Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!

Let the heavens roar!!

May the sound of superpak sticks shattering slapshots forever pound in an eternal echos through the haunted minds and lives of these dirty sloppy pigs like a moab roaring through deep stone cut graves!

Just in time rask....that sound you're hearing is the massive exodus of Hawk fans turning off their TV.

This team misses Andrew shaw in the playoffs in the worst way. Time to sit Crawford

 

[darkvirage]

Someone get them the shittiest, dirtiest bus to drive to Nashville.

Those "fans" would be missing out. 20+ minutes of playoff hockey left and the Blackhawks can certainly get going. Need to do more but a 3 goal lead isn't impossible to overcome. Tough, sure...but not impossible.

Look...I know the Blackhawks aren't playing great right now, but I think a lot of people are overlooking how well the Preds are playing in these last 5 periods. Rinne is solid and their defense is just completely bottling up the Blackhawks. Blackhawks have to change it up, but a tip of the hat to the Preds is deserved. Plenty of game and series but they Blackhawks are certainly behind the 8 ball right now.

This team lacks toughness. No bodies in front of the net. Missed passes, completely clueless on power plays. Can't blame them. This team is done

We couldn't overcome a 1 goal lead in game 1 lol, this one is over.

So because they couldn't overcome a 1 goal lead in game 1, they can't overcome a 3 goal lead in game 2? Makes absolutely no sense. Odds are definitely against them, hell they are highly against any team that is down by 3 goals...but common. Odds are the Blackhawks don't come back...but that doesn't mean there isn't a chance.

I don't even recognize this team.

A 4-3 Hawks win wouldn't surprise me but this is fucking awful man.

Or maybe the Hawks just lack toughness. Never found someone to replace Shaw. He was the glue guy in the playoffs.it was a nice season.

 

[darkvirage]

Preds definitely the more focused, dedicated team right now. Hawks look disorganized, slow, and frankly, uninterested in matching the Pred's effort right now.

I forgot it was a best of 9 period series and if you win 5 periods, you win the series. Probably a 95%+ chance the Blackhawks end up down 0 - 2 at the end of the night...season isn't over yet. I mean, seriously people...

Did it in 2015...But this looks to be different. I don't know if they are going to dig deep enough to get it done tonight. They have to play like it's game 7. That's how hard Nashville is bringing it.

Pretty disappointing day of watching sports between this and the Cubs.

Yeah im going with the odds here, this is over.

If they prove me wrong I would be ecstatic.

Until this team shows otherwise. The only thing that they have shown is they can't play good hockey.

I think we go down 0-2, win 1 in Nashville, come back here down 3-1.... make it 3-2, win game 6 to force game 7 in Chicago and lose the series in game 7 at home, much like tonight.

Idk why but they look like shit at home.

EDIT: Yes I know we would win 1 at home... we would have 1 good home game, and then shit the bed in game 7.
