Post-Game Talk: Game 3: Crow gets the shutout, series now 2-1, Hawks shell finally doesn't break

[Zamadoo]

Blues fan here, coming in peace.

I was just wondering who will be replacing Seabrook? The first name that popped in my head was David Rundblad, but that's just because he was a Blues 1st round draft pick (and later traded for the pick that became Tarasenko).

Oops. Just realized I led you all astray. Game is on CNBC nationally not NBCSN.

The self-righteous martyr complex Blues fans are displaying is something to behold. Even more incredible is the lapdogs on this site eating it all up.

The main board and the playoff board are such a mess/joke that I don't even notice anymore.

 

[BigClemMacdonald]

hahahahahaha hilarious GDT.

Jim Ross definitely would have said that Backes was broken in half lol

 

[Cullksinikers]

Hoping the Hawks are doing this after the game:

A must win if there ever was one

Since I was 7 (in '93) the Blues have been gooning it up, later on with Pronger, and now. I am getting sick of the Hawks trying to outmuscle a more physical team, just play your own game and none of this stuff happens. A dominant win tonight would be great, I can't take another OT loss... It's starting to remind me of that Yotes series a couple years ago...

Exactly. Just play your game, possess the puck, outskate, score goals, win the game, call it a day. Enough with this nonsense. These guys are grown men so they need to take some responsibility for themselves, but some of that falls on the coaching staff too. Call a timeout if you have to and settle the guys down and tell them to get back to doing what you do normally. Just ready to move on and get to tonight's game and on with the series.

That's exactly what the message needs to be tonight by Q. Get back to Chicago Blackhawks hockey and focus on transition hockey, puck possession, and lets pepper Miller with shots. Leave the Blues bait on the hook.

It's hard to keep the puck with so little line chemistry. Saad/Versteeg have been playing like 3rd/4th liners. Zus is Zus the offense killer. Kane and Shaw don't scream domination on the cycle either. That's why the fourth line usually looks so good..One real center, a gritty winger, and a power goon.

 

[Ben Grimm]

Nice GDT. The next 3 games will prove that you guys are right and I'm wrong, that Hammer is > Cbrook, and the Hawks will go 3-0!

 

[Bring Back GLR]

Part of me thinks the Blues will spend the night chasing Toews, Kane and Keith and trying to hurt them but I also think Hitch will rein his guys in and keep em cool. If the Blues do go vigilante then I really hope the Hawks PP can come to life and make them regret it.

 

[Blue Liner]

I actually feel like this game will get toned down as far as the nonsense and go back to just being normal playoff nonsense, if that makes any sense. Too many "sense" usages there.

But no, I think things will be a normal, heated playoff game for this game, and I expect the officiating is probably going to at least start out really tight. I have zero doubt the league and/or officiating director had a say about what's going on in this game/series going forward.

 

[zytz]

It is hilarious. I've had a lot of laughs from reading the playoff board this morning. The big, bad Hawks pushing around the weak, little Blues.

yeah the irony has had me rolling


those big-bully big-meanie bwackhawks brained our poor poor saint backes and even mommy's hugs can't stop these tears

 

[MTP]

Going to the game tonight, sitting in section 324. Hawks are undefeated in the post season with me in the building. Coincidence? Absolutely.

Anyone else going and want to meet up for a beer?

I wish I was going tonight. Then again, every time I'm at the UC they end up losing.

I may have been responsible for us having to back into the playoffs at the end of the 2010-11 season.

Let's Go Hawks! Brie Larson Magic.

Who is the wrestler in Hawks stuff?

Stopped watching wrestling at close of 90's

Also could have gone the Rockers path with Seabrook/Keith

Keith = Michaels
Seabrook = Jannetty

CM Punk, Chicago native and Hawks fan. Not even Photoshopped there, he was wearing Hawks gear.

What should we expect? Well probably...AS USUAL, CC lets one in early..in first shot or first 5 shots...first ten at the very latest...whatever..we will be behind..Again! Lament of most of 2014..

Also do not expect much from our 2 glamour boys...so if we are gonna won,it will have to be sharp and Hossa erupting with starry games...but still I fear the Country Club infection ran too deep into this team and so they really want to get to the golf course rather than do another run grind..

But the bright side of going out in 4 straight..which h will happen if they still cannot flip the switch tonight(next game will be a formality) ...is that our splendid marketing dept. Will be selling Ackhawks Crotch-Grabbers personally autographed by Q and his inept lolliggagers ...and YOU can have them for the amazing price of ONLY $199.99 in order to fund Rockwell's pain of ONLY porting $10.4 million from ONLY 2 home games( $8 million a game less 35% cut to the NHL)...he could have pocketed so much more diner..if only his vaunted team had found and flipped that lousy switch.. but they lost it at the end of December and have just not been the REAL Blackhawks since.. Pity poor Rocky..he will just have to make due with a paltry $10 million + when the REAL Blackhhawks might have provide him with 8-10 times that..yep..ya just might need to drown his sorrows by grabbing those official Blackhhawks Crotch-Grabbers when inevitably they will hit the market after our golfersss bow out..probably sooner than later given that our go to stars just ain't producing..

I agree. I'd like to see the lines change a bit. First, I'd go with lines below. If that didn't spark the offense then I'd swap Bickell with Saad and Hossa with Kane.

Saad-Toews-Hossa
Sharp-Handzus-Kane
Bickell-Shaw-Versteeg
Bollig-Kruger-Smith
