Jackets will win tomorrow. Checke m
This is the first playoff series where we seem like the "old" team, the team that's been there a few too many times and maybe isn't as sharp or as hungry as a younger team. Last year wasn't that, that was just losing a series because a couple bounces and a couple games went the other way. It was still close.
This doesn't feel close. Even when we had the 2-0 lead tonight, it didn't feel as secure as it would have in the past. We were always second best on contested pucks, we couldn't break their defensive traps and couldn't get out of our own zone. Pekka Rinne has been massive this series, but we haven't put nearly the amount of pressure on him that we should. Most of our 36 shots tonight were not difficult saves he had to make. On the other side, Crow got absolutely peppered with all kinds of shots from all kinds of different angles. The Preds' cycling of the puck was tremendous, and their forechecking put us on the backfoot for 9 out of the 10 periods this series.
Having said that, this is still the most playoff experienced team out there. If there is one team that can pull off the miracle, it's this team IF they find their January-March form where we were steamrolling teams. But that's a huge IF.
The Preds remind me of the Hawks in 2010. It is a mix of fun youngsters with savvy old vets, a solid defense and a goalie playing out of his mind. All complimented by playing some intense hockey. So many times during this series I've looked at the Predators, stopped myself and just murmured "oh so that's what it would be like playing against us when we were on our best." And it's fucking infuriating.
I still believe. And this team has given me 8 years of the benefit of the doubt that they can come back and do some crazy shit like come back form 3-0 down. So until it's over, I'll be there./

I honestly think that these guys are just over winning championships .Some of the locker room favorites like shaw and Sharp are gone. Not too mention the tragic situation with Bickell. Keith just honestly looks slow. I'm not hating on them because I think id be the same way if I won three cups. Why risk your body doing the same thing you've done three times when you're young, rich, and can shorten your summer by two months?
I think they're still trying, I just don't think the fire is there. I even remember hearing Toews talk about not feeling that day ruining sting when he loses anymore on the Aubrey Marcus podcast.

I'm just really pissed off right now at the Blackhawks. But fuck it, I still believe they can come back from this. (If any team can, it's the Blackhawks). I don't care if you call me an idiot for believing. Obviously the next game is for all intents and purposes a must win, but the Hawks can do it. They can win in Nashville. They've done it this season. They tied the franchise record for most road wins.
Also for what it's worth, Nashville won the first two games in Anaheim last year then dropped three straight. Nashville ultimately won the series in seven games, but, you know the Ducks and game sevens. The point is Nashville can lose at home.
I think once the Hawks score ONE FUCKING GOAL, the floodgates will open and more will come. And, if they can pull off a comeback like this, that is some hella momentum to carry them through the playoffs.
But it all starts with taking it one game at a time. Just win on Monday. A 2-1 series is far from over.
>>75318564
Friendly reminder that the Los Angeles We Wuz KANGZ are the only team in the Salary Cap era to win 2 FULL cups in 3 years.
>>75318621
You got that backwards m8
Tell you what, prisoner. You roll a (last digit ending in) 7, your team wins the Cup.
Anything else... it's 10 years no playoffs.
I'm so sad to see this team like this. We were so good in the reg season, but now we can't get our heads on straight. We're playing like shit, missing passes, getting tripped up, and for fucks sake we can't figure out nashville's defense. This is not the same team we saw a month ago, it's not the team that Q nor anybody else in the organization should want, and it's not the team that an outstanding goalie such as Crawford deserves. Something's gotta change.

Does Jesus want the Flames to get memed on by the Ducks? This is the only explanation at this point.
>>75318633
I just want to die. I truly believed we were back in this series after the second period. I thought the Hawks believed that too. I thought they were going to fight every minute of the rest of the game. To see us let up three unanswered goals was heart-breaking. What's wrong with the defense? Why are we leaving Crow out to dry? What's wrong with the offense? Why can't we connect on any passes?
I'm so disappointed.

does the anime factor make the preds the single most divisive team in these playoffs? is it the secret of their powers?
I think I realized something when I was watching them tonight. Know how we always talked about that "next level" the Hawks could always elevate their play to? It's pretty evident that their baseline play is now not enough and their high gear is just enough to keep it competitive. We're just not as good anymore and our age of our core is really showing. I'm not sure if it's conditioning, motivation, or just age in general but they just aren't skating as hard and fast as they used to. Not to mention our defense is porous, and the offense can't put it together when they're getting roughed up. It's very frustrating to watch and I would love to know what Q and Bowman think the answers are.

