I was disappointed to see the Penguins lose last night, but what a game by Ovechkin and Crosby. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the game in Chicago tonight.

^ If anything, I'm just absolutely floored by the young Hawks...there is never any quit in the team and to now come back twice against arguably the best netminder in the game twice...that's quite something!
And of course, they did it against Calgary a few times in the last series too...

Good to have you back Yummy, you provide a lot of good humorous posts. Sorry your 2nd round picks didn't work out as you planned.

To make my picks I channeled Yumchah by placing a Mint in box Optimus Prime from 1986 on a ouija board then placing the ouija board in a Aston Martin that had it's trunk filled with "Captian Serious" jerseys.
The west
Chicago over the Canucks in 1 Toews scores a million points and ultimately is named supreme leader of the Earth world peace ensues. The Stanley Cup is immediately renamed the Toews cup and all previous names are removed. The Cup is re engineered to transform into a robot and an Aston Martin. The rest of the teams in the now defunct NHL bow to their new cool young leader and Overlord and will protect his palace.

I'm with you buddy...I'm anxious to see how they play in front of their home crowd tonight. I was soooo glad they split in Vancouver. It showed that Luongo is really human and they CAN beat him.

We'll take them buddy! I was REALLY excited about possibly getting the Penguins in Kansas City, but ultimately, I knew they were never going to come to town. But we do have a beautiful new facility (Sprint Center) that's aching for a major league tenant!!!

Damn Canucks...they won the first game in the Windy City. They (unfortunately) do a good job of clogging up the middle (in front of the net).

^ The Hawks played a poor game IMO...I've seen them play way better in the playoffs. I would think this game is similar to what happened in Game 3 vs. Calgary. Let's see how the kids respond for Game 4...
On a different note...anyone catch Ovechkin join in with the crowd and do the "Penguins suck" chant...?

I'm counting on the Hawks to bounce back next game. They are too good not to at least go back to Vancouver all tied up...

And Habby needs to stop playing every puck that goes behind the net...

Vancouver did a hell of job playing tonight. Better than the other night in their own city :shakehead .
I have a feeling they'll go home 3-1 and shut down the hawks in the 5th game.

Not a good call, but the Ref lost site of the puck.

You do know Van plays better on the road. Chicago fans will be quiet the entire next game.
05-06-2009, 01:07 AM
Will have to see what the next day morning QB's say about it from Toronto.
05-06-2009, 01:10 AM
They talked about how damn quiet it was during the game and talked to who ever drop the "first puck" ( I didn't see who it was, TV was on in the other room, old Blackhawks guy). He was pissed that it was so damn quiet, started talking about how much noise the make during the National Anthem.
05-06-2009, 01:11 AM
Vs. did a good reply and talked about the Ref losing site of the puck, going for the whistle and the puck going into the net. Though the whistle hadn't been blown the Ref can still stop the action. It was all very fast.

It looks like the Nucks are back on track and playing their game. What you Hawk fans have seen in game 1 (last period) and game 2 (about 1/2 the game) were how the Nucks played when they went on the horrible losing streak back in January. Now it's the Hawks turn to make adjustments...boy can that Brian Campbell skate!

^ Yeah, Soupy can skate...but, he has his share of braindead passes. Anyone note how angry Bowman was at him when the Hawks coughed up the tie in Game 1...?

I thought in the whole series the Hawks were guilty of making those long high risk stretch passes...not just Campbell.

Chicago did a poor job adjusting when your Nucks started clogging the neutral zone yesterday. The strategy that worked in Vancity obviously was not working yesterday and yet the team was poor in adjusting to it.
The forecheck was also ineffective IMO. Again, all in all a poorly played game by the Hawks. Very similar to Game 3 versus Calgary.
