The Chicago Blackhawks Thread

Nice start last night. Detroit's D isn't deep enough to keep up with the Hawks forwards.

Plan for tomorrow:

Wake up
Eat breakfast
Start drinking
Walk to game

That was awful on Saturday. Hopefully they can win one in Detroit. And what a shocker...Stalberg will be back in the lineup today.

Did they scratch Carcillo?

Sounds like it is Handzus that will be scratched and Bolland back to 2nd line center. Stalberg back to the 3rd line w/ Bickell and Shaw that Q never should have messed around with.

Actually, it looks like it is Carcillo that will be scratched.

Tough one last night. Hit 3 posts. Brutal call on that "goalie interference". But the Hawks prob got away with one with that hit on Franzen that led to Kane's goal so I guess it evens out. And what the fuck is with this power play??? Also, anytime Toews wants to show up for the playoffs would be fine with me. He has something like 3 goals in his last 30 playoff games. It's time for the captain to step up.

I thought Toews had a decent game, some shots on goal, and a lot of battling in front of the goalie to get the puck. The defense looked shaky at best last night. I'd bitch about the no goal call, but this is not a Redwings thread. :nono:

Big game tonight. Must Win!

Toews did have a decent game Monday, but he has to start scoring goals. Plain and simple. 3 goals in the last 30 playoff games just isn't good enough.

HUGE game tonight...I think the Hawks come out flying and take an early lead.

Agreed. Being pissed and being aggressive is one thing, but he's playing stupid right now! :x
This game could be 2 or 3-0 right now. :x

Yep. Detroit was so sloppy early in the game and the Hawks didn't take advantage. Hit a couple posts, but that excuse is getting old. Put the fucking puck in the net. I still can't believe Toews took 3 straight penalties. He was playing so stupid. And the power play???? Words can't even describe how bad it was. It's time to put Leddy out there running the point. He's the only D-man that can carry the puck into the zone and set it up. This dumping it in around the boards shit obviously isn't working.

Way to bounce back. 2 power play goals and Toews even scored!!

Take game 6 in Detroit and I feel great about a game 7 at home. Fuck Detroit.

Amazing what you can do when you dont commit 3 penalties in one period.

Yep. Makes a little bit of a difference. Great game all around. PK was great as usual and finally making something happen on the PP.

IMO it all came down to them actually skating and moving around the puck...as opposed to watching and dumping the puck in.

Indifference71

Can't wait for the game tonight. Gotta get the first goal to take the crowd out of it...

Impressive 3rd period ... Except you could have done without the drama of Hossa taking that penalty

Indifference71

Wow. What a 3rd period that was. I could barely handle watching that....I can only imagine how nuts I am going to be watching game 7.

I thought Chicago was toast down 3-1 ... and even down 2-1 last night, the hawks didn't look very good in the 2nd period ... whatever was said to fire up the troops worked ...

i love game 7's! :corn:

i was hoping for crawford's sake that game didn't end 2-1. he has played so well all season and all post season, he doesn't deserve to spend the offseason thinking about that knuckle puck and all of the abuse he would have taken from hawk fans.

Yeah, that would have been terrible if that was the goal that sent the Hawks to the golf course. Thankfully it wasn't. I'm nervous already just thinking about this game 7.

Game 7. Today is going to be a long day...
