Here we go again...

 

3rd period didn't end all that well. Game has become very sloppy...we need to control the pace again like we did in the first

This series will go 7 games with about 12 hockey games worth of periods being played.

Hawk has yaz, edzo has the long change and sticks on the ice

 

 

Hawks look sloppy

This series will go 7 games with about 12 hockey games worth of periods being played.

 

Hmm, I wonder what the record is for game time / real time in a 7 game series. Do they even keep those type of records?

Hawks have been a step slow last half of game.

Seguin has been impressive

I'll be real, I don't love our chances right now. Things can change quickly, though

Bollig sucks........................that said Hawks got f***ed out of a goal in first period.

Color me nervous about this series now.

The sad thing is we had a goal not called due to a quick whistle by the ref.

If Toews does not show up this will be a tough series to win.

Mr. Invisible this postseason

f*** f*** f*** f***

 

The Blackhawks should have been up 6-0 after the 1st. The Bruins stole this one.

 

Oh, and Q, thanks for Bollig. He was helpful tonight.

Chara slashes about every shift never called. Growing tired of having goals taken away by officials last 2 series. Tonights call was a killer.

I wouldn't call fans in Chicago who hope the Blackhawks win it all "bandwagon" fans. It's not like someone who lives in California their whole life and likes the Yankees.

I admittedly am a fair weather fan, if that's the same thing.

I'm a fair weather Hawks fan, too. But I grew up a diehard with season tickets for many years.

 

The only bad thing about that period is for as much as they dominated Boston, they are only up one. That has to give Boston something to fall back on.

 

I thought we were in big trouble when it was 1-1 because the Hawks coulda/shoulda been up BIG. I was amazed at all the opportunities Boston had in the second half of the third and the OT. If we play like that and they play like that in Boston, we're gonna get blown out of at least one of the next 2 games.

The League has long had a practice of letting questionable play slide in the postseason, particularly by elite players. In 2010, it was Chris Pronger. But there are blown calls on both sides of the ice—I'm sure you wouldn't have to look hard to find a Red Sox board where they're complaining about Marchand not getting a penalty shot or even a power play when Seabrook thwarted his breakaway.

 

As big a Hawks fan as I am, Zdeno Chara and the Bruins are by and large above board. They compete and play hard, there is no quit in their game. But I wouldn't call them dirty. Boston was the better team tonight and won fair and square.

 

Did the officials take a goal away? Yes. This whole 'intent to blow the whistle' jurisdiction leaves far too much room for interpretation for referees, and these calls almost always are game-changers. It is a rule that has to go. Either you blow the whistle or you don't. But if the Blackhawks were better, they'd have found a way to win.

 

Be that as it may, there was plenty of time to hang another on the board and with two power plays and the caliber of players the Hawks have, they didn't get it done. The no-goal deflated the Hawks, and Boston had the jump on them for most of the rest of the game.

 

I'm worried about that a hell of a lot more than I am about Chara's stick. Can the Hawks keep their foot on the gas?

As long as they're not on a PP

Chicago fans are bandwagoners that don't know anything about hockey, unlike Bostonians, says AP piece

 

Jesus Christ, can we make our off-day fluff a little less insulting?

 

What does bandwagoners mean in the real world? Do they get locked out of the stadium? Owners are more than happy to get revenue from bandwagoners.

 

It's on a very, very exclusive channel. In fact, I'll bet you a hefty sum of money you won't find it.

 

Also, go re-read the past 10 pages of the thread because we're not going through this again.

 

Why would I want to waste time doing this on a site that doesn't give the team it's own thread. There's a Cubs thread but no BH thread. Unbelievable unless we are devoting threads to perpetual losers. The Hawks don't qualify while the Sox and Cubs do.

I'm not saying this about anyone on here, but I know hockey fans that are so protective of their sport. I don't get it. Wouldn't you want new fans?

 

I can watch and pull for the Hawks since I live in Chicago and hope they win, despite not really liking hockey.

We gave them their own forum and nobody came.

What?

 

I can only hope this is the last post you make in the "NHL thread"

Giving a bit of history it was because a few people had an unhealthy obsession with the Cubs that kept ruining the regular baseball thread. For that reason it was separated to its own thread so we didn't have to hear about the Cubs were going to win sooner than the White Sox for the last 10 years or so.

Least surprising news of the day:

 

ESPN Chicago ‏@ESPNChiHawks

Stalberg with Kruger and Frolik on the fourth line. Bollig out

They are helping my hood make TONS of money right now, its good for the city and the team. Since the beginning of time fans have liked good teams, Boston included. Every single Patriot fan is bandwagon.
