Originally predicted J. Moore would be suspended one game but I guess they gave him two so he's out for the series.

Props to the Hawks. of all players Zeussssss!

It took everything the Hawks had to keep pace with the Kings.

OT is anyone's game.

Kings still have the momentum, bend but don't break, down 2-0 on the road...no problem, Kings take a 4-3 lead. How do the Hawks let that happen at home?

...but again the Hawks played 110% against LA to get to the tie to force OT.
That's saying something.

Crawford's 100% is about 50-60% of most NHL goaltenders.

However if fans taunt him, it may drop to 30%

Too bad the Kings didn't show up for the first period.

I'm still waiting for them to play all 3 periods of one game.

You listen to yourself...How can the Hawks have played, to quote, 110%, if they blew a 2-0 and 3-1 lead?

This COMPLETE game you're talking about...? With two pretty good teams, well, good luck with that...ebb and flow of the game. Good teams will take that from each other throughout a game. It's not like you're playing the Penguins with no-D or the Oilers. And vice versa for Chicago. I don't see how one team can "dominate" all 3 periods at this stage.



Look, we all in here know your Kings are likely the best team right now because their offense has come alive and their depth is impressive...something I can't say much about Chicago with Kruger barely alive, Versteeg and Bollig useless most of the time...the former with bad give-aways (cue the GTG from your squad to make it 3-3) and Bollig with bad penalties (see Game 2).

Kings are rolling 4 lines...plain and simple...Hawks can't...almost 2.5 lines and that's going to be the difference and has been the difference so far. But, Chicago also didn't quit which was nice to see from being down 4-3 and with the game's momentum all with LA. That's a huge positive.

When did I say "complete" game?

It took the Hawks 110% to get back control of a game they had a 2-0 lead in.
It seems to me you understand that, even though you are trying not to. :wink:
It's pretty simple.

In post 44533, you're lamenting how your Kings have not played all 3-periods. So, in my original response to you, I said, good luck with that. You have 2 good teams going at it...unlikely. They steal momentum from each other throughout a game and it often turns.

...and they haven't played all three periods of a game yet.

However same was said of the Kings vs Sucks and Sharks, and then boom, the Kings came out and a couple of games in each series where they played all 3 periods.

Like I said....waiting for them to do it against the Hawks.

It's not that hard to understand.

The Habs need to put uncertainty, doubt, and fear into the Rangers. The Game 5 win instilled the uncertainty.

Game 6 in MSG will be Hell on Earth. It’s not crazy to imagine the Habs winning that game, and there’s your doubt. Then a 1-0 lead in Game 7 brings the fear.
