April 28, 200916 yr QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 28, 2009 -> 03:42 PM) The Sedin twins.. they are a couple of pussies. To be honest, I think we'll do fine against Vancouver. They barely held off the Flames in their division, and only have home ice because of stupid rules that division winners get the top 3 seeds. Just because they are the 3 seed does not mean they are better than the Blackhawks... quite the opposite in fact. Hawks in 6. Plus, the 'hawks should be fired up after the hair-pulling incident from the last time these two teams played. I was very impressed with the way this team held back from taking stupid penalties after Calgary was trying to goad them into it. I hope the time off has cooled Luongo. 'hawks in 7.

I think they are more physical and slightly dirtier than Calgary which may hurt us a little, but all in all we should handle them.

This has 7 games written all over it.

April 29, 200916 yr The ending in that Canes-Devils game was shocking. First time i've ever seen something like that.

Wow, i'm blind. I take back my brutal comment. I was told that VS network has exclusive rights to Round 2 of the playoffs. Is it possible that there will still be a local channel? I have a friend who doesn't have VS, so I'm just trying to find out the details for him. Edited April 29, 200916 yr by smalls2598

This matchup is much tougher. Knock the Sedin twins if you wish, but they each put up 82 points this season. Anyone remember the last 2 games we had against them this year and how they played in those games? They are great players. Add in the fact that Luongo is a much better goaltender than Kip, and this matchup is tough.

This was a matchup I didnt want from the get go.

April 30, 200916 yr My tickets for Tuesday's game were delivered today!!!! Ha, my dad signed for the package and he doesn't even know whats in it. Gonna flip when I get home, open them up, and tell him he's going with me!! We need to get off to a fast start and I think that we will. I think we need to steal one of the two in Vancouver to have a good shot at advancing. GO HAWKS!!!
May 1, 200916 yr These penalties are getting ridiculous. In the first 12 minutes, the Hawks have earned 8 in the box.
May 1, 200916 yr QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 30, 2009 -> 09:40 PM) ...And the Hawks are getting their asses kicked. Yeah, they seem happy to have just gotten this far. Hopefully this ass-kicking wakes them up for Game 2.

It doesn't help when they have 7 penalties, including 4 double minors against them in the first 35 minutes. It's like the Canucks have razor blades in their gloves to ensure they bleed.