The blackhawks may need to break up after this year. Especially if we get swept. It's good to trade away expensive pieces like hate to say it... But Kane and Towes... We can get some good players from the oilers like drestalt or the coyotes with their #2-5 pick.

You could trade Kane but you won't get much for Toews, he isn't worth his contract. Of course, they could also say "Fuck that" and exercise their NMCs to stay in Chicago. Anyways, this is how it's designed to work in the cap era. The Hawks went from shitty to really good and now they are cycling back towards shitty because their good players are too expensive and they don't have high draft picks anymore.

Being a flames fan is suffering
>>75318653
Nah, Calgarys just been losing steam in late game, particularly when the game is even or theyre in the lead. Dont know if its nerves or complacency. Also a couple of the big scorers (ex. Gaudreau) havent been living up to their expectations, although Monahans been good. The first two games were riddled with stupid penalties although clearly players like dougie got the message tonight and did a better job on that front.
I want to like the ducks, and I admire Geztlafs skill, but players like Perry and Kesler just make the team so unlikable. That sit on puck goon move springs to mind for Kesler and I dont even need to get started on Perry. Also the /sp/ ducks fans in those threads seem to fail to distinguish between banter and being a nuisance/aggravating without humour. Although that may well be just one or two guys.
I predicted ducks winning WCF but falling to the Pens in the SCF. But from this series Im almost assured that they'll lose to Edmonton. The ducks victories have mostly been because of failures by the flames, not great plays by the ducks.
Blawks are gonna reverse sweep and there's nothing you can do about it.

>>75318786
The Hawks are not built to be successful in the playoffs and they weren't last year either. They will only start to show more cracks the longer this core is using up an absurd amount of cap space and the team is forced to use AHL tier players to fill holes.
>>75318775
re-rollin'
>>75318786
The only thing that happened last series was Weber getting hurt and Jones not being good yet. And I'm pretty sure literally only Rinne from the current team played in the 2010 one, maybe also Fiddler? That kind of history only really matters to fans.
>>75318725

Fuck I lel'd when Smelliot let in the game tying muffin whiffing so hard on it with his glove then pointed to Rakell saying he was interfered with when Rakell was nowhere near him and the ref just ignored his faggot ass, just like everyone ignores the flamers fans
>>75318798
The Ducks are also playing this series without two of their best defenders (Fowler and Vatanen) who will likely be back in the next round and Calgary isn't missing anyone. Flames wouldn't be getting nearly as many chances if those two were playing.
>>75318747

Yeah they need to break up, what a shitty fucking team finishing first in the west and being down 3-0 to a goalie who is playing like a madman while getting average goaltending of their own.
I'm an Islanders fan but holy fuck most of you are retarded. The best part is how you make these statements with such confidence. There really needs to be a forum where to access certain boards (NHL,NBA,NFL) you have to answer a series of questions related to the sport, then have your responses reviewed by someone who isn't a high functioning retard to be granted access.

>>75318853
What? It is true though you fuck, the Hawks need to start clearing out cap space so they can actually rebuild, their defense is porous and their puck possession is not good enough to warrant any trust in the team having playoff success unless they get memed to W's by their vets

>>75318869
The thing is that they pretty much won't do it for another like 7 years when Toews and Kane are actually considered old. They are stupid about that loyalty shit. Just gave Seabrook a ton of money for no reason.
>>75318888

The hawks just don't have forward depth.
>>75318900
Is this what constitutes a "dynasty" now?
>>75318888
No dude, average possession numbers combined with a hapless defense (might improve, but none of the defensive prospects have looked very good, at all...) and tumbles creates a team that will lose a lot of playoff series
>>75318894
seabrook maybe, but he is 32 in three days and is signed until his late 30s for a nearly $7 mil caphit. not crawford at all though. there are cheaper goalie options out there than his six million
I thought the ducks were old shallow slow and dumb. They don't even have a top 10 point player.

