Good luck trying to shadow a magician. No one player can touch him.
Attempt to shadow Kane and then Keith, Hossa, Toews and Seabrook will eat you up (not saying that are all on the ice at the same time, but you get what I mean).
The core group is so insanely offensively talented that they can just overwhelm a team when they dig deep.

Honestly I don't think we need another "Kane is good in the playoffs" thread.. but he does seem to have this thing where he disappears in the earlier rounds and shows up when adversity rears its ugly head and people are calling him out.
He's a treat to watch when he's on, last night's GWG was incredible stuff. When he's off he can be incredibly frustrating, like the other games in this series.

Henry, you're our only hope!
If I were the Ducks I would force Getzlaf to watch tape of Kane elevating his game continuously until Game 7 begins.
Could learn a thing or two about how to step up in big games. 9 closeout/elimination games as the C = -7 2 assists.

Todd McLellan is an inside agent
Nearly single-handedly won the series vs. the Kings last year when we went nuts on the back end. Seems to get stronger as a series goes along. Total houdini. Magician is a perfect descriptor.

That's why the only way to beat the Hawks is by outscoring them. I don't mean that in the "of course you have to outscore every team to win" kind of way, but in the "you most likely have to score 4 or 5 goals to win" kind of way.
Maybe if he hadn't disappeared completely in the early stages of that series (1 point in 4 games), his team wouldn't have been down 1-3, thus giving Chicago a chance to advance. If a player is oh so clutch, he doesn't lead his team into such a hole that even great performances aren't enough to get them back out.
Kane has definately shown that he can perform well in the playoffs, but that series is completely overrated. Fail completely in the early stages and then put in big performances to bring the team back only to fall short in the end, "what a clutch player", deliver strong performances while your team cruises through the round, no one says a word.

Ducks had shadowed him really well games 1-3. Games 4-6 as other players began to pick up the slack in scoring, the Ducks understandably shifted coverage off him a bit, and he made them pay.
Hopefully more of the same in game 7
So he is statisticly estimated to put up 3 points? So Chicago starts with a 3-0 lead even before the game has begun...
LOLLLL!
But he's certainly the best forward in the league when you count both the playoffs and the regular season (And the Olympics).

The Ducks have been playing their best shutdown players against Toews all series, like every team does. Unless you're suggesting they started shadowing Richards? It's ok to say Kane didn't play very well in the first 5 games, because he didn't. He was dominant in game 6 though, and I expect him to be dominant again tonight.
