Horrible turnover. Poor Crawford didn't have a chance on the shot. Great great great game is all I can say. Excellent compelling hockey game. I didn't like our chances in a low scoring game, which they say most Game 7s are. Too emotional for the home team ... yet the hawks still almost did it. Had a good scoring chance in OT. Oh well, that season is OVA. Bulls taking care of business; Sox need to start playing like their payroll and taking it one game at a time for a change, considering Sox can't win games in their own division.

To score a shorthanded goal to tie it, to have the crowd be stunned ... I'm thinking we HAVE to be on the attack to start the OT. Put them out of their misery. I've been wrong before many times, however. We need Badger to say something that comes true again.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 27, 2011 -> 04:42 AM) I assume the Canucks are going to come out guns blazing to start, the Hawks have to withstand the surge. You can feel how tense it is when the Canucks are on defense, its only going to get worse. Thing is, does it have to be that way? We need to attack and if we give up an easy goal, so be it. Right? If we let Vancover regain the edge, we're cooked I would think.

I don't even know what to say about OT. I have no idea what the key to winning would be.

I'm speechless. Badger, it's all yours.

There's no way in the world Oz could have left Matt in to face A Rod. Matt looks like just another body this year, not at all like the Matt of old.

Crawford with more money saves. If we could just muster one goal, one damn goal.

Bad karma today from all my Chi friends mocking Luongo as well as all the bum of the week votes he got on the Grobber last night. Damn.

There was the chance to tie it up. That mighta been all she wrote. Good save by L.

Those 2 catches ... wow. I love Sergio, but wow, he better buy Lilly a few beers. Matt still isn't dealing at all. Paulie with the bit hit again.

If this was a boxing match, Vancouver would be up big on points. I'm still holding out hope we can slop in a goal to tie it?

Crawford has been amazing; we're not even testting Luongo.

Maybe you are right about Hawks being tired. No offense still. Not crisp.

My god. We catch a break. STart playing Hawks!! This series can be yours.

Penalty shot, oh no.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 27, 2011 -> 03:53 AM) The difference is one team can keep the puck in the zone and the other team lets every puck get by them. My hockey knowledge is not deep enough to really get critical here, but I just dont understand what the Hawks defensemen are doing on offense. They just have to keep those pucks in the zone. Yes, this game so far for sure. It hasn't been that way the last 3 games, however. This game, the Canucks are playing like the Canucks. The Hawks are teetering on the brink of it being OVA. It probably should be 4-0 right now. Crawford was amazing in period No. 2. It definitely should be 2-0 at least, that's why I still think we have a chance. If the Hawks play like they want it and tie it up ... wow. Do we all agree it's OVA if Vancouver takes a 2-0 lead?

QUOTE (bulokis @ Apr 27, 2011 -> 03:50 AM) Vancouver is playing more desperate. Hawks better wake up if not for Crawford we be down by more than a goal I would agree with that. Vancouver is playing for keeps. Thing is, at 1-0, if we could slop in a goal in the third, all bets are off. Might shake them a bit and their fans.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 27, 2011 -> 03:47 AM) Vancouver is just deeper than us, we are exhausted. Maybe. I don't know about the exhausted thing. The offense has certainly sucked, however.

The bad news after two periods is ... • Hawks have been outplayed and outhustled with so few scoring opportunities. The good news is ... • Only down 1-0, still have a chance. Crawford can't keep this up forever, however. Canucks are going to score again if they keep up this frenetic pace. Hawks have to score early in the third. It's been all Vancouver so far, YET IT'S ONLY 1-0!

WTF. That was a barrage of shots by Vanc.

Offense has been pretty lousy since Luongo returned last game. That goal we got was amazing in Game Six. We're not testing him much.

Crawford! Cmon, help him out and get this tied.

Crawford's on fire. We got no offense, though.

Don't like what I'm seeing. We fall behind 2-0 we're dead.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 27, 2011 -> 02:45 AM) No, they really don't. I have a feeling Girardi looked at Granderson's career numbers against Thornton, and decided to bunt. Then why it is written in the manager's book, 'play to tie at home and win on the road.' teams bunt in that situation.
