I see Crawford is in playoff form.I say that as a joke. But he has 3 Cups.

Ugh, I think tonight's game says all we need to know about this season. Blow a fucking 5-2 lead and lose.

That was rough. A LONG way to go. Still not afraid of the Blues at all in the playoffs.

True. The Dallas Blackhawks I mean Stars on the other hand...

Yeah man, they are looking real good. This central division is killer. Going to be a fight to get into the playoffs.

KICKING ASS!!!!

12 in a row! This team is on fire. Kane already has matched his career high in goals....in 49 games. Crazy.

If anyone at this point doubts either the captaining of Jonathan Toews or the coaching of Joel Quenneville... they really need to just stop watching hockey. These guys are the Belichik/Brady of hockey. Without the scandals.

Gotta give it up to the Bowmans, too, for their excellent scouting. Seems no matter who we lose to free agency or trades, someone comes in and fills the role well. Whether it's by trade or a rookie, the Hawks just don't seem to skip too many beats.

Yep! The guy is killing it right now. So fun to watch!

Indifference71

So Toews is sick and skipping the all star game. Per the usual, the NHL has an absolutely ridiculous rule that suspends anyone 1 game for missing the all star game. Wow.

Absolutely killing it on the power play lately!! 7 goals from 7 players vs Toronto the other night, Breadman with the hattie last night! About time they shook the all-star funk off.

Toronto is so bad. Very nice win at the garden last night....Panarin is awesome. What a bush league play by Yandle knocking Panarin down at the end when he put in the empty-netter for the hat trick. Can't believe no one went after him after that nonsense.

Ladd! That was the one guy I really hated to see go after they won the 1st cup of this run. They gave up a lot to get him for what will most likely be a 3 month rental, but I love it. Stan doesn't fuck around.

HesCalledDyer

Yeah I was pretty stoked when I got the notification on my phone last night about Ladd!

HesCalledDyer

An assist in his first game back. Big win against the best team (by record) in the league. I'll take it!

Hawks and Kings in conference final....Kings in 7

What did the Blackhawks have for dinner last night?

Indifference71

Hawks are really struggling lately. They've been getting blown out a lot....not exactly a good sign. Hopefully they get their shit together here down the stretch and are playing well heading into the playoffs. This seems like a nice time to have 3 days off until they play again on Saturday.

HesCalledDyer

Yeah, seems like we either blow the other team out, or get blown out ourselves (more often than not, lately). And for the most part, it's been against teams we'd potentially see in the playoffs. I know the downturn was well before Crow's injury, but it's quite obvious Darling can't handle starting every day. The rest is much needed. Hopefully they get their shit together in the next 2 weeks.

SPEEDY MCCREADY

So am I reading this right?
4 times this year, the Hawks fell behind to Dallas 4-0.
4 times the Hawks gave up 4 unanswered goals to Dallas?

I don't get to see as many games as many of you, but one thing I've really noticed over the last month or so is that it seems like the guys are expecting someone else to make a play. Their skating and puck control have been horrible. Way too much standing around, not making things happen.
