Post-Game Talk: 1/14/14 - Hawks lose to Avs in OT.... hey, it's technically a point streak

[Kurtosis]

I'm pretty sure they have won quite a few games this year when they allowed 2 PPGA.

You're not even trying at this point.

The Chicago Blackhawks will not face the Edmonton Oilers in the playoffs.

 

[Hawkaholic]

Yup, you're right. A team scores 2 PP goals and they are guaranteed to win the game.

I don't even consider the PPGA in OT, because we won't be playing 4 on 4 in OT in the playoffs.

 

[Hawkaholic]

You're not even trying at this point.

There's really no point when talking to posters who think the sky is falling and think that the Hawks are a terrible team.

The Chicago Blackhawks won't be playing 4 on 4 in the playoffs? I guess you never heard the phrase "coincidental minors"?

Then don't respond. If you think the way the PK has been the whole season up to this point is conducive to playoff success I don't know what to tell you.

 

[Kurtosis]

The "they will magically turn it on with ease when it counts" crowd is just as ridiculous as the "sky is falling" crowd.

Yes, because that is so common. Why ruin a legitimate line of reasoning with this asinine ********?

You have no evidence to stand on whatsoever since the Chicago Blackahwks penalty killing unit has been god awful all season.

Never said it was, I just simply said they will win a lot of games the way they played last night. They can slightly fix the PK and still succeed in the playoffs.

The Chicago Blackhawks won't be playing 4 on 4 in overtime in the playoffs. The Chicago Blackhawks don't have to worry about coincidental minors because they don't happen that often.

No evidence for what? The Hawks are a top 5 team in the league, bad PK or not.

 

[Pepe Silvia]

I kind of agree, but they did magically turn it on after game 4 against Detroit last year.

 

[SLarmer28*]

No evidence for what? The Hawks are a top 5 team in the league, bad PK or not.

Basically you have no point whatsoever. Keep denying the penalty kill is atrocious and nothing has been done to correct the issue.

 

[Hawkaholic]

Not to mention, Chicago doesn't even come CLOSE to allowing 2 PPGA/gm. They don't even allow 1 PPGA/game.

Yes, the PK isn't very good, but CHI is one of the least penalized teams in the league. They aren't even coming close to averaging 2 PPGA/GM, so it's not even worth arguing.

 

[Hawkaholic]

We have exactly 8 more PPGA than the #8 PK team in the league....OH THE HORROR!!!!

 

[SLarmer28*]

More like Jimmy Howard stopped standing on his head.

 

[SLarmer28*]

It's obvious, you are in complete denial.

 

[Pepe Silvia]

More like Jimmy Howard stopped standing on his head.

Or the best team in the league started playing like it.

 

[Hawkaholic]

It's obvious, you are in complete denial.

Denial of what? Ya, our PK isn't good, Chicago is still a top 5 team.

 

[Hawkaholic]

Pittsburgh had as bad of a PK as we do, last year. they made it to the ECF. They lost in the ECF because they couldn't score goals, not because their PK let them down.

 

[Kurtosis]

Pittsburgh had as bad of a PK as we do, last year. they made it to the WCF. They lost in the WCF because they couldn't score goals, not because their PK let them down.

Wait, what?

 

[Hawkaholic]

Wait, what?

ECF, my bad.

 

[SLarmer28*]

Denial of what? Ya, our PK isn't good, Chicago is still a top 5 team.

Which means nothing.

In the playoffs, the sixteen teams that qualify all start the second season 0-0.

 

[Kurtosis]

ECF, my bad.

I know you know. Just had to get a jab in.

This team would benefit a lot more from a reversal in ST rankings though.
