GDT: WCF Game 1: Chicago Blackhawks at Anaheim Ducks, SUN MAY 17, 2015, 2:00 PM CDT

[G0AT]

See you guys Tuesday.

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

What a terrible effort in the third period

 

[WJSN]

This is the worst I've seen Toews play in quite a while.

 

[ItWasJustified]

lol at that no-look pass from Seabrook and then later he kamikaze pinches

 

[Backyard Hockey]

88 and 19 were horrible today

As was 20

 

[Kurtosis]

Nope

Hawks lack of defensive depth was on display for world to see and that is why they have lost

And its 4-1 Ducks

Nope. You're completely wrong like usual. The Hawks had more chances the whole game and Andersen stopped them. Crawford didn't.

 

[marco1475]

how could johns, cumsiky be worse than #5 today with what 10 minutes and 2 goals...for the ducks and Kimmo who Q refuses to play....

"How could anybody be worse than Rozsival?" It's the same question. No matter how bad somebody plays, you can find somebody to play worse (Maybe Cumiskey would help the Ducks score 3 goals in 10 minutes?)

Q loves vets. He clearly doesn't trust 44, but do you really think Cumiskey, or Johns with no NHL experience, would get more ice time than 44?

 

[EmeticDonut]

I blame this on the long lay-off. Hawks should be better in game 2. And they need to figure out a better distribution on the icetime for the D. I can see it costing them the series.

 

[Any Colour You Like]

Nope

Hawks lack of defensive depth was on display for world to see and that is why they have lost as Ducks made them pay for dressing Rundblad. Thanks Stan!

And its 4-1 Ducks

The Bowman sucks shtick is getting really old.

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

88 and 19 were horrible today

As was 20

I will agree with this. Pretty bad effort from them all.

 

[Kurtosis]

And I really hope #5 doesn't see the ice in game 2. **** is he ever garbage.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Crawford chant?

I know LA sports fans are idiots but ummm it was an empty netter

 

[Salvaged Ship]

Not worried. If we lose game 2 then I will be worried........

 

[1420]

19 couldn't control the puck all night and 88 made several poor passes. 20 and 29 were invisible. And we're going to need more than average Corey if we want to advance. That said, I was pleased with the offensive possession and scoring chances. This loss is nowhere near as discouraging as the Nashville losses were.

 

[JaegerDice]

Blackhawks are going to have a hard time winning if #20 and #88 are the two worst forwards on the ice.

 

[WJSN]

Disappointing loss

But let's not overreact here

 

[Kurtosis]

Is Saad injured? Because he has been hot garbage the last few games.

 

[Kurtosis]

I cannot imagine #88 and #19 playing that poorly in game 2. If they had even somewhat decent games the score may have turned out differently.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

16 shots after the first period and that includes 2 power plays.

Runblad was terrible

Crawford was bad

Sharp was invisible.

Toews, Kane and Saad all played their worst games. On the same day

 

[G0AT]

Overreaction incoming.

 

[CallMeShaft]

It'd be nice if Hawks can take advantage of the wealth of scoring opportunities they will have from now on. Outplay the ducks the whole god damn game and all you can muster is a single goal? **** off.

I still like our chances this series, but dissapointed in how we lost today.

 

[ndgt10]

A championship team still wins games when they play poorly. Anaheim did that.

That's deep bro.

 

[Gootie]

That's deep bro.

If you're not gonna win 13 straight to win the Cup, why even show up?

 

[marco1475]

What worries me is not that 5 was bad - as I stated above I think people underestimate the fact that he is the best we've got left - but that even though we had more possession, more shots, I don't remember that many amazing saves from Anderson, other than the pad save on Kane at the beginning.

So from my perspective it wasn't a goalie win. Ducks simply defended much better and neutered most of our chances before they even got to Andersen
