You knew Rose sprained his ankle, so it shouldnt be any kind of surprise that he was in a walking boot today. That's what I mean by not a big deal. As I said, its common practice for teams to do that with ankle injuries.
Looks like we would be playing SJ if we won on Tuesday, correct? Unless SJ blows a 3-1 lead, and then we'd be playing the Wings. I absolutely cannot believe I am even considering the possibility of round 2. Who'd a thunk it?
He's getting shipped in the offseason if that happens. How many teams want a goalie who chokes in the playoffs and has 11 years left on his contract? He has a no-trade clause too. I'm sure Eastern conference teams would like him seeing as they wouldnt see the Hawks until the Finals
Apparently, Bieska was waving "goodbye" to the fans at the UC after his 3rd period goal gave Vancouver a 3-2 lead. Yep, goodbye UC, hello Vancouver for game 7
I've heard rumors his glovehand is hurt and that is what is causing the poor goaltending. True? Heard that too. That's how the Hawks got back into the series by attacking the glove side. But I definitely don't think its all the hand injury
What happens to Luongo if he chokes in game 7 and gives up 4-5 goals? Seriously, what do you do? Take him to a sports psychologist? This Hawks team has no business taking this talented of a Canucks team to 7 games. It's all between the ears.
I don't think they will interfere. I believe the Bulls will be on at 7, and Hawks on at 9....so 30 minute overlap. Hopefully the Bulls get their head out of their asses and make that last 30 minutes irrelevant.
Seriously....we don't win that without his fantastic saves in OT. Maybe he wasn't standing on his head, but he was under constant attack in the OT. Canucks just choked..simple as that
So many thoughts and questions here. Who starts in goal for Vancouver in Game 7? How demoralized will the Canucks be? How demoralized will the Canucks FANS be? I can imagine if the Hawks take an early lead it will resemble game 1 of the 2008 NLDS after the grand slam. God I love this sport. Bulls and Hawks both have a chance to move to the second round on Tuesday!
What I wouldnt do for a cheapie goal for the Hawks right now. Come on, the Bulls lost, the Dodgers took two out of 3, give me a happy ending to the weekend!
