5/21 - WCF Game 3 - Sharks (0) @ (2) Blackhawks 7:00PM VS

[sth]

Wow what a game that was to watch. I swear I was so nervous during OT I thought I was gonna stroke out. Niemi was awesome tonight he had little chance on both goals. Bolland, Ladd, Versteeg were very good all night. It seemed Bolland was getting extra attention from the refs. But boy did he make the Sharks pay tonight. On the OT winner Bolland and Buff were great, but don't forget Campbell. That was an awesome hold in on the point. That led to Bolland which led to Buff. One more win to go boys!

It goes beyond the minor penalty calls. It also includes things like off-sides, where the puck drop is, etc that is questionable.



But, absolutely the goaltending has been a major factor. Niemi, while having vasoline on his stick tonight, has looked more poised this series that Nabby. Tonight, Nabby really looked like he did not know where the puck was on many occasions.[/quote]



And yet the dumbass announcers couldn't stop sucking Nabokov's ****, even when tied 2-2 and Niemi having 10 more saves. Fucking toolbags. Good points also in your first sentence.

[quote name="Pez68"]With the way the officiating has been in this series, there really is no stopping this team. They have beat the officials AND the Sharks in two out of the three games thus far. I have never seen worse double standards than what I saw in games 1 and 3. If you're going to call the ticky tack BULLSHIT, you call it BOTH FUCKING WAYS YOU FUCKING ASSHOLES. Toronto really had NO CHOICE but to overrule that goal, because the penalty that lead to it was fucking HORSESHIT. The officials tried their hardest to give San Jose games 1 and 3, and failed miserably. I don't see any scenario in which the Hawks don't close this out on Sunday. San Jose is defeated. Their coach actually answered a question tonight with "I don't know what more we can do." LOL[/quote]



I honestly don't think I've ever agreed with you more Pez.



Spot on! It was clear the NHL was trying to keep San Jose around tonight. Those who didn't see it I don't know what game they were watching.[/quote]

I RARELY yell at the teevee about the officiating, but nearly lost my voice over it tonight, Ron. It was so very pathetic I could scarcely believe what I was seeing. And that first PP call with the waved-off goal was the most ticky-tacky call I've ever seen. Just horrible and embarrassing for the league. Something needs to be done and soon.



Oh, yeah, GO HAWKS!!!!!

 

[bierboy]

Come to think of it....why was Buff on a line with Bolland in the OT? I thought he was on the Kane/Toews line. Did Q mix up the lines and I didn't notice?

 

[the canadian dream]

Q had a few very interesting line juggles in tonights game. Had Eager out there with Toews and Kane for a shift at one point and messed around with a lot of guys double shifting them etc. Gotta hand it to Q he ran his bench really well tonight. Played the hot hands together many times and completely threw of the Sharks on many occassions.



Could have been a line change Bier that kept Buff on the ice but I think Q had him out there for a reason. Sharks were tired wh not throw a big guy out that a tired crew would have a hard time containing?



Q's coached very well since the Preds series. VERY WELL!! The emotion he showed on the bench tonight said it all.

 

[Shredder]

I said the most important thing in this series going in was to stay out of the box and it's sort of been true. The Sharks have scored five goals so far, 60% of them on the powerplay, and the Hawks have outscored them 6-2 during even strength play. The two games in which the Hawks have had some real trouble we've been shorthanded 5.5 times a game. In Game 2 we had one penalty kill and won relatively comfortably. That's not the whole story, but it's a big part of why things have gone the way they have. The powerplay advantage for the Sharks also feels like a significant reason why they've outshot the Hawks so far in the series.



Personally, I don't think the officiating has been all that bad and the Hawks have taken some pretty dumb penalties. Also, 12-6 in powerplays looks bad, but in a way, I think it's a measure of the Hawks' aggressiveness during even strength.

