(IST) WCF: (3) Chicago Blackhawks vs. (1) Anaheim Ducks

[Rex]

Doesn't really matter. It makes this board intolerable most days.

you can go back to IHN and be the last man on earth, jerking yourself off to your coaching skills.

but you have to take Variable with you.

Kesler and Perry think the Hawks are about to break. Are they right?

The dominant storyline heading into the Western Conference final was whether the Blackhawks — particularly their top-heavy defense — would be able to withstand the punishing attack of the Anaheim Ducks.

Four games and two wins apiece in, the Ducks are the only ones still talking about it. And they are. A lot.

“If we just keep doing the same thing over and over again, we’re going to wear them down,” Anaheim’s Corey Perry said. “As the series moves on, that’s beneficial for us.”


Added Ryan Kesler: “It’s going to wear them down. No human can withstand that many hits.”

So far, you are an awful poster.

Kesler says no human can withstand that amount of hits

Kesler misses 42 games over the past 5 seasons because he's made of glass.

I think I've heard/read something similar to this in every postseason series for the last 7 years.

PSA: Please know that any posts declaring the Blackhawks dead after Game 5 will likely be met with much significant and harsh ridicule should the Blackhawks come from behind in this series. And everyone will be pointing and laughing at you. So post with caution.

Not over at all. Ducks will come out flying in game 6 to try to end it, Hawks need to respond better than allowing a 3-spot in the first. I'd be surprised if it didn't go 7.

Are they playing the puck here? Cuz that's like 7 on 5 if they are.

The refs being blind as bats yet again, I see.

Theres a bit of speculation after game 6 that Hossa has been playing hurt this series and thats why hes struggling.

Not sure..its possible everyones playing with some bumps and bruises at this point. Were a few points in the game where it looked like he was protecting his right shoulder but thats just me looking for things that may not be there.

Thought he was better once Q took him off the first line. Had no issues with Richards as his center and wouldnt have since day one.

But yah let the Hossa is hurt rumors fly.
