Pretty sure every big game Kane has been in he's been the one to show up. He's been that way since he came into the league.

That doesn't change the fact that he's not the best player on this team like some people believe he is.

 

[KuralySnipes]

Puke. Why would they put Bergeron with Crosby?

Bergeron deserves it.

I assume you've noticed whatever line Pavelski is on has been the best, no matter who the line mates are

This. But it definitely helps that Kessel and JVR already have established chemistry.

"Anze Kopitar hasn’t been seen during the 3rd Period while Zach Parise hasn’t been seen since the 3rd Period of the Wild’s last game."

No updates on twitter yet, Ali. This cracked me up though :nod

Ok. I laughed at that one

Go look at the World and World Junior wins back in 2004 and 2005. Crosby and Bergeron played together and skated circles around everyone.

Wrong thread to discuss further.

 

[Doctyl]

Can we please use miller going forward?

No doubt, all three are playing at a high level, absolutely.

Wish we could clone Pavelski so he can be on both lines.

 

[Raspewtin]

I've been really impressed with JVR this tournament.

Well...lets be honest. The reason JVR and Orpik made the team is Kessel and Martin. The selection group can say all they want that they were chosen because of how good they are but Ryan and Johnson would have been the locks if not for the chemistry. Nothing wrong with it at all because this team is playing fantastic.

I don't remember anyone ever saying he's the best on this team. The criticism you guys are giving him is over the top when he's playing with a handicap on his line that is holding him back. Every time he's been with Parise or Pavelski he's made something happen so I don't think Kane is the whole problem

 

[Honey Bear]

No shutout.

 

[Raspewtin]

Really?

 

[EichHart]

NOO shutout =(

 

[Pavelski2112]

Hah, alright.

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

Nope

 

[BigT2002]

Goes the shutout

Great game by Slovenia. Never quit

I'm pretty sure it was Kane that was the best until Christmas or so for the Hawks, not really close. He was on fire at the beginning of the year.

 

[Paxon]

Ugh... shutout spoiler

 

[txhorn]

Quick is definitely better

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Well that sucks

Miller shutout gone with 17.6 left

 

[member 151739]

I absolutely love Miller, but I'm pretty sure he has done this several times: having his shutout broken in the dying seconds.

 

[BaileyMacTavish]

Noooooooooooo. No shut out

And against Slovenia of all places.

****!!!!

 

[Alicat]

Are you kidding me?! Miller never saw it. Great shot.
