What a fucking Game 1.
Crawford shits the bed. Hawks down 3-0 as a result. Darling comes in. Hawks immediately score three to tie it. Darling stops 42 straight shots. Keith wins it.
I need a Darling jersey.

As is well documented, I don't give any shits about hockey, but I have no idea how you guys do this all the time.
Seems like every single Blackhawks playoff game goes at least 1 overtime and the entire time is completely anxiety-filled, non-stop action.
I can only assume you use each period/overtime break to chase down 5 joints with a bottle of Valium.
You people are insane.

Got to sleep after publishing my recap about 1:30, got called for work about 3:00, finally wound up with about 3 hours sleep.

Nashville Dave might have to come back for game five if it's another victory.

I'd be lying if I said my favorite part of a Blackhawks series win wasn't retweeting asshurt fans of the other team.
I look at the remaining playoff teams and go over it in my head and keep coming to the same conclusion: this thing is the Hawks to lose.

I don't know anything about Hockee other than what I hear you people say and stuff. But Anaheim does seem like a motherfucker to do hockey stuff against. Like they take the puck away and they are fixing to do stuff with it. Not like all the other sorry teams the Hawks have been clowning on this postseason. Correct me if I'm wrong but was that not an excruciating pair of games? And is this fucker not about to go 7-ish?
TL;DR: The Ducks are really good right?

Next two games, Q gets the last change, which means Kane gets free.
It also means he can hide Timonen more effectively, because he is a shell of his former self.

The Ducks' biggest weakness last night was magnified on the winning goal. Clayton Stoner was so intent on pushing Andrew Shaw out to the blue line that Marcus Kruger was loitering like a damn vagrant right next to the post. As the series progresses, they will continue leaving defensive assignments to chase hits. And there is no team more resilient against hit-happy teams than the Chicago Blackhawks.

Yeah, but I felt like after the way they played for the first 40 they weren't '03 LCS-ing that game away.
Plus I predicted that I would be really drunk by the end of Game 6, and I was right about that.
That was a goddamn clinic. If the Hawks have 4 more of those in them, it's Cup time.
One of my kids pointed out last night that Bruce Boudreau and Sir Topham Hatt were seperated at birth...

I saw some flashes of Don Zimmer. Could have been all the Warped Speed I'd been a drinking, though.
Not resizing, because it's the best thing ever.

Yeah the Hawks are jinx-proof. They're so good that our shared fear of shit going to hell at the 11th hour doesn't even exist.
A day after the nut-punching OT loss in Game 5, I told my dad that I actually kind of felt bad for the Ducks, that they were so excited and that it was as close as they were going to get to winning the series. Such hubris would've gotten me sent to my room as a kid as feeling sorry for your opponent before the game or series was over violated one of the Cardinal Rules concerning jinxing. Indeed, in late 1983, the Bears suffered a tough late-season loss to the Packers, but not before they actually had the game in hand and the cameras panned to Green Bay coach Bart Starr, whom was likely fired at the season's end. My mom--remembering Starr as the NFL standard-bearer QB that put that bullshit AFL in its place--vocally expressed sympathy for Starr, at which point my dad got very upset. Sure enough the Packers rallied back and won the game and my parents nearly got divorced over it.
But not this team. They don't have any of the baggage that all of the other non-Bulls teams that we've rooted for seemed to have. Things may have seemed a little tense in the second period but once the Hawks scored the 3rd goal in the 1st that game was in the bag and I wasn't afraid to think as much at the time.

Yet another reason why I would watch the ever-loving shit out of a Huey biopic. I guess we need to wait to get started on production until after you have a grabber in the stands at Wrigley after someone stands up a few seconds too soon for your taste.

As a point of fact I literally
was once sent to my room after walking into my dad's room while he was sitting on the edge of his bed listening on the radio to the end of a Sox game in which they were losing (he listened to the games because he'd have been damned if he would pay any money to Reinsdorf and Einhorn for their bullshit SportsVision, even if it meant we could see Blackhawks and more Bulls game).
I asked him the score and he told me the Sox were losing with two out in the 9th and I flippantly said "Oh this game's over". As soon as I said that my dad shot me a glare as we listened to (Don Drysdale's?) call of Jerry Hairston hitting a lead-changing walk off home run.
Yeah I got stories.
Back on topic...the Lightning's bottom 6 forwards have a combined 8 points in the playoffs. So all the Hawks have to do is play top sixes even, not take a million penalties, and this might even take 6 games.

Not to mention other than their 1st pairing their defense is pretty fucking average - the difference being Cooper plays them all an even amount. I'd make Hedman play 30 minutes a night if I were him.

I remember feeling resigned to a Game 7 in 2013, with 2 minutes left in Game 6, and built myself up by virtue of the fact that I had a ticket--but I was still disappointed initially. Then 17 seconds later I was 100% happy as shit.
I get the sentiment but just fucking win it. Being picky about how or where is poor form.
Besides, Grant Park. Be happy that there's waiting for you at least.

