[No Fun Shogun]

Who would've guessed that just about everyone except Crawford would have rust?

Awful bounce there at the end. Crawford played well

No points for Kane in two straight games. Time to trade him.

 

[Nothingman*]

21 of the players had rust. Craw did not.

 

[Marina]

Why does this team always play like crap in front of Crawford? Really don't get it. Not many highlights to this game, except Crawford of course. PK looked better at least.

 

[The Frenchman]

awful effort. defense was ****. the **** was that?

 

[Fortyfives]

Had to see that OT end coming...

 

[PeterForsberg]

I was watching this game as an outsider waiting for intermission to end, but did the Islanders impress anyone else?

 

[Salvaged Ship]

Great shot to finish it. We didn't deserve a point tonight, Crawford and Ben Smith were the only bright spots.

 

[Pepe Silvia]

It blows that NY won, but it seems fitting that Okposo would get the game winner after missing out on Team USA. I think the Islanders fans were chanting U-S-A.

And Crawford was a beast. That save towards the end of the third was huge.

The freakin Islanders! WTH!

They did me. They played very well.

Better team won. What an absolutely pathetic display from the Blackhawks.

A little bit of professionalism and a little bit of pride of play would have gone a long way tonight.

Thanks to Crow for securing us the loser point we didn't deserve.

This team's inability to string together 60 minute efforts for several games in a row continues to be concerning. Maybe somebody should ban them from reading their own press.

The freakin Islanders! WTH!

They beat the Bruins, too.

 

[wingnutks]

Both goalies played awesome! Sick performance for his first game back!

Yes. Tavares and Okposo especially

meanwhile St. Louis is kicking ass & taking names.
They'll overtake us soon.

Hello #3 seed.

Isle is playing well of late. Maybe they are getting into the form they were during the playoffs last year. They were flying. But they cannot double shift the first line half the game all year if that is what it is going to take. They rode that horse to the win.

 

[Salvaged Ship]

Blues smoking LA, going to be tough to hold them off the rest of the way. May have to go through their home ice in the playoffs, though I still feel confident we take them out.

No effort in GDT. No effort by the Hawks. Coincidence?

Hello #3 seed.

Where were we in 2010??

I hope you're implying that you will make one. I have no ideas besides the one I'm doing against the Canadiens.

Half the crowd would be Hawks fans. That would be a badass series

Hello #3 seed.

Who cares what seed we are heading into the playoffs? We know that the path to the Cup runs through St. Louis and one of the California teams.

This is the Western Conference. There are no easy matchups, even in the first round. Does it really matter if we meet Dallas, Minnesota or Vancouver first?
