Game 5 IGT: Blackhawks @ Predators IGT 4/23 at 8:30 p.m.

[TCD]

I'm still baffled at how it went from 1-1 to 4-1 in like 2 minutes

Bad goal by darling..dumb penalty by rozi after said bad goal = pez is right Q probably should have called a time out before the pk to get the fans out of the moment and settle his team esp Darling..who didnt look good on that pp goal either. He cracked.

Game 6 will be an interesting decision. I think Q sticks with Darling but you never know. How much do you want to rotate goalies in one series? Dangerous...stick with Darling

Come on Keith, can't clear it, then you ice it.


...and another Keith shot is blocked!

...and all hell breaks loose!

Versteeg's pass emblematic of the Hawks game tonight.


...apparently everyone has left.

What a mess that 3rd period was...

Was it him who failed to clear the puck on that Forsberg goal? That was just pathetic

 

[Pez68]

Keith was awful tonight. Good news is, he usually bounces back strong.

yarp!

So game 6 goes into at least double overtime if the pattern sticks.

Pretty much done with this series and ready for it to end. Seen too much of Riebero and these Preds i am spent.

 

[Pez68]

I'd like to see the Hawks get up big in game 6, and then Versteeg goes out and just ends Ribeiro, getting suspended for the remainder of the playoffs. That would make my weekend.

But who would Q bounce with bickell on that second line every fucking second shift? Yah i went there...ill feed into the Q fucked up a lot tonight.

 

[ChiCityMadness87]

I don't know what is more irritating. The fact that Bickell got paid and now he finally hasn't shown up in the playoffs (like everybody predicted), or the fact that we need a complete rebuild of our defense, yet we traded all our young stud defenders before the trade deadline.

God how I wish we had Clendenning and Dahlbeck right now....not to mention Leddy

Q will never do this, but drop Bickell and bring Teuvo in again.

Saad - Toews - Hossa
Sharp - Richards - Kane
Teuvo - Vermette - Versteeg
Shaw - Kruger - Desjardins

Also our first PP died the moment he touched the puck

 

[ChiCityMadness87]

Also....

....WHY THE HELL IS OUR POWER PLAY SO BAD!?!?

I am convinced we don't practice it at all. Nashville (and all the other teams in the playoffs) can effortlessly enter the zone and set up their PP, but every time the Hawks get on one, they dump, chase, and fail to contain the puck, or they try to enter the zone by skating in, but get poke checked and lose the puck. This isn't the first season or playoffs where I have noticed this.

I've noticed that the Hawks PP has been pretty atrocious every since I hopped on the bandwagon during the last cup run. Their PK group is usually pretty good though.

Man...I miss Leddy

 

[DMelt36]

So what the **** happened tonight boys?

Versteeg is the odd man out. He is horrible, and TT can replace him without missing a beat.

At least Bickell is getting credit for running into people out there. Versteeg just turns over the puck every time it touches his stick.

Special Teams have been awful this series. This is a game we needed. This team needed that win for valuable rest.
