2015 Stanley Cup Playoffs: All hail the Blackhawks, mudbutt (1 Viewer)

Damn

 

[sporthenry]

This is great hockey at least for the casual fan. Nice to see offense and an open game.

Kucherov!!!

Aren't you a fan of some other team? IIRC Cappy's the only reg Bolts fan here.

Whalers/Bruins. Counterweight for all the Hawks fans. Looks pretty, the blue and silver, no?

Nothing like hitching your wagon to another team when yours is playing golf.

It's fun, actually. Simply cheering for TB. Worse is hitching it to your regional rival when your team moved, so I can cope.

Not hitching anything to the Wings. Tons of respect for great organization. Period. GL on getting another Cup anytime soon...Bruins suck. 17 seconds. Remember that? That was fun.

You're sensitive tonight. I'm in too good of a mood to fight. I was talking about having to hitch the Whale to the Bruins. I'm okay with the Bruins sucking. Rarely got to root for a hockey team that didn't.

Oh, and Johnson!!!

You a bolts fan too? Can't remember...I know I've seen you around a bunch but can't remember.

Is there another player that gets as many chances with out scoring as JT Brown?

Good goal.

That's a nice little trick.

Hawks learned that from the Ducks

Sure looked like the puck was past Hossa before he touched Bishop...but I'm a little drunk I think.

Comiskey's play any better when drunk?

*Yawn* Wake when OT starts.

On par with Sharp

Can win with Vasilevskiy

Nope...looks like dog ####. Bet TVR is in Game 3.

Both have had #### games. Sharp can't hit the broad side of a barn right now with a shot.

Looked to me like Hossa touched Bish first, BUT I dont think he hit him hard enough to make a difference

How do you think it would play out next year with a coaches challenge?

 

[ffldrew]

Vasilesky in the hot seat now

Inconclusive

Count it .....

Missed opportunity on pp with a cold goalie

PP was horrific.

He did then left again

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Goalie upgrade for Tampa

 

[belljr]

Oh. Missed that. Did they say why thought it was equipment

 

[E Street Brat]

Stiffler's mom behind the Hawks bench

 

[Hawks64]

Coming back to Chicago 1-1. Hawks with home ice advantage.

 

[E Street Brat]

Goalie upgrade for Tampa

Definitely the future of this team

 

[rockaction]

Nice. No sweep. More hockey.

 

[JaxBill]

Total guess but I'll go with flu-like symptoms

 

[E Street Brat]

Coming back to Chicago 1-1. Hawks with home ice advantage.

TB has turned into a pretty good road team over the playoffs,

So were the Ducks.

I thought bishop came back in

I actually missed this whole exchange. What happened ?

3-3 game and I hang with kids a bit and we put game back on and Bishop benched ??

What was the reasoning ??

Wasn't benched. Went to the locker once, came back and then left again. Not sure what happened. It was pretty neat to hear the announcers talk about Vwhateverthe####hisnameis being the 2nd coming or Roy though. Even though he wasn't tested at all.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

I guess Vasilevskiy needs a cool nickname like Crow, or Hammer, or Desi

One of the best goalies to enter the league in the past 10 years.

You should hope Bishop is ok, because if Vasilevskiy plays you'll learn his name real quick.

Man I'm too filled with beer to try and fifurre out how to spell his mane. You knwo who I was talkgin about. I could have gonwe with Vaskdjfnasdjfnasdy and it would have een the smae.

Just heard his name mentioned this afternoon from some hockey draft guys talking about this year's draft propspects. They said Vasilevskiy went in the 1st round of the draft a few years ago and they think another Russian goalie, Samsonov, may go in the first round of this year's draft.

Coming back to Chicago 1-1. Hawks with home ice advantage.

That's all they really needed ...2-0 would have been nice, but I'll take 1-1, as will the Hawks. And this was a close game. A TB blow-out of the Hawks would have swung the momentum.

Guessing we won't see Cumiskey on Monday night. Not sure what they'll do about Sharp, although he's experienced enough to shrug off this game and maybe do something productive. The big guns need to start contributing.

 

[Capella]

I think that was the best hockey game I've ever attended. That was some good hockeyin' out there.
