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

[Beef Invictus]

Comparable to when Ray Bourque won the Cup in 2001, which took him 1,612 regular-season and 214 post-season NHL games to get?

That was just practice for this occasion.

Crawford is the worst good goalie I've seen win multiple Cups. He looks terrible for stretches but when it matters most he locks it down.

Chris Osgood, Detroit Red Wings, good comparison I saw this week. Ok goalie on elite team who raises his game when it matters.

I have to admit, I thought the Hawks fans at the United Center would be a little louder than they seem to be.


Almost like they are in shock. Probably feels surreal.

 

[Teemu]

Groin tear for Bishop, BTW

 

[Del Preston]

Is Versteeg going to rap at the parade again?

 

[SpookyTsuki]

Bishop had a torn groin.

And yet Tampa still had a capable/better goalie sitting on the bench

 

[JaegerDice]

Chicago has good defensemen and Crawford had a good series but they really did nothing inspiring offensively the whole series. Tampa wasted tons of opportunities and definitely should have won 2 of the games they lost.

Johnson should have been dropped to a lower line and Namestikov or someone should have taken that spot.

Johnson was just useless and he cost Kucherov at least 3 assists in the series.

And Stamkos is a bonehead that doesn't have the iq to make adjustments against a smart defensive team. And just failed in every way possible.

Huh, the guy named Rossiya, thinks the key to a Tampa victory would have been more time for one Russian player, Johnson screwed over another Russian player, and Stamkos is a moron.

Right.

 

[RedBaronIndian]

So proud of this team.

 

[Al Secord Forever]

Nice words for hedman from kane there

Mad respect there. You can tell that Chicago wishes they could play Tampa next year in the final. No dirty nonsense, great hockey, great coaching and a hell of a final.

 

[Kronwalled8*]

Bickell. GTFO of the building.

 

[hockeykicker]

means nothing but he was injured after all
oh well pointless to talk about now

 

[Random Forest]

Groin tear for Bishop, BTW

That'll do it.

Does Scotty Bowman have a job with the Hawks or is he just there to cheer on his son?

he is a senior adviser for the hawks

 

[Hank Plank]

Scotty bowman with another ring, what a legend!!!

He's won 14.

 

[Daisy Jane]

Does Scotty Bowman have a job with the Hawks or is he just there to cheer on his son?

I think he's like Cliff Fletcher.
but cooler because he's Scotty Bowman.

No, they're just used to it. You can even see some of the players seem to just be skating around like "whatever, nothing to see here".

 

[Eowin]

It;s pretty hard to hate the Hawks.

 

[JaegerDice]

Chris Osgood, Detroit Red Wings, good comparison I saw this week. Ok goalie on elite team who raises his game when it matters.

Crawford was the best player on the Blackhawks in 3 of their 4 wins this series, and he was a huge factor in closing out the series against Anaheim. Never mind owning Minnesota (as always).

Crawford's job description may be 'don't lose the game', but he's won a TON of games for the Blackhawks, especially this season.

 

[Juzmo]

Bishop had a torn groin.

Quite the trooper.

 

[SpookyTsuki]

Scotty bowman with another ring, what a legend!!!

How many rings does this madman have

 

[HockeyAllDaWay]

I did say Hawks in six on the first pool lol.

 

[Belamorte]

Why is Kane the only person that cant put his hat on the right way around?

 

[Kronwalled8*]

Cant wait for this again lol

 

[Holocene]

lol Carcillo

 

[Sonofamitch]

Makes sense. And definitely way cooler than Fletcher.