I think this was according to plan. The national ratings were down this year because of all the Shitcago games. No one likes them anymore so he doesn't need for them to win.

Ducks vs Jackets is the ultimate NBC sudoku matchup this year but since Columbus is done for there aren't really any Stanleyb Owls that NBC would hate.

jajajajajaja
>>75320166
Look, I get that this is an absolutely terrible spot to be in, but some of the doom and gloom right now is goddamn ridiculous. Yes, we're down 3-0. Yes, Nashville has been the better team, and deserves their lead. Yes, the superstars haven't shown up how we expected them to, but look at the series again
Game 1: got off to a slow start, gave up an early one and were the better team for 2 periods and just couldn't find a way to put one past Rinne. 9 games out of 10 like that a puck goes in.
Game 2: We got torched. It happens.
Game 3: went up 2-0, scored one off a lucky bounce off the glass and another on a BS non call. Went to OT, admittedly got outplayed but we didn't get run out the goddamn building.
I'm not making excuses for this team. Toews has to be better. The big guns like Panairin and Kane need to get their asses in gear, but the series has been closer than the 3-0 lead suggests.
Now look, if you think the Hawks are gonna waltz through the next 4 games en route to the second round, you're delusional. If you think this team has no shot and bowman should just blow it all up and trade everyone, you're the other side of that coin. This series isn't over. This is still the same team that won the West. In a world where the Cubs can win the World Series, this team CAN come back. For now the goal is simple: just win one. Take it one game at a time.
Also you'd think the downvoting preds fans in this thread would learn to accept winning graciously. Oh well I'll forgive you, it's not like you have any experience with it before this
>>75320256

>>75320271
Maybe I can't think very coherently right now after a third straight demoralizing downvote, but I'm sorry, unless the Blackhawks manage to become the fifth team in NHL history to pull off the miraculous reverse sweep, I am done with Toews. He has been abysmal for two years now. This is the norm for him now. Everybody thought he was "back" during his good February, but that was actually an anomaly for him nowadays. How many playoff games now without a goal? It's just not acceptable. His contract is killing this team. You can't have two players with a 10.5 mil cap hit each in a salary cap world and stay competitive. And it's become crystal, crystal clear in recent years which one the Hawks should keep and which one the Hawks should move on from. I'll always be grateful to Toews for captaining the team to three Cups, but he is nowhere near the player he once was. Somehow the Hawks will have to get rid of his contract, but nobody will want it

