Who can stop the Hawks?

[Raised Fist Republic]

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

Only ppl Kane can ‘beat up’ are unsuspecting poor people. Nylander doesn’t fit that.

And Cabbies supposedly.

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

Which two are they giving back this year?

Which two are they giving back this year?

4th in the Toews, Kane, and Kieth era. Obviously. I'm sure this is tough for you because the Blues just won their first Cup but when you win more than one you can seperate them between eras.

Here to help little buddy!

Leave it to HF, even when there is hockey on there will still be stupid mid summer threads.

Impressive performance tonight, shutting down the Stanley Cup champion in title. Their offense is going full throttle, they have leadership experience, great minds behind the bench, and a strong goaltender who knows what it takes to win. Can anyone stop a team led by 100% healthy, motivated and ready Toews and Kane at this point?

There is this team play, it is their home arena, they have this kid the team stole from the Sabres a few years ago, I hear he is pretty good and a one man wrecking crew

intangibles tho

The funny part about this painting (okay, one of the funny parts) was that it was created before the 2010 cup win.

The guy needs to come to Edmonton.

Hopefully this work of art will have the same effect

I and Toews had an intimate moment tonight. There was a moment when we both locked eyes, and knew that something magical was going to happen: that nothing was going to stop Toews' passion.

Did your car run out of gaz?

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.

And yet the Hawks were 23rd in the league with a top 5 goaltending duo and the Oilers were.....9th.

If they had lines as good as you claim they wouldnt have been hot garbage for the majority of the season. The ONLY reason the Hawks weren't contending for 31st is their goaltending and even WITH lights out tending they were....23rd

Itll be nice when the Hawks fan base disappears for another 30 years after this run is over. Just another front runner fanbase that only shows up when the team is good.

 

[TheBluePenguin]

As much fun as this thread is to read.... There were actual fellow Blues fans crying about the loss .... One game that was even mess important then a preseason game when at least some people are fighting for jobs

That’s crazy. Especially since they’ve had the highest average attendance in the league EVERY YEAR since the last time they made the playoffs

No the issue is that they never had everyone healthy at the same time. Murphy, Keith and de Haan all missed games on D, with de Haan missing most of the season. Strome and Saad also missed 12 games each.

COVID-19 can stop the Hawks.

Yeah... an exhibition game that means squat where St. Louis didn't give a crap

Every team has injuries throughout the season, not just your favorite team. The Oilers had injuries as well, they were without McDavid - the best player in the league - for periods of time this season. It's a really lame excuse.

Well, to be fair, about 90% of the Hawks fans I come across don’t realize hockey existed before 2009, so I’m usually the one saying “Here to help, little buddy.” An honest mistake, but your apology is accepted.

BTW, how is the era from 1962-2009 referred to? Do you misspell the names of players from those eras too?

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Kirby Dach's hometown

It’s referred to as “Blues Cup Drought: Part 1”

 

[Skate2Stick]

I can easily see Chicago taking this

 

[MissouriMook]

Your team won 1 Cup in 71 years, and for most of that period there were only 5 other teams that could win it. Probably not a good idea to be referring to any other team as having a "drought". Glass houses and all.

I must have missed the fact that 1962-2010 was mostly in the 6 team era instead of just being 6 years. Key thing to note unlike the Blues Chicago actually had 5 real finals appearances compared to St.Louis and their zero

 

[al secord]

My first answer would be, probably the Oilers. If they win, then i would say probably the first round opponent. If they win that round, i would say probably their second round opponent...etc..
