely injured and hast played since, and Torres has been fined or suspended for similar hits 5 times in the last few seasons, all of which he intentionally targeted the head, including 2 other incidents this year.) I honestly think there is no too much this time. He knew what he was doing and knew what he was risking by doing it and he could have altered Hossas career with the hit. He deserved whatever he got. If you want to argue about precedent I guess you could argue it was too much, but since when has Shanahans punishments ever relied on precedent. I'm just happy the wheel landed on 25.

More like we only got a 25 year old failing prospect for an all-star with a respectable contract? -
This go cubs go thing is going to be synonymous with the losing years soon and people are going to want to stop with it when the Cubs get good again.
-
lol Cincinnati, you lost to the Cubs!
-
Wait the training staff is trying to kill DRose? Oh no
-
Because it doesn't piss me off. It entertains me.
-
uh yeah, i thought that was obvious

How Has the Cubs Attendance Been This Season?

Emery may start game 5 apparently. Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen
-
Simmons the homer now suggests that either Kevin Garnett or Greg Stiemsma should be on the Olympic team over names like Aldridge, Griffin, Bynum and Bosh. This is after he called Boston a legit title contender, Doc Rivers should be COY, and KG should be the All NBA 3rd team center after a 21-8 stretch two weeks ago. I know I'm obsessed with this but it never gets old to see a supposedly national columnist write this stuff and be seemingly oblivious that he's being a homer.
-
The training staff should be fired immediately after the season. Heck, if you could find a replacement you could trust, I'd fire them now.