Hes just mad that his 2nd rate Hockey country relys on Canadian boys to make his citys relevent in hockey.
There’s one word that comes to mind as quickly as any other when people are talking about Blackhawks fans: spoiled. You’ll hear it from opposing fans, media, and even other fans from Chicago. There’s an attitude that the Hawks have been so good to their fans over the years that we should all just be content for now no matter what happens.
Shockingly, sports fans don’t really operate that way. Nobody watches Season 8 of a television show and ignores that it sucks just because Season 2 was really, really good. People are gauging the immediate entertainment value of the product at hand, and you only get so many bonus points for entertainment provided in 2015 when it’s now two years later.
This is something I thought about as you could hear boos raining down from the United Center crowd late in a 5-0 Game 2 loss to the Predators on Saturday night, as if anyone should be surprised people didn’t enjoy paying hundreds of dollars to watch a crappy hockey game. Such spoiled Hawks fans!
The worst fans, clearly, are the ones who care, right? It’s not like those fans in the UC spent hundreds on tickets, parking, and concessions, so they just had the reasonable expectation that anyone else would’ve had: provide an entertaining product, please. The 5-0 loss to the Predators, for one reason or another, didn’t fall into that category. Even Nashville coach Peter Laviolette said he was surprised by how things had gone.
Yes, that’s part of the risk you take as a sports fan. Not every game you attend will be a thriller or a blowout win. That mystery is part of what makes it all so exciting. But every fan should be able to admit they go to these games hoping their team doesn’t totally suck. And when that’s what happens, should anyone really be surprised about expressions of frustration?
Blackhawks fans undeniably expect a lot from their team, and maybe that’s not always easy to live up to. But at the same time, really, that’s the problem? You want fans who are content with mediocrity? Remember the Dollar Bill Wirtz era? There’s a balance to be found between trying to enjoy everything and understanding that it’s okay to want more. Anyone who tells you this season was a waste of time is being hyperbolic, but is it really unreasonable to be frustrated after a 5-0 loss in arguably the biggest game of the season?
So I say let them boo when the time is right. Sometimes things really do stink enough that it’s okay to wail out in disapproval. It’s natural, really. You know those same fans will be cheering out of their pants if things turn around. But the Blackhawks aren’t above frustration at this point. They’re still asking for your money in exchange for a product, and you should want that product to be the best it can be. Sometimes the fans can be spoiled, no doubt, but there’s nothing spoiled about what happened Saturday night.
when the bluejackets scored the tying goal on Sunday, Crosby decided that he was interfered with, he brought his posse of guenztel and rust over to the linesman and cried of a penalty, meanwhile the other refs looked at the lines man and shook their heads one said "should we get a tissue box?"
>>75320834
>>75320825
>>75320815
I wouldn’t have left, and I damn sure wouldn’t have booed.
It’s not the first time a bunch of Blackhawks fans had me mortified.
There was no great mystery as to why we were getting killed.
Laviolette puts all his guys in the neutral zone, & we cant make the transitions. You got that, Q? Jeez.
Our PP is bad. No threat. Our PK isn’t a lot better. Campbell is past it. Keith never did that well. Best stick to 5v5.
Nothing personal, but Johnny Oduya is no longer a capable defenseman. I’d rather see Kempny.
The hardest thing of all: Duncan Keith. 2015’s jaw dropper. He’s getting killed. I don’t know what to do, but DONT pair him with TVR.
Keith has done so much for the Hawks. He’s one of the greatest athletes that’s ever been in Chicago. He keeps choking.
Maybe we burned him out. If it’s in his head, the BOOING helps a lot, you ungrateful shitheads.
And what of Quenneville? We know how they are going to play us!! Shut off the blender, & put on your glasses!
Actually, I don’t think Toews has any question as to how we’re being beaten. He himself can answer "trap & collapse".
But for those of you booing? BOOING? This team has given us 3 Stanley Cups!!, & we get shut out, & follow it with a bad game.
Sure, BOO them, you friggen mouth breathers. I hope your tires were slashed when you left early.
You make me sick.

Not even jackets fans boo their team
I feel like being ride or die for your team is how you get franchises that are complacent in their mediocrity
Such as the Bulls or Bears, who fill up their arenas even if they’re just okay, so they’re content being just okay because that’ll allow them to run profitable businesses. Most teams with big fan bases got that way by winning a lot, but it’s frustrating when they don’t need to be good to be successful. I can understand why you’d object to booing THIS team, because of what they’ve done in the past and the situation they’re still in with a very winnable series, but I very much believe fans have the right to boo teams all they want. You don’t owe loyalty to teams when they constantly change cities, etc. They’re in it for the money as much as anything, and while I’m all for supporting things you love so they prosper, I don’t think it’s worth being blind to that fact.

the inside of the door is out of play but ohio wouldn't know since nobody plays hockey in that state
So Sunday when the wild game had just started I was working outside and using the mower, there is a really hot part that is exposed and I touched it, giving me a second degree burn on my pinky finger, next during the hockey game I decided to smoke some weed and get high and laugh at the wild, so I got my bong out and started smoking, I got pretty high and finished off the bud, I twirled the stick lighter around ( too stupid to use a cig lighter) and i hit the hottest end on my wrist, while I was laughing at the wild, my finger still hurt at the time I put it on ice and now my wrist hurts, that is how I burned my self twice while laughing to the thought and watching the mild eat shit

