**** this **** bullshit!!!! F U NHL. How the **** can Crawford start the fight and we end up on the penalty kill?!?!? Worst officiating ever

Same reason Duncan Keith only got 6 game suspension for that flagrant, nasty slash he had against the wild a couple weeks ago......

never been a fan of crawford....always liked darling more

BRUINS!!


That is all.

I have to disagree,I think crow is one of the most underrated goalies in the league. He played great last nite,the blues just played better.this series has been tough to watch. The HAWKS have done it to themselves. Don't get me wrong the blues have played awesome. That was hard to say. No matter what happens the CUP will stay in the west.

meh, agree to disagree.  i'm not saying crawford's a bad goalie.....i just think he has a lot of talented players in front of him, and greatly benefits from that.  IMO, if he was on a less talented team his numbers wouldn't be as good as they are with the hawks.

and if not the hawks, what team do you think will win the cup this year, just curious?

This is great,Love to talk hockey. Not to many hockey fans in my neck of the woods,it would seem. If the blues hold on to win,they would play Dallas in the next round. I would think whomever wins that series will most likely win the Cup.

As a HAWKS fan I had to say IF lol

So my wife is a huge kings fan so she totally disagrees with me. She thinks if Quick can steal this series,that the kings will go all the way. Washington looks good in the east,but I just don't know if they can go all the way,hard to tell with what little fight Philly is putting up

This is why i hate the way hockey does the playoffs.

there is no reason why the team that had the 2nd most points in the western conference should have to play the team with the 3rd most points in the first round and then the team with the most points in the conference before making the conference finals.

I totally agree,it should be highest seed playing lowest seed no matter the division

no offense to your wife ..... but F**K the kings. 
simply because they have sh!tlord aka he who shall not be named aka jeff carter on their team.  i absolutely despise him.

truth be told; if it wasn't for sh!tlord, i'd be ok with them.

Yes I to loathe the dirty kings, I always tell my wife with all the great teams out there why the kings. At least she's not a canucks fan lol

So Shaw gets a game suspension and a $5,000  fine and has to go to sensitivity training. Now this is some PC BS 
Dirty bastards

bert873

I agree the penalty doesn't make sense compared to other suspensions handed out but at the same time this vocabulary doesn't belong in sports. I'm all against PC except when it comes to derogatory words. There's plenty of other choice words to get your frustration out. 

bert873

Hopefully Crawford takes his midol before this next game. He seemed a bit irritated and cranky last game. 

Oh and I hate Keith! How the hell does the puck always find a way in the back of the net when he shoots?!?

johnnyB

I agree,no place for that in sports. But come on a game suspension

I totally agree with you there. A lot of the suspensions make zero sense to me. Someone can board a player and almost break their neck and get one game. I don't think that's equivalent to this and yet still the same suspension

jgibv

after shaw's suspension......
i'm convinced, this is how the NHL determines fines & suspensions:

I would agree with you here but then a guy at work said it was directed at an official. I didn't watch that game so correct me if I'm wrong. I believe it was probably  a game suspension because of abuse of an official and maybe wouldn't have been had he just said it to another player. 
Again, correct me if I am wrong....

Bigshizza

Go Kings & Pens!! You can do it... I hope!!

johnnyB

Thank you  thank you thank you!!! Great game,what a perfect time for KANE  to get his first goal of this year's post season. 

GO BLACKHAWKS GO

Wylaff

Go Pens...

yes it was directed at the officials.
he also flipped them off on the way to the penalty box and was cursing at them the whole time.  definitely a harsh punishment for what he did, BUT the league is pretty protective of the officials.....

Woooo!!!! Blues!!!!! Finally!!! I about had a heart attack with that game. Great series hawks. 

Guitarded

Congrats. Post to post?? Sick. Great series.

johnnyB

That was a great series,congratulations  @bert873 good luck with Dallas. Keep the CUP  in the WEST

Wylaff

That's what you get for voting against the Pens

bert873

Dallas has a high scoring offense but their defense is more susceptible than Chicago's. As long as Elliott keeps playing like this I like our chances.

That's funny,I really thought the rangers would take care of the pens. That's what I get for picking with my heart. My older brother is a huge rangers fan,I've always wanted to see the HAWKS v rangers for the CUP. Looks like the wait continues 

skydiverD

That was a great series. Tip of my virtual cap to the Blues. Hawks have some retooling to do.  Look forward to the Blues and Stars. Should be a great series as well. Good luck to the Blues!
