2013 Stanley Cup Finals Hawks vs. Bruins

[Bigc177]

Let's Go Blackhawks, I've been a Hawks fan every since I could hold a hockey stick! This series should be one for the record book!

I didnt watch it so i cant really comment, hits to the back are cheap, especially if they are to the neck. Chara is like 7 ft tall (granted its mostly his neck) he is going to be hitting a little higher than most folks. Not trying to disagree with you, just sayin

Yea he looks huge on skates. He would try to shove a guy out of the way in front of the net by holding his stick horizontal and shoving then in the neck, made the head tilt back and helmet tilt, just looked crazy. Being that tall puts his hands there, I just don't like seeing a guys head fly back like that. They showed it in replays during the game.

GAME TWO IS TOMORROW NIGHT FOLKS!

What you said pretty much explains how I feel about Chara's checks. I think some fans get y too butthurt when the bumping starts.

Who thinks it is time to take Toews off the PP?

Love him, wouldn't trade him for the world, but I don't think a Selke award winner needs to center your PP.

I'd like to see Kane, Hossa and Shaw with Leddy and Oduya start the first PP shift, then be relieved by Sharp, Frolik and Bolland, with Keith and Seabrook backing them up.

Go Hawks!

Regarding the Bruins blocking so many shots...time to put a couple of shots in, head level. You want to block a shot, then try it with your face.

HOSSA IS A SCRATCH -- WTF?

Man does their power play suck!

Hockey is still a thing? So they still televise it in the US?

I used to feel the same way, but after learning a few simple rules a couple years ago, it is an amazing sport to follow. Super athletes.

HOSSA IS A SCRATCH -- WTF?

He used to play hockey, till he took a puck to the knee in warmups.


Not sure where he actually took the puck, but apparently it hurt him.

 

[Phil502]

Man they looked horrible last night, 1 shot on goal with a Bruin in the box, wtf.

 

[ZombieApocolypse]

On a side note, Rask is still performing like a phenom

 

[BiscuitNaBasket]

The Hawks blew it last night. They were a mess on the ice. Crawford kept them in the game but ya gotta have some goals to win. Geez.

The Stanley Cup games are televised on NBC Sports and you can stream the games live off of the NBC website for free.

Hawks have been awful on the power play. It's almost like they have no advantage whatsoever having a 5-4 or 6-5.

I haven't watched any hockey at all until the playoffs and know Chicago was on a roll during the regular season, but they look like an average team against Boston in the series.

I'm watching game 4 at the BDubs in Greenwood with the girlfriend. Anyone else getting ready to watch?