That's some bullshit toleration there. The Hawks are so much better than Tampa Bay (Hockey in Florida? Really?) they should be able to win the series in whichever game they choose.

Seriously, blow them the fuck out so hard in game 1 that the series ends right there, no need to go on, the Booing of the Commissioner commences immediately and then they party in Tampa for a couple days then roadtrip/parade all the way from Florida to the Chicago lakefront, picking up all kinds of social diseases along the way. Also I want to see how much Kane can still drink.

I've never been so insulted on someone's behalf as I am for Marcus Kruger right now.
Nothing like a guy who doesn't know shit about the Cubs. despite watching them every day, analyzing a hockey team he clearly never watches.
Quote from: guy who writes stupid things
Kyle Hendricks: Patrick Sharp. Sometimes overlooked, nearly always consistent.
Can someone explain what "nearly always consistent" means? He's consistently consistent except when he isn't?
He's a consistent enigma.
Al's a consistent enema.

Nothing. It's worth nothing.
QuoteRizzo could also be called the Cubs' "Captain Serious," though he's seen laughing and having fun more than Toews is.

I'll never forget that one, where a guy who basically has built his entire "career" off of never having given up on the Cubs after watching them every day for 70 years, made an argument for how the Blackhawks drove him away by being a bad, poorly run team in the 70s.

Which is really funny when you consider that the two franchises were on somewhat of the same track--end of a solid run that ended without a championship followed by a malaise.
Except the mid-to-late 70's Cubs were generally a worse team in that time.

I do find the terror from so many Hawks fans nauseating. They were just here a series ago. They're here nearly every series, they win most of them. Not saying you have to be happy about being down 2-1 but they've got quite the track record. I'm not worrying till Tampa's got that 3rd win, dammit.
Maybe this is just because I'm not as emotionally attached to hockey, which, even with football's recent downfall, has only taken the spot of third favorite sport behind baseball and Panamanian Bear Wrestling, but I ain't scared.

Seems like every single Blackhawks playoff game goes at least 1 overtime and the entire time is completely anxiety-filled, non-stop action.
I can only assume you use each period/overtime break to chase down 5 joints with a bottle of Valium.

Nope, there are designated areas for SRO - but the view & brews in the 300 level aren't among them. Best spot is around center ice across from the press box - you might be able to scam a folding chair over there too.

I've always liked Crawford but I've never really felt like he's an "elite goalie", whatever that is--and I don't think it even matters. The Hawks have never
needed an elite goalie (they won a cup with Niemi for crissakes), but I just feel that Crawford's a very good goalie on a very good team who has never really shat the tub, 2012 against Phoenix excepted. That's good enough for me.
That is to say, if the Hawks win and Crawford wins the Conn Smythe over Duncan Keith, that that'd be some fucked up shit.

Brian Hedger, who gets all his information directly from the Hawks' front office, says Sharp is gone in the next week.
Which everyone figured anyway.
The big surprise seems to be Brad Richards being willing to take another cheapie contract to keep looking to his right and seeing Patrick Kane.

As is well documented, I don't give any shits about hockey, but I have no idea how you guys do this all the time.
Seems like every single Blackhawks playoff game goes at least 1 overtime and the entire time is completely anxiety-filled, non-stop action.
I can only assume you use each period/overtime break to chase down 5 joints with a bottle of Valium.
You people are insane.
We got a pretty good payoff though.

Adding in that getting Mike Reilly (supposedly he's down to the Hawks and Wild) means next year's blue line will have 3 guys with a combined 9 Stanley Cups and 3 guys with a combined 22 games in the NHL (Reilly, Johns, Van Reimsdyk).

Intrepid Reader Joel Quenneville: Yeah, sure Fork, we'll definitely be starting the season with what amounts to 3 rookie defensemen in the lineup.

And they won't replace Carcillo with some other absolute fucking moron. There's always a first time for everything. Lol

Think they at least try keeping Desjardins. And get him into the regular season and he can ramp up the stupid with the best of them.

He can play though. I mean there's a non zero chance the Hawks break camp with some extra turd, whether he's usually a scratch or not - unless they feel like Hartman or Ross is going to be Carcillo/Bollig. They love carrying a middleweight and they've broken camp with one every single year. I don't see that changing when last year they had no reason to do so but did it anyway.
But yeah I think Desjardins comes back.

I think since if he comes back he'll be the 4th line LW, he'll embrace his inner Burish quickly enough.
No idea where else to put this, so...
Michael Frolic just got 4.3MM per year from Calgary.
Duncan Keith is at 5.3MM per.
Let that set in for a bit.

I mean Keith signed years ago it's not really fair to compare. But UFA players get such stupid contracts because this system is total garbage. It's embarrassing to watch it play out.
The Hawks just got themselves another cheap Russian from Panarin's old team. First round pedigree, winger. Stan's looking for inefficiencies in the market.
He's really, really good at his job.

That's a fair point.
What if I told you that Sekera got 5.5 per?
Or that Jakcman got 2 per? (To keep the vitriol alive in all our black, hate-filled hearts he signed with Nashville.)
Kessel is a Penguin now, too.
