Kings have four fucking shots that period and they score twice..... Awesome. Another soiled diaper of a period for the 'Hawks. Must not want to repeat.

Has Crawford made a save yet better than a peewee goalie would? Seriously. They need to find a good goalie next year. **** Corey Crawford.

Remember how quickly Game 2 swung out of the Hawks' favor? Same can happen here. One goal from a whole new game.

Hoping for different line combos in the 3rd. Perhaps Smith between Sharp and Kane. Maybe even Kruger. Whoever. Anyone but Zus.

Hawks seem disinterested. Slow to the puck. Not hustling at all.

Now, don't take this as a demand for the return of my guy Dave Bolland, because injuries robbed him of his effectiveness.

But this game is a prime example of why he was so vital to the team, IMO. He was a solid two-way center and you could always count on his line to shut down an opposing line that was on fire. Toews' line is currently occupied with Kopitar's. The Hawks have no answer for the Kings' 70s line.

First goal was iffy but not much chance on the other two. I keep saying this but its true....without Crawford we're watching Minny vs LA right now.

But if we traded Kane for Miller we'd have won our 5th Cup in a row by now.

Some real pathetic effort at times tonight. They're probably going to be down 2-1.

Bingo. Spot on as per usual.

If you're watching this game and Crawford is the first person you're blaming I'll have a hard time continuing the conversation.

No 2nd line center has been a problem all year.

Not necessarily a second line center, but a center with enough defensive responsibility that you could match him with another top line and not suffer on the scoreboard. Like the way Bolland used to own the Sedins and he was the 3C.

A 2C would certainly help, too. Teuvo as 2C and someone that can play D at 3C with Shaw on his wing would be perfect next year. Danault could (and I stress the could a ton) be that guy.
