SCF Game 6: Tampa Bay Lightning @ Chicago Blackhawks, MON 6/15, 7PM CDT NBC, CBC, TVA

Fair to say difference in this series is chicagos 3rd and 4th lines?

 

[illpucks]

This game has not disappointed.

Wonder which will end up the better game? This game or Game 5 Kings - Rangers (last finals game last year 2OT).

2 posts from being 2-1. What's your point?

Ipso facto

I don't want to argue with people but when I read posts saying Bishop is playing well I wonder what they are watching. Bishop has been all over the place this game.

I've been polishing the most overrated player on planet earth trophy for 3 months now.

 

[Captain And Coke]

His point would still stand.

Hedman can't hold off the entire 'Hawks offense himself. I think he's had a monster finals series and he's the biggest reason the Hawks haven't ever won by more than one goal all series long. That puts him on Keith's level defensively in my opinion.

It would only seem right for TB to get at least one.

They will, and that scares me.

You have to admit a goal there is huge; 2-0 going into the 3rd with all the momentum on the Hawk's side. Would have been game over.

4th line for sure, yes.

Yup, they have been great.

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

Hawks fans can thank Crawford. Good series guys.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

A one goal game in the third period of an elimination game in the SCF?

If you ask Hawks fans, each second will feel like an eternity.

If you ask Bolts fans, each minute will only seem like a mere second.

 

[These Are The Days]

Well Hawks fans you've now been witness of the **** show that is Andrej Sustr. About 5 feet out of position away from the ****ing rebound. Kid possibly just cost us the Cup. For some reason Cooper throws this **** bag out there every time we are in the defensive zone or when Toews is on the ice.

 

[BonMorrison]

Lightning are done.

Let's move onto the more pressing news that FF7 IS BEING REMADE.

 

[KCC]

It shows the benefit of playing clean. Refs give you the benefit of the doubt

Yup. Bolts have barely had the puck, so unless it would be offensive zone penalties the Bolts fans have nothing to complain about. Hawks have dominated this game and should have at least 5 goals by now.

Hawks will probably sit back to protect the lead and it will be the only way Tampa gets their chances. Because they've had next to nothing since the Stamkos post back in the first.

I think the real difference is Johnson has been useless. Stamkos being like that was more expected.

I think an adjustment should have been made a few games back. Instead its same old same old.

Hawks would have probably swept if Crawford didn't **** the bed at first. Kinda sad really.

I thought posts are just missed shots? Oh, it's only that way when it's for an opposing team.

 

[Kcoyote3]

Tampa is so done.

 

[Igright]

Chicago: one period from the triumph.

 

[WJSN]

Lightning are done.

Is that true? OMG OMG OMG OMG

My favorite game of all time

Game has been pretty even so far... not sure why you think the Hawks are dominating. All of their momentum came at the end of the second and from powerplays.

I don't think I was sober enough during each game to make a fair judgement.

Right now my personal bias favors this one.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Johnson has disappeared (injured for sure?)
Stamkos -- I don't even understand it.
TB defense never was their 'strong point', outside of Hedman in my mind.
Bishop -- average goalie, above average size (injured?)

Too many things going against them, some of which are the TB team shooting itself in the foot costing them 1-2 wins this series.

Now when Chicago is truly clicking (aside from Kane and #5/6 defensemen) TB needs everything going their way and it's not.

Chicago on a different level. TB just needs a good bounce to send it to OT, but... Chicago is deserving this Cup right now.

 

[Rossiya*]

Yes I realize Johnson is injured. So why keep playing the guy and not make an adjustment.
