[A] Playoff Clinch: CHI 5, NSH 4

true, maybe they shouldnt even take the foot off the gas. Wild are shitty after the overhyped early season success, so even the second of a back-to-back they shouldnt been too tiring and after tonight we have three full days off.

Not sure if I agree with that. Only to prevent injury if anything else. I'd limit the 1st and 2nd line minutes tonight, and give the 4th line their most time of the season. Literally roll out 4 lines of equal time, take Bollig out, play Frolik/Hayes with Mayers.

Hey assholes I have been a stout Q defender all year while you all cracked the whip on him.



what I said is not some sort of means to try and discredit Q at all as a coach. I have never had any real issues with him.



I simply didn't like the time out call that early in a game and when a period was being won. I don't think it did jack shit anyways because we lost the insuing faceoff and the Preds and the Hawks just went on as it was before the time out (besdies the period was close to ending) Had the Preds scored without Q taking a time out I wouldn't have given a shit. I don't like when time outs are taken in the first period of any hockey games. Any!!! Time outs should be reseved for late in games. I have always thought this way and always will. For a time out to be used in the first period while you are winning that period there has to be a very good excuse. And I can assure you no Hawk player was hurt when he called that time out pmx..I can assure you of that.



I stand by my thoughts that it was a bad time out. i can`t be swayed on that. I don`t really care though as we got the win. I was just ppointing out what I thought was a strange time out call and a very strange time.

So...you assure/guarantee...that on the ice if it was asked if anyone needs it...no one on the ice said "yeah, take it"?

And for the record, the Hawks won the ensuing faceoff -



102 1 EV 19:05

0:55 FAC CHI won Def. Zone - CHI #10 SHARP vs NSH #11 LEGWAND

Did it make a difference? We will never know. At this point all that matters is the X in the standings.

 

[PatrickShart]

It made all the difference in the whole wide world...TCD is a tool

...11-2-2 record says volumes.

Yes it does

Someone on twitter <won't name him> bitched at Q for calling the time out when he did last night. Seriously? The fucking team was gassed on what I thought was a terrible icing call. It was a damn good time out.

Absofrickinlutely!!

 

[the canadian dream]

it made absolutely zero difference. Would have made a difference if the time out was used in the 2nd period. I l now that because 30% of the time I am right about everything.



Anywho since PMX is a fart in a glass jar...ton is the one who makes the only sense here.



the x is all that matters.
