Hawks might get these three straight wins, but they won't be quick. Game 4 is tomorrow, game 5 is Saturday, and game 6 is on Monday. I hate the two day break between games 4 and 5.

Yes, leaving in a mopey depression following every loss is the true test of fandom.
When they're eliminated, Ill do my mourning. Til then Ill leave the 'you must suffer to be true!' Fan types to their self-flaggelation.
Guys what he is saying is- the loss would be so unbearable that the 100$ would at least sooth him. It's because he wants to win so badly, he'd gladly lose the 100.
If it was game 7 in the finals 500$ wouldn't make me feel better but at least it's better than just the crushing blow.

Don't care how they do it, just want three more wins before they spend a couple months golfing.

We are very fortunate there's a break, don't forget we do not have the luxury of having 6 quality D at the moment.
Keith, Seabs, Hammer & Johnny O have no other choice but to be overused......extra rest is a precious thing.
Many, many HF posters on the main are amazed at what these 4 have done....hats off to them

Man, you're really making a strong case for Strawman of the Year.
Agree with that, backs are against the wall and don't want to be down 3 to 1, who cares about 2 days rest? that should not be on any Hawk players mind, only winning and every player given plenty of ice time better be dragging when it's over , if not and result is bad well maybe just not hungry enough perhaps, we will see.
For what it's worth...
Heard John Tortorella on the radio this morning, he thinks this goes 7 games, did'nt give his opinion on who would win.
Then tuned in this afternoon to hear Barry Melrose & Steve Levy, interesting take... Barry said he picks Hawks in 6 or 7 (don't know if he was serious or not but damn i hope he's right).
Barry & Steve once owned their own team at one time, lost some dough, had to fire their Coach, etc. seemed like a great experience for them.
Wendel Clark & Joe Kocur are his Cousins, he also appeared in SlapShot 2, pretty sure he played with Mark Messier when he was young.
Right now i am a bit nervous like after game 3 vs Ducks and same during WCF last year and after game 3 vs B's....my fear of losing is greater than the joy of winning, just how i am , i hate losing.
My Dad thinks i'm nuts as he could give a crap.
Let's see what Hawks are made of yet again.

I'm going purely on memory here, but in the Summer after a Cup win this board is pretty much the same as it is now. Toned down a little bit for sure, but the whiners are still whiners.
The same people that say things like "If we win the Cup it's all fine" will be saying "This is not fine, we're in a mess right now" during our cap purge of mostly pieces we didn't need and are improving by removing them.

Not concerned at all. Hawks lost a game 5 after splitting the first four last round for the first time in 7 seasons. Kings defied history last year playing 3 game 7s on route to the scf and they defied history also in 2012 becoming the first 8 seed to win the cup. Boston in 2011 became the first team since the penguins in 92 to win the cup after having played a game 7 in round 1. Stats like these are meant to be broken. A stat that matters more is the hawks record in games 4-7 in q era. Of course the first stat I mentioned mattered a lot as well, so we'll see I guess.
Every championship team has to overcome some sort of adversity, I'm not gonna get my panties in a bunch over that stupid stat that means absolutely nothing.
Hawks are going to win the Cup.
Why shouldn't we be optimistic?
Hawks all the time get better as series goes on, Star Players produce when it matters. Crawford let in another stinker again, but he still has made some good saves. Confident that he can stop them.
Bolts might think they've won already. That they already knocked out the Hawks.
Game 4 will be different. Not to mention that the Hawks have all the Talent and can always win another road game.
cry cry they suck
cry cry Stan has done a bad Job
cry cry Q is a bad Coach
that's all some do... whining and crying.
I'll be sad if we lose - being optimistic or pessimistic

My concern is with how they lost not that they lost.
They dominated a huge chunk of that first period then seemingly just coasted the rest of the way. Not seeing that fire from a lot of the guys and that's was pisses me off.
It's time to play like this is the Stanley Cup, because hey it is, and not like it's some throw away game in Phoenix in December

watch the game, everything else is noise
I watched the second half of Monday's game again last evening. The conclusion is: TB stole that game. It was far more obvious watching after the fact.

Take advantage of our golden opportunities and Hawks are up 2-1 right now. No doubt they will be the better team here on out, just need to capitalize.
I have a bad feeling that this series might end at the UC in game 6 and not in the way we all hope. A karmic payback, if you wish, for the 'Hawks winning both Cups on the opposing teams' turf ...

Well strike that feeling right out of there.
The future is still to be written and we as fans have a part to play.
