I'd recommend undergoing psychological evaluation if you thought the TB goal in Game 1 was soft or fluky.

What I thought was that Crawford wasn't ready. He was preparing to get into defensive position, and got caught napping. It's no crime to allow one goal in a game, of course. And he played well overall in Game 1. But he just flat out got caught napping on that goal.

And anyone who thinks he is playing well tonight is drunk or so totally unobjective there is no point in discussing it. He has been beaten several times, including two off the post, and has not looked at all like he is "in the game" - which is something he has always had trouble with: Consistency.

Alright 3rd period time.

Need the top line to step up and stop depending on the 3rd and 4th line to do all the work and for your goalie to carry all the weight of this game on his shoulders. Im looking at you Toews, Saad and Kane. Tampa too fast for you divas? Lets get the lead out. A little more malarchuking and a little less Petr Nedveding.

I never said he was playing well tonight.

The deflection today for the tying goal, was definitely less on Crawford, but you cant let a puck that is deflected at that distance from the goal to beat you near post.

And the fact that the shot was three feet wide of the right post and still beat him short side. if the deflection goes to the other side, understandable, but the only thing to do in that situation is hug the post.

Clearly, since I didn't attend a Blackhawks game until 1968, I am a band wagoner and not a real fan. With that disclaimer out of the way, I have to question some of Kane's decisions in the second period. I'm sure that will be read by some as me screaming the sky is falling and we have no chance.

Really wish I could dislike right now. So many people who deserve it.

You have to listen to talking heads on TV instead of watching/analyzing the game yourself?

Must be a new fan.

Don't be an asshole.

I am watching and I see a goalie playing like shit, and I think it is obvious, yet you think he has been brilliant.

And I pointed out that others who have eyes also think he has been playing like shit tonight, and you respond like an ass.

I didn't think it was even debatable, but somehow you're on the wrong side again. you think he has played well. I find that impossible to believe, i think you just want to argue, as evidenced by your repeated Toews troll posts.

Because EVERY shot hasn't gone in, he has been good? You certainly have low expectations if this is considered a good performance.

Shut up and blame Crawford for everything!!! How dare you think outside the box and suggest that Kane of all people had a bad period.


oh wait...he did.

The Hawks have already won one game in TB and can do it again tonight. I think the Hawks are going to get some oddman rushes because TB will overcompensate for how the play the 3rd last game. I think the Hawks are in good shape.

I can't be the only one that feel like the hawks are trying to cruise and are skating very slow

Haven't you heard? Toews and Crow are the real we suck of at least that's what I've been told on here.

Crawford's play tonight aside, I think TvR (if he is actually ready), needs to play the rest of this series.
