GDT: WCF Game 3: Anaheim @ Chicago (Series 1-1) | 5/21/15 | 7:00 PM CDT | NBCSN

None of these guys look like themselves. Except Teuvo, that is, who looks like an incredibly smart and creative hockey player.

I didn't notice that about Teuvo. Probably because the camera didn't carry any shots of the skybox,tho.

 

[Kurtosis]

I wish it was Friday so I could just open up this bottle of bourbon I have and drink the damn thing. And I do mean whole thing (or at least try to).

 

[Canadian Wampa]

I'm trying to think of a way I can post all of my thoughts in a rational manner, but I'm just dumbfounded

 

[Blackhawks]

You took a good third line and made it *******. You need that third line to be at least a threat. Q Fail. I wish cold steel was here. There are no apologies for the fiasco of tonight's roster selection.

He killed the 4th line as well, they have been the best line this series and some how miraculously became invisible. He took Shaw and PUT HIM BACK IN CENTER WTF????

not only just the third line but he also screwed the 4th line. Which probably has been our best line.

I wonder what Stan thinks about TT as a healthy scratch. Even are horrible sports radio guys have been talking TT up in the playoffs.

I am on second bottle of wine. I don't give a **** tonight.

Ideal player to sit in the press box.

 

[Kurtosis]

He literally ****ed up the entire bottom 6. I love when he does his "I'm the smartest guy in the room act" and it ends up costing the team games. ********************************

People loved Shaw at C last year....

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Shaw was the best winger on the ice on Tuesday. Put him at center. Smart

 

[massivegoonery]

Yep, he did but looking at the series he's not himself. His decisions on the PP's in the 1st. All the damn turnovers.

Even the goal was a busted play.

[DrunkKaner88]

even with the stupid lineup decisions, the Hawks just didn't seem to have much of anything tonight.

It's 2015.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Then he goes back to the lineup everybody wanted and things go back to normal, as in winning.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

I think we may have to face reality. Anaheim is better.

 

[Kurtosis]

It threw off the continuity of the whole team. The bottom 6 was neutered and the team as a result couldn't roll 4 lines effectively.

 

[kuzy]

Lol this guy ^^

 

[hawksrule]

People loved Shaw at C last year....

There's no one who wants shaw at center.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

I think we may have to face reality. Anaheim is better.

I'll face that reality when the series is over. Until then I say the PP needs to improve and Q needs to ice the best roster. They have 4 more games to do such.

 

[ToewsForDays]

Thoughts on these lines?

10-19-88
86-91-81
29-80-20
11-16-65

Stan traded a second for a 40 year old blue liner who can't skate

You had the lineup you wanted the first two game and lost 4-1 and won a miraculous game in 3 OT. Stop acting like Q broke up the '96 Wings.

 

[Marina]

I think we may have to face reality. Anaheim is better.

Not at all. Maybe when we ice useless ****ing idiots but Hawks are more than capable of hanging with them when our coach isn't being a ******* idiot. And we only lost by one tonight.

 

[Kurtosis]

I think we may have to face reality. Anaheim is better.

It's close. I would concede they are better if the Hawks iced their best lineup. Unfortunately tonight that was not the case (and it wasn't in game 1 either).
