What do you mean by non sense? What I said was spot on if you go look at the replay. Also if you read the whole thing you would not write that. I dont care what his final numbers were, that goal just can not go in, why was he down when there was no shot on net or even an attempt of a shot? he was sooo out of position, it was not a trick play or anything so what is the explanation behind it? Please go watch the replay and come back to talk to me.
Even if goal 2 was saveable--he only let in 2 goals. Meanwhile...it looked like only Shaw was crashing the net--in spite of how virtually ever single goal in this series has been scored. VanDresen was seeing just about everything.Do you even understand how goalies move?
10/10 times, any goalie in the league will get down to move to the post for that shot.
Please watch more hockey before trying to say our best player on the ice last night was the reason we lost.
bye.
can I complain about Patrick Sharp? he hasn't been pelted with a tomato yet by any posters as far as I can tell but darn it the Hawks need him to score already.
He does need to be the sniper we've come to expect. But what did you expect from him last night with who he was skating with? That line had no chance of ever working.

The Ducks O was willing to get dirty. The 'hawks weren't and the only line willing to do so was broken up for the sake of being broke up. What I woldn't give for Stan to pull a Strother Martin at this point...
Did he score with the other 2 guys?
Time for these high paid big guns to show up and score goals.
No, but he was a much bigger threat to.
Sure. But he didn't score, and he needs to. Just like the other big guns.
At the end of the day, you can complain about Q putting 3rd and 4th line players in and out of the lineup all you want, and with good reason. But as long as Toews, Kane, Hossa, Sharp,and Saad continue to not score, this team isn't winning anything no matter who is in the lineup on the lower lines.
So put him with two guys that will decrease his chances too? Doesn't sound too smart to me, but then again I am not paid to coach the Chicago Blackhawks.

Our top players are being out played by their top players, fact. Sure, in 1 game their bottom 6 outplayed our bottom 6, just like last game in favour of Chicago. But my point is, if our big guns don't step it up and score, no matter what line they are up against, we are in deep doo doo no matter who is filling out the rest of the line-up.True, and they should have been put in a position to do so last night, but they weren't.
By making the changes Q did on the bottom lines, and not using his last change advantage properly, he not only destroyed the bottom 2 lines but effectively neutered the top 2 lines as well by matching them up with the Ducks preferred match ups.
Look the Hawks didn't play well and the Ducks did. Don't discount the Ducks playing an almost perfect road playoff game. But this loss is squarely on Q and he knows it. Not only does he and his team know it, but so does Boudreau and the Ducks.
I don't know what the Ducks give to their best player after a win, like the Hawks do with their championship belt. But whatever it is I bet they gave it to Q in absentia.
And I am on my knees nightly thanking God for that.
OK fine, Patrick Sharp shouldn't be expected to score (making 5.9mil) playing with 3rd liners, so let's ignore his lack of goals no matter who he plays with, really.
Let's focus on the other big guns, where are they?

I didn't see last nights game, so I can't comment on specifics of it, but what I do know is the big money guys need to start earning their dough.
I was just saying we'll ignore Sharp struggling because he played 1 game with a couple of guys he had a smaller chance of scoring with.Where did I say that? Stop making **** up.
Everyone needs to step up.
You shouldn't be talking. You literally cannot grasp a simple concept such as icing optimal lineups.
Your check from Q is in the mail. Don't forget to endorse it.
