I basically gave up this year that I could catch up in my hockey knowledge to have anything interesting to say here. But, I have been incredibly nervous this series having went to Missouri. Nothing is more satisfying than seeing that group shut the hell up after the hawks once again move past them.

 

Aside from it sucking if the hawks exit the playoffs, it is doubly sucky for me if they are out at the hands of the blues.

Fleischmann is in for Teuvo???

Teuvo has started to play better, but he was the one who got hit at the end of game 6 when STL took a penalty and he did favor his leg, so perhaps it's an injury?

 

Regardless I can't see Fleischmann getting much playing time out there. Kane might play 23 minutes.

Teuvo getting extra treatment on his leg and is expected to play tonight per Scott Powers.

He just doesn't play the right type of game to be very useful in a physical series like this. Like Kane did early in his career, he has got to learn to create space, and to battle in the corners. He just isn't there yet. Sure against a team like Dallas where it would be wide open, TT would be a great idea. Again the Blues of the world? Terrible fit.

Dirty knee on knee by Bertuzzo the other night. Glad Teuvo is ok to go.

One more hour until puck drop!

 

So glad it's not an 830 game

Who's ready?

Let's f***ing go

Would it kill us to score first?

Looks like the whistles are going to stay in the pockets. Need to adjust

Third period in Minnesota yesterday was so crazy to watch, but their were so many ignored infractions. Excessive interference and holding.

Game 7s are the worst...

Not the end of the world, but that goal was off a total fire drill in the defensive zone. Hawks have had some chances, looks pretty even out there, but the Hawks have basically spotted them one goal to open this game

There was a great pick set to clear that shooting lane.

I feel ok. Panarin missed a wide open net. They'll be fine

Ugh. They don't want to make it easy on themselves, do they.

Ruh roh

Keith has been a trainwreck tonight

Hawks def has been awful..

Getting completely dominated

It's on the forwards as well. No one wants to win a board battle or back check.

Nobody is helping back at all.

Hossa is so clumsy these days.

Elliott is fighting the puck too

Big goal before the break. Now don't give it back.

Hossa is so clumsy these days.

Like a fox

Panik is awesome
