This is the phoenix series part two
- golfbard

It has felt eerily similar to 2012 all year long. Great start to the season, stumble the later half of the year and then an injury to Toews and possibly a suspension after some overtime games

You won't get crap from me.

Tying goal yesterday - should have had it.

Tying goal today - should have been positioned to get it.

Winning goal today - should have tightened his 5-hole - he never did get it completely shut, even after the puck was in the net.

Crawford gets no pass for these losses.

SLB...I don't post here much anymore. But they almost killed a 30 sec 5 on 3 and whole 5 min major. One more clear and that game is over with a win.

This is a complete team loss. They were comatose the first 30 plus mins. 9 penalties. And a ridiculously high head hit by Seabs when the Hwks were in control. No reason for that hit or play at all.

That psycho play by Seabs cost them this gme and maybe the series. I suspect at least 2 gmes suspension.

I want Bollig out. He was absolutely useless out there in all scenarios.
- prd797

He only had Tree Turdy Tree of ice time

If I were betting id say this series is over. Just too impossible to come back from back -to-back heart breaking losses like this...just wasn't meant to be this year. Despite whatever you wanna look at I really feel like this year is a lost cause given the Magnitude of these losses. really sucks....id beAMAZED if they recovered...jus bein real.

So you're saying if Crawford makes the save with 6 seconds left they don't win? That wasn't a hard save.
- rollpards19

let me know how that works.

No it's not.

They didn't play undisciplined crap hack hockey in any of those games.
- CaptainBlackhawk

No but just like that series the blues forecheck andmphysical play dictated the pace and the series. Two ot losses

And just like vs Phoenix, you can't score or put a team a way, and allow the opposing team, on the 2nd and third shots tie and win games..yeah much easier to blame the goalie for everyone else's inability to produce.

Turn back the clock day here.
- TrueGrit

How was today's tie and winning goals on 2nd or 3rd shots???

Now this is pretty funny. After all the banish Zus nonsense of the last two days, he was one of the best Hawks today and was outstanding on the pk.
- paulr

We normally don't take 9 penalties in 1 game. Zeus can stay in the lineup but he needs to play on the 4th line.

We've scored 6 goals in the series so far and only 1 has come from a forward. That is very worrisome and needs to change if there's any hope of turning this around. I'll be surprised if Morin isn't in the lineup on Monday. I'm not sure who will sit but it's time for a change.

TG, Crawford has played as poorly as anyone else on this team - and that's a lot of poor.

Make a big save to win a game.

Don't anyone here call the Blues goons ever again. Hawks were nothing but dirty goons today.


Not that I mind it. Making for a great series.
- bcallaway

The Blews are getting out physcalled by a finesse team. the hawks are giving hem the type of game they play every game and the Blues don't like it.

this is the way these teams have played against each other for years so what else is new. I expect a 7 game series and a hawks win

God you guys are real butt hurt. Sucks talking a lot of poop and your team being a bunch of classless bums. Now we have a kings fan on here but hurt after they got lit up in their first game. It's just hockey girls, relax!

The Kings came back from the same situation against the same team just last year. Series doesn't really start till someone loses home ice

2012 - said it early in the season. ONly difference, the hawks have a touch better pk. But still no pp when they need it. Losing in OT.

Hawks had a few chances at the empty net too on the pk, probably should have tried a little harder.

Why is CC always above any criticism??? I will never understand it....

I feel worse about this series than the Phoenix series. Just sayin'.
- prd797

True...our team this season is much better than the team that played Phoenix.

Good point...sometimes we forget this.

Then put him on a 4th line and let him kill penalties. He is your 2C. Wonder what an extra goal every other game would mean to the teams success? That is what 2C's do, they get you min 40 points seasons...that is a goal every other game. So far..no goals since you were sporting your Christmas sweater.
- TrueGrit

Curious TC, I was looking through the posts during the game and when the Blues were up you were posting more than most guys on here. As soon as the Hawks began to take over the game your posts became fewer and fewer and less critical, then after they lose you're back trumpeting how bad everything is. Are you really a Hawk fan or just an anti Blackhawk troll?

Fun!
We are resorting to second grade photogenic commentary. Good work!

EDIT: Sorry. That's a d-head comment on my part. Just po'd.

Hawk's are my second favorite team, but I'm glad they lost today... Disgraceful stuff.

- UnnamedSource

He played a solid game overall...huge save on Ott to keep it close early....the equalizer was weak, but he was screened.

Too many point shots getting through.

yes....i can't even remember him doing anything.
- UnnamedSource

Neither has Kane, Toews, Sharp, Hossa (except for a few shifts today) - one goal by a forward in 8+ periods.

Handzus was good enough on the PK that he'll play Monday.
- StLBravesFan

They really need some youth right now - Zeus had his lay on the puck moments towards the end of the game but
Regin Morin and Brookbank should all be in Monday...

Ive been preaching that narrative all season here

No, went on tape delay for a while with a family function. Make sure you take off the Zues jersey and hang her up before you eat. Don't want to stain it!

- laughs2907

So unlike the Hawks of many years past...That's what has me so angry. When they've actually played THEIR game this series, they've been clearly the better team.
