Pre-Game Talk: Hawks @ Kings | 06.04.13 | 8:00 CT

in a way they have been.

I see you went to the Crosby/Ovechkin school of one-way offensive hockey.

Pumped for this game, but also worried. Still don't trust Brown and his elbows flying around. Especially scared since I'd imagine the fans will be extra pumped trying to show support, and the Kings coming out trying to run everyone thru the glass for the first ~5 minutes.

um, no...i just don't think either have been particularly good during the playoffs.

I hope they come out taking runs...lots of open ice and we all know what the Hawks do with open ice.

Win a game in LA and the Hawks are golden

I expect Kings to come out and play there best hockey tonight.. If Hawks can steal this game it will go a long way towards deflating the Kings

If they win this game it will have already deflated them. I am going to go out on a limb and say that there is no way that the Kings are going to take 4 straight from the Hawks.

I just get nervous for Kane, even though he almost always find a way to dodge the hit... It still makes my stomach turn when you see a guy like Clutterbuck just flying around trying to throw a hit.

It would be nice to see best vs. best, but it usually never goes that way. I think the Kings would love to play against your team without Hossa, Kane or Toews.

For a neutral observer, yes. I admit I was happy when I heard Richards was out last game. One less big hitter to worry about for one thing. Speaking of, Hawks need to keep the head up against Brown. He's out to injure.

Just found out the bar I'm watching at tonight has a 135'' screen.

Alright guys, it took us 50 years to win our first President's Cup in a 6 team league and 93 years to win our 4th SC so let's not go nuts if Quick plays better and they win 1 game in this series.

Need to take one in LA. It'd be pretty nice to have a 3-0 stranglehold on them, but they're going to be a different team tonight.

You're not seriously asking people to see the big picture, are you?

I'll be in my recliner about 6 feet from my 62" with the surround going.

Pool table for between periods.

Love my cave.

If Hawks lose tonight, it's how they play that's important to me. Make LA play their best hockey to do so ... keep that doubt in their minds and don't give them anything.

Don't even need to take one. But it would be preferable, as would two.
