GDT: Western Conference Final - Game 4: Ducks @ Hawks| 7 p.m. CDT 5/23/15 NBC

Ducks board is good for a laugh. People saying that if the Hawks go on to win the Cup it will be viewed as tainted

What in the world did the refs do that is so egregious? The only thing I can recall is when he collided with the defender on the Saad goal.

No surprise. I didnt know how bad Ducks fans were till this series started

 

[Backyard Hockey]

It's pretty insane. Down 3-0? Give up 3 goals in 37 seconds? Triple OT with 4.5 defensemen? Somehow they still win.

I will admit I thought it was over after the 37 seconds thing. Happy to be wrong.

4.5?

I think that's fair. Cuminskey is .5 of an NHL D Men. Kimo is 0. So, yes.

 

[Teemu]

They're still trying to figure out why the Hawks aren't getting called for double dribble.

 

[Salvaged Ship]

Omg just seen the replay at the end of regulation when Crawford swung his stick at the Anaheim guy. Didn't realize that shot went off the crossbar, man if that went in Crow would have been crucified......

 

[chicagoskycam]

Hawks should definitely have a * if they win. I mean, C'mon.

 

[Bring Back GLR]

@MarkPotash: The #Blackhawks are 16-0 in games after a series is tied 2-2 under Joel Quenneville —*8-0 on the road; 8-0 at home.

Lets hope we can keep those stats perfect, really could not stomach losing to Kesler and Perry both those guys are such dicks. That tackle and stick chokehold on Kruger was brutal.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

TVR in 44 out PLEASE Q

I think that would be a given assuming TVR is 'ready'.

Is he?

 

[WJSN]

Cleared to practice.

I'd easily take 80% of TvR over Timonen.

I think you meant up 3 - 1...but yeah is crazy.

As pathetic as the Hawks play sometimes they just never, ever quit...is a very special group win Cup or not.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Toews and Vermette at the podium.

I swear Vermette is Ashton Kutcher's long lost, jacked up French twin brother.

I think he looks a lot like Seabrook - who looks a lot like the guy from Hunger Games.

Oh, and he's not French. He's franco-Canadian. Big difference. I have a good friend who is from France (Cannes) and he loses his shib when you call Quebecois 'French'.

Liam Hemsworth? Seabrook wishes.

 

[Salvaged Ship]

The Ducks could easily have swept this series. Hopefully they realize that and start to gag like they have in years past

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Its like that everywhere I have checked (hf, twitter)

In what way?

If you play the way Anaheim does, you are going to get a lot of calls against. Stop the after the whistle crap and you won't get called.

Anaheim got a gift. They should have been called for at trip on the OT PP, giving the Hawks a 5-3. Refs swallowed the whistle.

BUT could also be the other way around.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

ya they do look a lot alike....

Dude looks like Ashton Kutcher. ls a pro athlete. Makes a lot of money. Has a fancy pants Frenchy (well, Quebecois really) accent.

So, I think what we are saying is that he must have a really hard time getting the hotties.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

And that's no one's fault. It's hockey. Every team gets screwed by a puck or player hitting a ref at least once a season.

As Kaner would say 'That's hockey baby!'

At best it's where it belongs. The Hawks dominated game 1 and lost. Then Q harmed his own chances in game 3.

yep! I had boob tube muted again and Troy agreed.

By the way that's my OT good luck charm, only loss is to LA when tube muted in OT and John & Troy on.

hear he is ready to go and has had some practice.....

He is French. Your friend is extremely French.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

pretty much. Q threw away a huge game for no reason. Teuvo and Vermette have been very good. I'm sure they would've been good in Game 3 too. Maybe we win that one idk. Huge win tonight though.

Could have very well been. Yes, they didn't score, but the Ducks only scored 2 goals.

The issue was face offs. Vermette leading the team in face offs. Take that away and Anaheim wins more faceoffs. Both goals were with a) Nordstrom on the ice and b) after lost offensive zone face offs.

So, hmmm....

 

[Backyard Hockey]

I didn't know there WERE Ducks fans until this series started. Don't they play in Southern California?

Last seasons WCF against LA, hit Linesman's skate along boards, Kings then proceed to score an important goal.

And he broke up our 3rd and 4th lines who have probably been our best two lines. In the past now but this was a much needed win. And a good confidence booster for Vermette.
