NHL Stanely Cups Playoffs

Unfortunately I think you are right. Hawks forwards cant score (where is Kane, Hossa and Sharp?), Defense has been sloppy and Crawford went cold. Not the combination you need when you are playing a team as good as the Kings. Like to think the Hawks can make a comeback but they cant afford any errors along the way.


Lots of goals scored last night, made for some interesting hockey. That kind of defense will not beat either the Kings or the Hawks. East teams better step it up.
 
We'll.... The Rangers are relaxing and getting a well needed rest awaiting the finals.

Tonight, it's going to be "leave nothing on the table" for the Hawks. It's in LA where they've been strong.

If Crawford has a stellar game, I think the Hawks have a chance. Both teams have exceptional talent on the scoring side of things, but they have to show up. The best goal tending wins the game.

Can Chicago push it to a game 7 at home.... :confused:

We shall see.....

What a high tempo game that was last night!!! Great saves and hard play... You sure could tell who had the legs last night!!! Wasn't close. Kudos to the rookie goalie for keeping his team in it...


Tonight will be exciting!!!! Let's see who gets the lucky bounce at the right time!!!:cheers:
 
Crawford has been pressured and mediocre.. Im fearful of the result of tonights game. The Kings appear to be a better team right now
 
That sure was a good game... Kings stopped sending in their defensemen and it cost them. hawks could of won by more. Had some great chances. That 2 on 0 was a great save by Quick. Kings may have pissed this series away.:cheers: Kings need one more player from Minnesota!!!! That is a fun jab at FC but he would agree or say they need 5 more.
 
The big names stepped up for the Hawks, especially Kane. Man... that guy is a Magician when it comes to getting in position to make a shot.

I said it in my previous post, Crawford has a stellar night the Hawks have a chance. He made the big saves when it counted. Those last two with time running out were HUGE !!

Did I see what I thought I saw at the end of the 2nd period. Two goalies who looked like they wanted to drop the gloves...:D

Momentum has shifted boys and now it's put up or shut up. Who wants it the most? :confused:
 
You have to like Chicago's chances at home. Crawford and Kane have stepped up big in the last two games. Going to be a good one on Sunday night.

Go Hawks!
 
Boy! it's been really hard to predict a winner in this series.

The Kings played a good game and Quick stopped the ones he could see. But as has been in the past in Game 7's or to stay alive in a series, Chicago's big names, namely Kane but Crawford as well, come thru. Both were responsible for ending the Wild's run.

The United Center will be rock'in on Sunday night and you know the Hawks will feed off of that. I think it will be very tough for the Kings over come this momentum swing. They had a chance to put this thing away and now let 2 games slip away from them each in the third period.

Good grief! Game 7 at home and I'm stuck in Denver until Tuesday:mad::mad:

I like their chances tomorrow night. It's going to be a free for all. game 6 was NUTS !!!:thumbsup::thumbsup:
 
Hawks lead all game but they couldn't keep it. Anything can happen in OT, and it did. Gotta hand it to the Kings.
 
Great game 7 !!! Lot of 2 on 1's for the hawks did not pan out. One shot off the hawks player ends up in the net.... It went real quiet. First team to win 3 game 7's in a playoff year on the road. Hope the Finals are just as good!!
 
We'll... game 1 was a nail biter. Rangers came out flying and caught LA by surprise. Some sloppy play early by the Kings and Quick bailed them out several times early on and throughout, otherwise NY would have went up several goals on them. Both Goalies were outstanding. I have a feeling LA won't be caught flat footed in game 2.

Looking to be a good series so far....:thumbsup:
 
Well the first 10 minutes it could of been 10-10... Wow. Was not pretty, but man it was exciting. Found this little tid bit I thought was funny, but a little premature.

Game 2 and another crazy comeback. Scoring chances are crazy. I hope it goes more then 5 games. Everyone is flying around and no one misses a hit. Saw a couple embellished plays or penalties, almost thought I was watching soccer for a moment!!!
 
I'm going to be very cautious when I say this, but.... I think the party is over. Rangers are getting shots, but Mr. Quick has something to say about them going in. Best Goalie in the NHL if you ask me. That had to be a frustrating game for New York.

The Kings just seem to make few mistakes and jump all over the ones that the Rangers make.

I think there's still a chance the Rangers can find a way to win one at home, but this will not go past game 5.
 
Hard Mountain to climb!!! Quick is going to stop most everything low unless it gets deflected. When he gets to scrambling, I would start to elevate the puck. Rangers had so many power play chances that they just could not take advantage of. If the Kings were not busy half the night killing penalties it could of been uglier.... I would say it is over, though I would like to see a few more games.. Not ready for hockey to end, because then I only have the Rockies to watch and it ain't purty!!!:cheers:
 
The save(s) that gave me the goose bumps was the back to back stick robbing saves on Derrick Brassard. The second one with an outstretched paddle. simply amazing :eek: :10sign:

The guy is incredibly acrobatic and has insane lateral movement. But your right, if you want to beat him, you have to go up high.
