Game was just amazing. One of the best NBA games I've seen in awhile. Can't believe the Heat pulled that off, and now -- there's just no way the Spurs win game 7, I'll go out on that limb.

lol, ok man. you can't choke when your opponent is damn good, and deserves to be there as well. it's a tough series. they may lose, but there's no choking going on. bruins are really good. Toews and Kane haven't been very good. Toews has 1 goal in 19 games. Kane has 4? Nobody on this team is winning face offs. Where has Bickell been? Q has been especially bad. I'd call it choking. The Hawks should be better then this. they've been outscored by 2 goals and 2-1 is literally as close as a series could possibly be through 3 games. if they're choking, then every team that's ever lost in the playoffs has choked. Nah, it's like I've said they should be playing better and Q's coaching decisions are awful. Were a deeper more talented team. Here's a fun stat. In the last 9 games the Hawks are 1-27 on the PP. Hawks PP has been an issue all year, not just this series. It's not choking, but you can keep saying it if that's what makes you happy.

Next game is a must-win, without actually being a must-win. Ya know?

Chara was brilliant there, got to hand it to him. If he didn't push Bickell down the puck would've been right on his stick.

Or take a token shot from the blue line with no one in front.

Ready for another crappy non-power play, everyone?

Yeah, that really pissed me off. I've seen some great play from Bickell of course, but what the living [expletive].

Ugh, what a joke that was.

But I still feel young.

Whoa. We haven't played in NY, on this date, since 2 years before I was born.

I saw tiredness in OT -- or at least what I perceived to be tiredness. I guess it makes sense. Just OT after OT these past few games, it's got to wear on them eventually. I don't see why the Hawks can't play more like they did in the 1st period moving forward. They completely dominated the Bruins, and really the game shouldn't have even gone to OT. It was a classic ref mistake, not having enough visual angles to see where the puck is around the net. It happens. I'd like to pose a serious question: why do people around here think there's suddenly no chance? I went back and watched game 1 (I was traveling during most of the game). I saw the Hawks get beat fairly bad in the early 1st period, then adjust and pretty much dominate play in the 2nd period. Then they let a goal in the 3rd to go down 3-1, but adjusted quickly and scored a couple goals to tie it. To me, the Hawks did not get lucky in game 1. They won because they were supposed to -- they were the better team. Game 2, the Hawks controlled play the entire 1st period, then part of the 2nd. From about the halfway point of the 2nd period on, they were controlled. So, you've got the Hawks actually controlling more of the ice time so far, or at the very least a pretty even split. My question: how does this equal the Hawks having no chance whatever?

Agreed on the response. It's a 1-1 series, a damn good Cup finals. Hawks looked bad the last part of this game. They completely and totally dominated the 1st period though. You can't just disregard that and say they can't do it again. It's a travesty that the refs can't get a simple goal call right, but whatever. Roll with it. We beat the Kings in their building and we can beat the Bruins in their building.

geez, at least let the games be played. ridiculous.

[expletive].

Too much THEM. Not enough US.

I'm just not used to seeing this. Looks grimm to me right now.

I told the Hawks to go with the 5 hour energy and not coffee, but no.

We are still playing because of ref blindness.

Hawks look slow and tired.

It's like the Hawks blew their wad too early.

What the frakity frak, man.

Concern rising...

THEN MAKE ADJUSTMENTS BACK DAMMIT.

Rask has been good, but it's just luck that other goal wasn't definitively in. Just keep it up, we'll be fine. No letup, it's our house.
