[Hoek]

Annnnnnnnnnnd I glanced at the main board and immediately remembered why I've been abstaining from discussion there.

The salt and ******** is immense. You can sense the doubt in them big time.

Just remember to do what I do; jab and move. Jab and move. Jab and move.

ES scoring chances:

Chi: 15
TBL: 24

Blame the refs !

It will be interesting to see how the match ups shake up in Chicago. I expect a couple of high scoring games up there.

[DaBolts]

Woot!

When he turns 21, I want to buy that man a beer.

 

[VinikToWinIt]

This is a moot point now, but was I the only one who thought the goal where Hossa may or may not have interfered was total horse ****?

It looked like he DEFINITELY got Bishop's leg with his stick, then his skate before the puck went by him.

We have to be optimistic, Paquette's line faced Toews' line and finished even. It's a match-up Quenneville would usually take every day of the week but the Paquette boys are stepping up to the plate big time.

 

[Hoek]

I thought it was legal at first but the more I look at it the more I don't like it.

 

[The Gongshow]

This made me laugh for some reason. C'mon Hedman get your **** together.

They just showed the replay and he hooked his leg. What was worse was when the Chicago player crashed Bishop's shoulder into the goalpost early in the 3rd period (no call of course) and that appears to be the injury.

 

[dechire]

Yay great win. Hope Bishop is okay. Of course Sustr took a stupid penalty like 2 seconds after Vasy got on Yay Vasy for standing tall and getting the win. Glad to see TKO back to TKOing. Callahan had a great game I thought including that one ridiculous sliding defensive play. Drouin looked good. I barely even noticed Carle existing. I'm really happy with this game

Refs need a dictionary and look up at the definition of interference. That's EXACTLY what Hossa did.

They should of been a plus 1, that goal against should not have counted, Bishop was clearly interferred with. We won, so it does not matter but talking about stats and how they played it should be brought up since they did really shut down Kane and Toews again.

So in reality when we are not getting ****ed by the refs again, that line was great!

 

[snowden]

Woot!

Should be a shot of Vodka

 

[DaBolts]

Should be a shot of Vodka

If he's a real Russian, he nursed on that.

 

[LightningStrikes]

We only had 2 SOG in the 3rd.

NHL networks post game analyst say it was definitely goaltender interference for whatever that is worth.....................................

That line is hungry and wants to eat captain intangibles alive, you can feel it.

 

[snowden]

I definitely thought it was interference on Bishop. Stick pushed his leg back before the puck got there, I don't care if Hossa was tied up or outside the blue paint. I also don't think Bishop was stopping that shot anyway. His glove was very slow on it. I don't see that as something they would ever call in the SCF unless it was us on offense.

Good bounce back game. Still a little pissed that we could be up 2-0 but we could also just as easily be down 2-0 so I'll take it.

Game 3 is the most important game in the lives of every single one of those Bolts players. Can't go down 2-1, need at least a split in Chicago. Come out and play hard like they have and well maybe Stamkos will show up for once.

 

[Leonardo87]

I think they are finding chemistry now, and are getting better and better. I was all about putting Drouin on that line, but not anymore, think they have a good thing going and Coop is giving them top 6 mins, which they deserve.

We need Callahan back, Stamkos has disappeared again. If that 3rd line can bring the offense again, then we will still be ok.

It's great coaching there, Cooper found the right role for them, they seem to thrive in that checking role. All of 3 together never looked this good in the playoffs IMO.

It was 100% goalie interference but it was a bang bang play. Next year with replay that would never have been a goal.

 

[Hictor Vedman*]

So happy that we won. That game was too dangerous. I just kind of hated how CBC took away from the game entirely as soon as Bishop started to leave. They kept pointing to the Luongo incident a while ago, when he had some bathroom problems. No doubt everybody's been hearing about that talk by now, but CBC really harped on it until Healy or someone else detected Hossa's collision was the culprit.

It probably should not have been allowed. What is important though, is that we fought through it. A lot of times in the past, we have fallen apart after a bad goal was allowed. It is just another example of how this team continues to grow.

19 in Canada!
