Ken Hitchcock actually said that 41 hits isn't enough, they need to reach 70 hits per game if they want to win the series. Has somebody been on the phone with Ryan Kesler?

If the Hawks keep playing like they did last night they win this series, doubling up the shots of your opponent is a good thing.

Yeah, give me 4 more of last night's game and we're done in 5 with a Hawks series victory.

 

It sucks to be down 1-0, but the talent gap is huge here.

More than happy to see them abandon playing the puck.

Missing a Hall of Fame defender the Hawks probably played their best game of the year. Yeah it sucks to lose, but sometimes you just don't get the bounces. If they play like this for the entire series, they will be fine.

Just got a free ticket/pre game meal from a work vendor for Tuesday's game, never been to a pro-hockey game in person so definitely pumped to see the atmosphere.

oh man, where is seating???

 

 

if you see this, just go and enjoy the game, esp visually. these players, the nhl players are the best in there city, and what they do is wonders.

 

also take a look at a team that starts behind the goal and how they come out and attack.

 

look at the dman stand up the opposing player with shear strength. all these little tings are what make hockey so special esp in person.

 

enjoy, have a dog and beer for me.

The east is so bad at hockey they fight in the playoffs

The Islanders lost on purpose to get in the quadrant with the Florida teams and Detroit, what does that tell you. One of those teams will make the conference final.

Philly is a joke. Unskilled goons

Dubnyk had a great night...and lost by 4

Kings hockey is sure a chore

Just ridiculous that one of Sharks-Kings and Blues-Blackhawks will be knocked out of the first round. Either of those teams I'll take over the other teams (not named Washington) in the playoffs in a 7 game series, Dallas included.

This Stars-Kings game is fantastic. One of these team is going to the WCF.

 

Quack quack quack

I think Scotty is gonna have one of those talks with Q if they lose this one. Luckily Keith addition will be more beneficial. That 3rd line with have no offense though with that anchor dragging it.

No Mashinter!

1 f***ing shot???

STL is blocking every shot it seems. I've also seen enough of TVR on the power play.

1 f***ing shot???

 

Yeah, there was a Blues player in the shooting lanes the entire period. It was an excellent defensive period by them.

Why doesn't Kane play all 2 minutes on the PP? What a f***ing joke

Damn, crossbar.

Damn turnover ends up in the back of the net.

Oh hey, that Keith guy is back.

Might have saved a goal there after Corey got nailed in the head.