 

[bierboy]

Now I saw last night's game on the teeeveee, so I want an answer from you guys who were at the game---****** nozzle Barry Rozner says the sharks outplayed the Hawks "most of the game" last night and "deserved to win". Is that what you guys saw? That's not what I saw. Perhaps in the 3rd period, but certainly not the entire game. What say you who were there?

If you think that the announcers were bad when it came to constant sucking of Nabokock, just imagine how bad its gonna get if we ended up getting Montreal in the finals, which means sucking Halak's **** for beating Ovie and Crosby... Yeah, we'd hear that all series long. Having Stu kissing his sweet ass is bad enough. Can you imagine how the announcers are going to react?



And you guys still want Montreal in the Finals? :lol:

[quote name="roshinaya"]Niemi again solid and kept the hawks in it when they were shorthanded. bolland redeems himself with the go ahead goal and the pass to buff in OT, nabby was totally lost and didn't see it coming until it was passed him. great game.[/quote]



Bolland was bad all game til he scored that goal, that was awesome. Hossa has a weak game compared to what we've seen all playoffs... Toews once again comes up big. Glad to see him break the Blackhawk's playoff point streak at such a young age! Signs of things to come!



Antti Niemi Steals Another One:



44/46 Saves (.957 SV%)

2 Goals Against (1.66 GAA)[/quote]



Completely disagree about Bolland and Hossa. Every time Hossa was on the ice he instantly stood out as the best player on the ice. Bolland was very good last night except for the penalties.



Also Soupy deserves a ton of credit on the game winner with a great keep in.

Talk about a couple of clueless ass clowns.



Even when Foley and Nocheck are yukkin it up they have a better idea of what's going on than those two fucksticks.[/quote]





Dude, I so Agree with you I have never seen these ass clowns myself, even the camera angles were bad at times. We had the puck and the fuckin camera guy is showing Mortons Steak House on the boards. What a freakin joke.



a little art to go along with this post.. Niemi has been saying :naughty: to most shots at him. While Nabby has been ray: when the hawks are coming at him. Joe thornton and his excuses :violin: and Povelski makes you :think: if he is the missing twin brother of Steeger.[/quote]



I also forgot their ass kissing of Thornton. How many minutes did they waste talking about how he got even with Ladd?

What a couple of fuckin idiots.



Ladder totally blew Thornton up. Dumbo got a decent shot on Ladd but he didn't get blown up by any means.



And thankfully, I had nothing heavy to throw at the TV when they were blowing Marleau for what seemed eternity....even going as far as talking about how many hat tricks he had when the game went into OT as if he were going to beat Nemo.



God help us if we have to listen to those Bozos the rest of the way.

Oh, man, do you have that right. Every time he touched the puck in OT, they were spewing about "hat trick" this and "hat trick" that....I nearly vomited.

I have noticed that most of the sports announcers sing the praises of the Sharks and constantly talk about how talented they are, and I admit they are a very talented team. But, they are always so reluctant to give the Hawks credit for anything. Even when we were up 2 games to none, all they talked about was the Sharks. I am anxious to see what the Millbury Doughboy and Pompous Pierre have to say today because it kills them to say anything nice or positive about the Hawks. It really gets old. It's like the Hawks are the Redheaded stepchild.

how many of you caught the part when one of the hawks I think it was Kane who shot the puck from the side circle at Nabby who held on and the announcer said he swallows. LOLOL that was the funniest shit. I had to give them a :clap: for that.

Pez did not mention anything about "fixing games". He referred to horrible officiating. Fixing games is assinine thought. It poor officiating.



I love the VS announcers. I'm listening to the 3rd period. Hossa his clearly hooked and the asshole says, "good no call, let them play the game". Well dumb **** why didn't they do that when they called Hossa for hooking in the 2nd giving the Sharks a 5 on 3.



These guys fucking suck and so does VS.

You guys have to follow my playoff strategy. Every Hawks playoff game I put the tv on mute and listen to my ipod. Then I can hear music I like and do my own announcing in my head. But when I listen to other playoff game announcing I could not agree more awful stuff.
