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

So the Ducks hadn't lost at home all playoffs. Hawks won there twice.
Well they did play the Jets and Flames, by far the easiest route of any cf teams. Also neither of those series went to seven games, so Bruce didn't have a chance to lose a game 7 home game.

Was more a jab at the hype around the Ducks and how they are unstoppable domination. They are very very good team, great forecheckers very good young D, but the way the media talked about it Hawks didn't have much chance against such an onslaught.

And I do know they had the easiest track to the WCF, although I thought the Jets would be tougher than they were.

 
Feel like I need to hit one of the SCF games. I went in 2010 but not in 2013. I'll keep you all apprised of my ticket-garnering efforts. ;)
I would hook that train to chet....he seems to get tickets wherever he needs to.
Don't need it--have the same type of hookups, which is how I went in 2010 in a lower-level suite, to the Bears/Colts Super Bowl, etc. :)
:) I am surprised you don't have an offer on a house in Tampa as we speak, just so you don't have to say in a hotel ;)

:lmao: :doh: OMG great idea!!!

 
Grats Chet.
Nice of you to show up.
From the guy that's been here one day during the playoffs. Roflmao. I was having a great time on the Rio sports book with twenty great hockey fans. Blow me.
You're avatar is a bit outdated no?

Is 1900/seat a lot or fair for game 7 seats in Tampa? Blue line where hawks shoot twice row 10ish.
My Uncle has access to ticket and they are 600 face, not sure where they are though. I would go stubhub...might make some money.

1900 is stubhub.

 
oh chet you silly rich guy every time i read your posts i am like jeez i wonder what the poor people are doing right now and then i remember that i am one poor sob and i am sitting in a chair typing something stupid in to the internet so actually nevermind i figured out what the poor people are doing take that to the bank brohan

 
Just ####### with you. Grats. Already bet hawks in 4 or 5.

Ducks played like #### last two games. Hawks played solid d. Kept tipping our passes and ####ed with the ducks offensive flow. Q made the adjustments. Bruce did not. Beauchmin was ####### brutal. Getzlaf was a no show all of game 5 and first 40 today.
:) Biggest adjustment was getting Toews away from Kesler. Period. The Ducks are a scary team, young D that's excellent and 4 lines that forecheck like a mofo. I really underestimated them, thought they were 1.5 lines and that wasn't the case at all.

Was a crack at stubhub42...lol. I can find out where those 600 face tickets are if you want though.

 
Saad is one helluva player, so excited that he's still a Hawk. Sucks that in the NHL you are penalized for having a good team and drafting well, lost a few good players due to cap issues.

Your uncle should make some $$. IF he decides to sell, let me know section and row.

:lmao: You sound like the guy complaining about paying taxes on the powerball. Chicago is an all star team.

He's getting them from someone he works with for face. He's born and raised in Chicago but moved to FL ~15 years ago.

Would prefer something like the NBA where you have the ability to pay players that are homegrown a bit more than other teams, but yeah I would have loved to see what this team could have achieved without a salary cap.

 
How did Chicago have so few points during the regular season? Just jaking it?
Toughest division in the NHL and it isn't close. A bunch of injuries as well.

ETA 102 points vs 108 isn't a huge difference. It's not like they finished with 90 points and squeaked in.

I would also add that the hawks coasted through the reg season. I thought they'd be toast in the first round but somehow they managed to turn it on.

It's the equivalent of 3 games which is fairly significant. (Not saying Tampa is better because of that)

 
Was rooting for your Lightning in the ECF for your sake, Cappy, but now...it's on. #### you and everything you love.

 
Only 2 teams in NHL history to lose Game 7s at home in 3 straight years? Boudreau-coached Ducks and Capitals
Ouch.
You sure this is factual? ESPN deleted the tweet.
Not sure why it was deleted, it appears to be correct ... Washington from 2008-10.

Hard to believe, but that was only the second Game 7 Chicago ever has won on the road (the other was 1965 in Detroit). More amazing, the only Game 7 the Bruins ever won on the road was the 2011 Cup final in Vancouver. The Kings won three of them last year alone.

Even so, there should be a soft cap. If you draft and develop a true talent like Saad you shouldn't be forced to give him up if he wants to stay.

Another one it looks like they will be adding to that list is Teuvo.
