Moog will disagree wholeheartedly. Quick is better.

Well whatdayaknow.......the Sharks look like the typical playoff folding Sharks.

Sure they one the game....by the skin of their sharky teef.

Kings were the better team....but sometimes the luck does not go your way.

Bring on Game 2!!!!

Niemi made a really nice stop in the 3rd. It could've been 3-2 for Kings easily...

And you call me myopic.


He's not bad but if I were making a roster, he would not be my first pick for goalie (no, I would not pick Crawford cuz he's a Hawk goalie). And you're saying Quick over anyone...

Just so that I'm not accused of misreading English again and we're clear.

He's a top 5-10 goaltender in the league, and is the best shoot-out goaltender in the league.

No myopia here....just facts.

So, what about the other 1-4...since Quick is top 5-10...?

Looks like "myopia" to me since you're disregarding 4 other better goalies in your mind for this guy since you're taking him over anyone.

Nice try :wink: but his stats are among the best...why I would pick him above the rest is that he is nails in the shoot-out, and he is still very young....his upside for even more greatness as he matures is huge.


...not to mention is lower cap hit

Fluke save.



Enjoy it! I just recall that being up 1 game to none was how it started for the last 2 years too!

You better hope your team can beat a depleted Chicago or you'll never hear the end of it.


You're just lucky you're not a Miami Heat fan...if they lose in the playoffs...hoooo...

Yeah...Chicago's lack of depth is being exposed now. They have to at least win one back home to make a series or it's over...

Toews played fine...it was more Campbell and Keith who seemed to struggle.


Ben Smith looks good.

Nope...The Hawks will need to rebuild their depth. Ah well, for the rest of the series...

He's good but, behind that D...you can argue any decent guy would put up nice numbers.

Who would I pick ahead of Quick? Miller, Lundqvist, Fleury, Price, and Thomas. But, it's not like anyone is calling the guy the second coming of Dan Cloutier.

When did Moog start acting like a butt-hurt Pens fan?

Your reacting like Jonsei would if I slagged Tyler Kennedy.

You are correct...Quick does not make any game changing saves.
He has yet to "win" a game for the Kings.

It's the D not the goaltender. Bernier should be the number 1 guy....clearly!

Oh nice...Torres does not get suspended.


Well, if the Hawks are going to get swept, can we at least have a nice bench-clearing brawl...?

I don't think Torres was deliberately head hunting on that hit.

Good solid hit.....ya gotta keep your head up.

Didn't he hit Seabrooke in the head twice in the same game? Coincidence, really?

The hit behind the net is what I was referring to....looked clean to me.

How could Seabs keep his head up if he was turned the other way accepting a pass...?

And one more thing, if Torres' hit was clean on Seabrook, what was the hit he laid on Eberle that drew a suspension? Clean too...?
