NHL

Once Duncan Keith's play declines, the Hawks will too unless they have a replacement #1 D in their system. Ville Pokka in the Hawks system is supposed to be good, but I don't know if he's a #1 D though.

Also I don't think Corey Crawford is that good of a goalie, but is just surround by great talent to cover up his deficiencies.

I thought Detroit would at least get a split in Tampa given all Tampa's injuries.

So did I but the way things are going, it'll take a shakeup of the whole team to win. We're relying too much on our veterans, won't play our kids, and the guys we need to produce just aren't producing. We send down our great PP guy but call up a PKer who plays the least TOI of anyone. 

Johnson even though only 2 years reminds me of Danny Briere kinda coast through the regular season, then light it up in playoffs

Lundqvist is so dreamy.

Fuck Dallas. 

That wasn't a goal.

The NHL challenge system is a joke. Not to mention they review the challenges on tablets.

@Limerlight do you think the Wild can hold serve and win both games in Minnesota?

This series reminds me of the 2014 Colorado series a bit  We'll see.

No Parise no Vanek hurts a lot

Maybe they can win both games without Parise & Vanek. Then maybe they can come back for games 6 & 7?

Even though the Blues won today, I think the Hawks take the series in 7.

Predators lead series 2-0! 

^That was totally unexpected. I didn't expect Nashville to win both games in Anaheim.

Thats's why playoff hockey is the best because anything can happen. 

The Flyers are hot garbage!

Big win for Minnesota & LA last night.

Toews, Kane, Seabrook, Keith, & Crawford are all locked up for a long time. 

 

We'll also be winning for a long time. There's a reason we have won 3 cups since 2010. Stan Bowman is the best GM in the league and knows how to retool quickly. 

 

Go Hawks. #DynastyReign

First of all, I am a lifetime 'Hawks fan.(The Stadium will always be the greatest place to have seen a game) and we're in a bit of trouble here. But we seem to thrive on dug holes.

Bowman is a mastermind and he has a year to sort out the Panarin thing, among others. The short-term outlook is pretty bright for us.

But that's not important right now. #fucksaintlouis.

And while we're at it, #fuckthecubs. Go Sox!

 

This 8:42 pm puck drop start time is utter bullshit.

Good on you Pat Foley for calling the NHL out about it.

Now hold on to this fucking lead Hawks.

Aaaaand I jinxed it. Hawks just don't have any heart this series.
