Who can stop the Hawks?

[Langdon Alger]

You guys, no one can stop the Chicago BlackDachs. Cup #4 baby!

oh behave!

 

[Pizza!Pizza!]

"Who can stop the Hawks?"

Any of the playoff teams, the League, COVID-19, [MOD]​

 

[jetsforever]

After 1 exhibition game, in which the Blues were probably relaxing since they have a low-stakes round robin upcoming to prepare properly

Whoever beats the hawks will stop them im guessing.

 

[Jacksonbobson]

No one.

They are the clear favorites after tonight.

19-0 incoming.

Well he’s certainly not a Hawks fan. It’s a nice bait thread though.

My prediction is that McDavid and Draisaitl are going to have the Hawks for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Of course, in this bizarre situation anything can happen and there are no 'upsets' in the NHL anymore, but regardless I have a strong feeling that a butt-whooping is coming.

 

[Blowfish]

When it matters...every team not the hawks playing right now.

 

[Mrfenn92]

McDavid will be shut down by his best friend Dylan strome.

 

[BlueOil]

i think it's more likely kane beats up nylander on ice for repeatedly going offside than the hawks advance into the playoffs

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

People act like Chicago actually wants to win this play in series lol

We all know they're going to lose, and win Lafreniere

 

[ffh]

i can think of 22 teams that can stop them. sorry montreal.

 

[Chuck Norris Trophy]

I was 100% sure this was a thread by Mulletman.

That would be wonderful. I'll take Lafreniere over an extended run anyway. They're not winning the cup.

The Blues were playing like it’s an exhibition game and have another 2 weeks to fine tune things until the real games start for them. I doubt any of the top 4 teams care to much about the seeding round robin since the only advantage you get with home ice right now is last change.

If a fully healthy and beast mode McDavid and Draisaitl show up against the Hawks..
Kane and Toews would be neutralized in no time. This isn't 2011, where I would favour the Hawks due to thier depth and a much younger duo. This is a Mega Duo about to hit thier prime years...

However, you might as well call the Oilers the McDrais because outside of them their forward depth is lacking. McDrai are really good but the rest of the team.....not so much. I mean, Nuge and Yamamoto are ok but the Hawks have 3 lines that can score on you, and if Crawford is up to speed they have a huge edge in net.

The Oilers have depth and 2 lines that can dominate Kassian-McDavid-AA/Neal, and the best line in hockey in the second half. Yam-Draisaitl- RNH. Could be a good series. I'm expecting the highest scoring play in series.

Nylander-Strome-Kane can get hemmed in their own end at times but they put the puck in the net regularly.

Kubalik has come the closest to replacing Hossa(Hossa is not replaceable) with Toews and Saad.

Dach is uber talented and he has DeBrincat and Caggiula(Thanks Chia!) on his line.

The Hawks 4th line is meh.

IMO Boqvist, de Haan and Crawford are keys for the Hawks. If they can pick up where they left off before they got injured.....this is going to be a close series. The Hawks were on a roll when the season got stopped and they had a weak schedule to close out the year. Who knows if they'd have put it together enough to sneak in as an 8 seed. Things were trending in the right direction.

I'd still rather get Lafreniere or the 10th pick and go to war next year.

 

[Kamiccolo]

I think the Oilers can but given how common upsets are, and that the Oilers really haven't earned the respect yet by being a consistent playoff team, I think it's pretty fair to say the Hawks could win this round.. But not sure about the cup. Would have to be a hell of a run.

But my money is still on the Oilers after 5 games unless they completely choke.

 

[TheAngryHank]

Seriously?

First game played in four f***ing months and we already have a thread like this?

I mean seriously?

This is ridiculous. Even for hf boards standards.

Unless i am totally missing the sarcasm. Still though, why post this?

Wait...When did the HF get standards? Was that in the new TOS i didn’t read?

 

[EdmFlyersfan]

Oilers don't have the depth outside McDrai, they have some guys who show up in flashes...in the playoffs you need a depth of consistency. The series will be closer than most think.

However, you might as well call the Oilers the McDrais because outside of them their forward depth is lacking. McDrai are really good but the rest of the team.....not so much.

Goal posts, do your thang!

There is only 1 single thread on the first page of this forum hyping up a specific team and it happens to be the team playing the Oilers. I AM SURPRISED.
