GDT: WCF Game 2: Chicago @ Anaheim Part 2

[Ace Rothstein]

Obvious off day tomorrow

Today is tomorrow.

 

[ploppsdman]

Timonen is done. Tossed around all game. Chickens come home to roost for Chicago wasting the depth they had: Stanton.. Clendening.. Dahlback.. And wasting development on Rundblad.

Cumisky was fine.

 

[BrianE]

I think it was a "must" win. Anaheim is too organized with the way they play for us to come back from 0-2.

Would be very tough for sure.

 

[BK]

Oddly enough I thought Timonen got better as game went along

Cumiskey seemed to struggle in OT's but overall was upgrade over #5

I agree. Maybe he is getting his legs under him? Maybe I am just hopeful.

Keith - 49:51
Seabrook - 47:46
Hjalmarsson - 47:35
Oduya - 46:06
Cumiskey - 18:34
Timonen - 16:45

Crawford 60 saves

HUGE win, mostly because this gives us home ice which is proving to be pivotal thus far in the series. Both coaches have been playing the matchup battle back and forth.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

On paper I should go to bed. I'm wide awake.

 

[CPHawksFan]

I love when the Hawks demoralize teams in multiple OT games

Blonde sportscaster babe interviewing Shawzie. He clearly just looked down her shirt.

Keith - 49:51
Seabrook - 47:46
Hjalmarsson - 47:35
Oduya - 46:06
Cumiskey - 18:34
Timonen - 16:45

Crawford 60 saves

That's hillarious.

How did we win this game????

That was probably the ugliest win I can recall, Anaheim should have won about 5 times.

But we got a lot of help from Corey Crawford (as well as Corey Crossbar ), and sometimes I can't help but think this team is a little bit magical. Just keep finding ways to win games they shouldn't.

Hoping the boys can get some good rest tomorrow. The UC crowd will be a nice boost, and despite the puck possession domination by the Ducks coming back to Chicago tied 1-1 is about as much as we can ask for. This is a really good team they're playing, the Hawks need to step it up for the next two games.

Bickell is awful. Seriously, get him out of there. Tonight may have been the worst game of his career. Saad really needs to step up too, and Kane is still MIA for the moment. If those guys can get it together, I like our chances.

Krüger... garbage Goal... who the hell cares

I must have looked like a fool jumping around @work

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Shaw was great too.

The 4th line showed up BIG time.

Oduya was great and Shaw had arguably his best game of the year.

Krüger... garbage Goal... who the hell cares

Kruger and the 4th line have been good the whole playoffs

Krüger... garbage Goal... who the hell cares

I must have looked like a fool jumping around @work

When he scored I thought "Bubba's buddy"

 

[BrianE]

I'd rather have been Smith but 11 has played just fine.

Great person but struggled so much this season.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

I am genuinely exhausted after that.

Our 4th line was expectational tonight. Crawford kept us in the game big time.

Not sure how long we can carry the 3rd line though.

Whatever though, 1-1 taking it the UC. Very happy

3rd line was great in OT

The 2nd is the issue. Hopefully 88 shows up big at home. He clearly missed the flight to Anaheim.

Timonen is done. Tossed around all game. Chickens come home to roost for Chicago wasting the depth they had: Stanton.. Clendening.. Dahlback.. And wasting development on Rundblad.

Cumisky was fine.

Yep. Clendening, who couldn't crack the top 6 for the Vancouver Canucks, would have been key in this series.

 

[ReLyT]

What took you so long?

My four hour radio show. I burned through my phone battery refreshing my score app too. Sorry I didnt turn it on earlier haha

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Hope the Hawks hire a team of laborers to carry Crow, Keith, Seabs, Hammer, and Oduya and cater to their every whim for the next day and a half to ensure that they exude as little energy as possible prior to game three.

 

[BrianE]

Ducks eating Crow tonite, if Corey continues this way and we score some goals we are in tremendous shape....7 more wins guys.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Cumiskey set up some nice break outs and laid a beauty on vermettes stick who tipped it wide

Translation: Runblad, like Versteeg will be in street clothes for the remainder of the playoffs

 

[Kurtosis]

Ducks are going to be dead as well, especially their top line

 

[BrianE]

going to hit the hay see you guys tomorrow...and GO HAWKS!!!