Booing your own team is useless and doesn't make things any better
It’s only a way to vent and express your anger – well, the boyz don’t need it, they’re angry, too, and much more than you fans could ever be.
In big hockey markets up north, where hockey is basically a religion, fans often boo their teams when things are going bad. I’ve seen Habs fans doing it ever since I was a kid, and I can’t recall a single time where it actually helped. Most of the time, it causes the opposite – it sets the managerial and coaching staff in panic mode, as they try to calm the popular anger, which often result in bad decision-making.
Now, this is a free country, and people have the right to express themselves within the confines of the law, and booing is certainly not prohibited. Just be aware, you booers out there, that your behavior has never, is not, and will never, help your team anyhow.
>>75320897
I'd say reddithawks but their fans are too casual to care
Holy fuck, is there really no one that can stop the Penguins even with an injured defense man? they have basically guaranteed spot in the ECF now.

Well guys I guess I'll just die, this series has been a disaster. Stan better fix this shit because this team is a goddamn meme team.

Malkin is literally better than 99% of the players in the playoffs.

3 rings for 3 decades of badness seems about right
Thats how much we had to endure before the 3 rings

Watched the ducks flames highlights and wow... Is there a more refpuck team than the ducks? All those highstick goals.
>>75320969
Yeah but I really doubt Lafffs or Caps will beat them
>>75320975
Penguins aren't as shit as they used to be, Crosby is barely the best player on the team

I cared more about the wolves than the Hawks for stretch as a kid. It is sad to think that an AHL team was briefly more successful than a historied NHL team under Dollar Bill.

He was pointing out that the puck deflected off the open Columbus bench door, which it did.
>>75321058
Its truly a shame isn't it?
What was Detroit's secret to success and why couldn't anyone reproduce it? The kings and Blackhawks both tried. Now it looks lile the Penguins will try. But still none are close.
What was Detroit's secret?
>>75321022
As a leaf fan I actually don't know who can beat the pens in the east which is fucking stupid because they don't even have letang. I wanna say the habs but they are weak as fuck upfront especially compared to thepens .

It's the bandwagon team of NHL and reddit is full of bandwagoners.
Also there is this one annoying shitposter who calls everyone a redditor who happens to be a reddithawk fan. So that increases the reddithawking.
>>75321083
there was no salary cap you stupid bandwagon retard
>>75321083
>What was Detroit's secret?
most the streak occurred during without the salary cap, the last 13 years have just been the wongs bleeding their system dry
>>75321083

>not close

Feels good desu
Have Craps fans killed themselves yet?
>>75321097
Makes you think
Which has more bandwagoners? Reddit or /sp/?
Greetings
Am i too late to shitpost about the caps
>>75321108
the penguins have even reached the hawks level of success, let alone reaching the lofty heights the wings achieved
>>75321117
>does the sub with 350k subscribers and bandwagon flair have more bandwagoners than a group of 50
Hmmmmm
>>75321109
>still mad at Hawks
The Penguins are the new Bandwagon team now
>>75321058
No, I'd rather go through an actual rebuild than watch Stan shit out teams that make the playoffs every year and then lose in the first round. Hawks are on the way to a Detroit-style death.
They can still become a legit team with a lot of the pieces they have right now but core members are going to have to leave in the next couple of years so they can get some cap room.
>>75321060
Nice dude you got me
>>75321120
Yes. You owe me 20 >rags if you want to shitpost about the caps.

Pens would have 5 cups if not for injuries desu
>>75321158
>vancouver would have 5 cups if not for the fact they didnt win 5 cups
>>75321168
>Chicago would have 2 cups if they didnt cheat the system
>>75321083
In the 90s, it was dumping a shitload of money at players. It was also the best scouting and drafting, something every team has caught up on.
Drafting steve was our second choice , but you can see how well that worked for us. Lidstrom also came in later picks, as well as fedorov. After the cap, it was datsyuk and zetterberg, which you cant reproduce. You just gotta get lucky
>>75321168
Vancouver is a stinky smelly team of dog eaters that will never ever win anything
>>75321151
Well he'll have to take a shitty deal but I'd rather have the cap space.
>>75321158
Wings would too
>>75321117
/sp/ has a ton, but /hoc/ doesnt
not including finns because they dont count
Still reddit has more because more people
>Hawks would have 4 cups, including a three-peat, if not for a shitty bounce off Nick Leddy
