Stanley Cup Final IGT: Game 3 - Blackhawks @ Lightning 6/8 at 7:00 p.m.

[BlackHawkPaul]

The people that assume he's a top 10 goalie in the league is baffling. While he's an avg goalie, he's not a 6mil dollar one. Way over rated.

Put him on any other team and see how great he plays in front of "better" D than the Hawks.

You may see that before the 2015-16 season.

Remember when people were saying he should be on Team Canada for the Olympics???

I've never been a huge Crow fan. I'll admit he's stolen some games, but he's dropped turds as well. I don't think he's more than average in the league and when you pay 6 million for a goaltender, you expect a bit more.

I'm kind of there. We're rebuilding the back half of the D with some kids next year, I'd just as soon throw the bigger, more athletic Darling back there.

We could be talking Keith, Seabs, Hammer, TVR, Johns, Pokka, and Paliota. That's a lotta youth on the back end and they're not going to make the Keith/Seabs/Hammer play the minutes they're playing now for 82 games.

considering it was Corey Crawford vs Mike Smith for the #3 spot, yeah we expected Crow to be picked, and the injury is why he wasn't.

Canada isn't really swimming with goalies like it was 15 years ago.

 

[Shantz My Pants]

**** you Rex! Patrick Roy is always ready!!!

Crawford was horrible, but let's be honest here...he wasn't the only one. Toews sucked, Kane sucked, Sharp sucked, Hossa sucked, Bickell sucked, Seabrook sucked, Crawford sucked, & Oduya sucked.

I hope Keith and T² took that locker room apart. They looked like the only ones who came ready to play.

Crawford WON period 2 with no payback. He flat out won that period of hockey. He completely fucking raped Tampa on that 5 on 3 also. Sorry kiddies this isnt 1990s hockey anymore. Goalies dont dominate playoff games as much as they used to. Best you can ask for is for your goalie to win a period or two in a cup final game. Yah Craw could be better than he has been but keep ignoring all the great saves and moments he has had and keep focussing on the few bad ones. The guy at the other end hasnt been the best either. This isnt a goalie series and its a fucking shame that the team in front of Craw esp one Kane and one Toews havent been able to produce offense this series. Those are actually the two guys that should be the difference makers in this series and could have been the difference in games 2 and 3. They better be the difference makers in game 4.

Please with his awesome second period. He gave them the first and the third with the weak ass first goal and giving a goal up 13 seconds after the Hawks scored.....then giving up the entire 6x4 net by being on his knees completely out of the net

 

[TCD]

Fart fart fart. Maybe kane shouldnt take 0% short side back hand shots which are nothing but unrecorded turn overs. Remember when kane would slow down play in the offensive zone and control it? This series has been kane entering the zone taking a low percentage shot right away turning the puck over not covering or even giving a shit about trying to recover and watching tampa outlet faster than Toews falling down.

**** crawford. Its crawford vs ben bishop..goals will be scored and shitty ones at that. The difference should be toews and kane scoring shit goals on bishop..something they havent even been able to do. Complete travesty those two this series so far.

And we'll find out July 1st if we win Reilly sweepstakes, slotting another Johns level addition. I'm not give up on Runblaad if he can be retained cheaply either. That would also give us flexibilty to experiment with young forwards but be able to trade young defensmen if necassary near deadlines if none of them are panning out.

 

[PatrickShart]

If Toews or Kane score....Crawford will blow faster than you'd blow a 60yr old man anyways

I neglected putting Reilly in there, but that would be a coup.

Hossa sucked!?!

Come on, he was our only offensive player to show up. Two assists as well as great puck protection and possession in the offensive zone.

Yeah, I hope the soft spoken rookie stood on a chair and called out the multiple cup winners for drag-assing it.

:lmao:

"You like Finnish Cold? Get ready for some Finnish Heat, bitches!"

I wish Toews wasn't so Canadian Cold this series.

He also missed a wide open net that cost us the game.

Dude, you have no fucking idea on what you are talking about. Now you're just trolling to be a ****** about it. You bring no facts or knowledge of the game to the table/discussion besides "he cost us the game because he missed an empty net". That shit happened in the 1st period. They have 2 other periods to catch up (which we were ahead) and hold onto the lead.

I've brought up how your faulty logic doesn't work and you ignored that post. But I'll post it here again so maybe you actually read it and look at how dumb you sound.

Maybe if all our centers won every offensive zone faceoff, we would of created more offensive zone chances and won 29-2.

Maybe if Seabrook stopped that pass by Hedman, the game would of stayed tied.

Maybe if the puck wouldn't have been bouncing or spinning so fast we would of kept possession and created even more offense or able to break out easier.

Maybe, if the temperature was 1 degree colder on the ice, and the pucks were more frozen, we would of had crispier passes and shots.

Shit, I could blame every person on the team or in the arena for the loss with some asinine logic of yours if you wanted me to.

Sometimes I'd rather have IHN and the 5 regular posters over some of the dumb shit that gets spewed here.

That was in the first period. You have no idea how the game would have played out the last 50 minutes had we been up 1 after that. You can't just cherry pick one play at some point in the game, reverse it, and declare victory.

Because there's like a hundred of such plays in any game that don't go the way fans want them to go.

Don't you ever watch movies where people go back in time machines and **** everything up by doing something different? If Hoss had buried that, we could have been overrun by zombies by now.

:beerbang:

Logic doesn't work for Tribar. Nor will expound on his dumbass logic.
