    Teams score on fluke dump ins that happen to bounce awkwardly and barely go into the net on a weird angle in every playoff series?

    This guy has been on fire. Toews looked like he had him out of position and somehow he makes the save.
  3. UMFan83
    Dammit now the Preds are going on the PP. All the momentum is with them right now.

    Interesting to see how the Hawks respond to being punched in the mouth...we all know what the did in the regular season at times.
  5. UMFan83
    Seriouisly are you kidding me? That's the luckiest goal I've ever seen in my life.
  6. UMFan83
    Oh my god....what a horrible [expletive] break.
  7. UMFan83
    Wow that was close to getting through the 5 hole of Niemi.
  8. UMFan83
    he got hooked right in front of the goal, should have been a penalty shot. Yep, absolutely. I think Kane was holding his arms up in front of the goal asking where the penalty was.

    BTW, Wade made it pretty clear that Miami is going to have all the chance in the world to keep him. I think the quote was something like "I love Chicago, Chicago is my home but Miami is where my heart is". Bosh hasn't been as direct but has made recent comments to suggest Toronto is definitely not out of the running. I've also read that Lee wants to stay with the Knicks if they want him. Should be interesting to see what really happens.

    You stole my line. :) I hope they audition well, but nobody in the media seems to think they have any chance at all with LeBron. I don't think they do either, but honestly crazier things have happened, especially considering that none of the big FAs have really tipped their hands either way. I could see LeBron thinking Chicago all year while the media is talking Cleveland and NY, and then on July 1 shock the world by signing with the Bulls. Unlikely sure but impossible no

    Chelsea Dagger is music to my ears!! Sucks that another team uses it too...
  12. UMFan83
    that should wake the fans up.
  13. UMFan83
    Kane is so unclutch right???? right????
  14. UMFan83
    Oh my gosh. I can't believe all the good chances we've gotten without scoring. We've had him completely beat a couple of times. Good play by the Preds there though
  15. UMFan83
    Getting too fancy out there. How but a nice wrister to the 3 hole?
  16. UMFan83
    First PP for the Preds coming up...
  17. UMFan83
    If the Hawks lost this game, look forward to a local sportswriter blaming the presence of the Cubs for the loss.

    Nashville was sending in two forecheckers a lot. I don't know if that's baiting the Hawks into the breaks or just risking them. I noticed that too, which made me wonder the same thing about baiting the Hawks. I wouldn't be surprised because they seemed to have their defenders positioned well once the Hawks player got past the forecheckers. Maybe Nashville is trying to avoid the Hawks getting into sustained possessions in the Preds zone and instead drawing them into this style of play. I don't know if that's smart though because it takes one defensive lapse and you're playing from behind. Sharp's breakaway could have easily been that moment for them.

    I was thinking the same thing. Which is a little weird because unlike the Cubs, the Hawks had playoff success the year before. But I think its more about the fact that most fans view this as their best opportunity to win the cup, everyone has picked them, everyone knows how topsy turvy the first round has been to other teams, and we've pretty much been waiting for the playoffs to start since the first day of the season giving fans enough time to consider every possible outcome in the playoffs, including the one that panics them which is losing in the first round.

    Hawks need to focus on puck control more in the 2nd period. They have been trying to start fast breaks to the net when they've gotten possession in the neutral zone which has led to a couple good chances but no sustained possessions in the Nashville zone. I'd like to see them go back to controlling the puck in the Preds zone, get someone down by the net to screen the goalie, and let em fly.
  21. UMFan83
    Preds have been outplaying the Hawks for the last 10 minutes or so....they have been controlling the puck as well as the Hawks are supposed to.
  22. UMFan83
    This crowd has a "Game 1 2008 NLDS" vibe to it.
  23. UMFan83
    Ahhh dammit Sharpie had a breakaway!
  24. UMFan83
    Hossa has been rather impressive early on.
  25. UMFan83
    Finally we clear it...just as I get done saying the Preds possessions inside our zone have been short they get a long long time in there.
