pens on the ropes hawks roll
 

bring on phx

About to get awful interesting in this game. They were just taking shots at Kane like crazy. Sopel is gonna come in and wreck some havoc.

Nothing, i thought for sure someone was going to start some ****.

PHX? Where the hell have you been, Mars?
You're getting San Jose big man, the Hawks better get ready to dig in.

I thought i had missed something too or he wanted to play the Suns. San Jose should have no trouble with a tired Blackhawks team. It was a good run for the Blackbirds.

The Hawks played one more game than San Jose? Tired?

San Jose played nine-man against the Wings. I'm not sure they'll get the same benefit in a matchup with American poster-boy Kane, Canadian wunderkind Toews, and agitator extraordinaire Byfuglien.

:wf:wf

My first reaction is that he was talking NBA and I was going to let him know the Magic already beat the Hawks. Then, on my second or third reading, I figured out he was talking hockey.

go habs!

:rolleyes:

Possibly. Your Hawks are going to have thier hands full with the Sharks. Wings got destroyed by the Sharks.

It won't be easy, but they always play decently against the Sharks. They can handle the up and down teams..it's the trapping teams like Nashville and Minnesota that give them problems.

Hawks in 6

how the F can you roll your eyes at that, as a rags fan? :eek:

you can't possibly be rooting for cindy and the pens, i refuse to believe it.


as far as the west goes, san jose finally makes it out of the first round, this year might be density... i mean destiny.

as a fan of the game, this is what i think

boston takes care of michael leighton, thats right, MICHAEL LEIGHTON

pens take down the habs tonight.... roll boston in 5

chicago takes san jose to the brink.... san jose in 7

san jose over pitt in 6

** sidenote.... surprised nobody is talking about kane rocking the mullet

-bt-

He tried to grow a playoff beard LY and it looked like some kind of mutant radiation poisoning so he went the mullet route this year.

The Wings got "destroyed" by the Sharks because as Matthew Barnaby put it, some of the "worst officiating ever" ended any chance the Wings had in that series. I don't see how a team that wins a series with four one goal wins and one 7-1 loss "destroyed" the opposition.

Like I said, I think the NHL is going all NBA-like this postseason and basically calling the shots. If the Blackhawks don't win with their NHL golden boys, I'd be shocked. I don't think the Sharks are going to get anywhere near the number of power plays they were awarded in the Wings series - THE reason the Sharks won that series was because of a couple convenient 5-on-3's in both games one and two - and I'd think Kane and Toews and Duncan Keith and the woe-be-gone Bryan Campbell-less Hawks are being primed for a Stanley Cup (their first in the average American's lifetime) by Gary Bettman and friends.

I was teasing her because I thought it was kind of funny that there has been very little hockey chatter (especially from 2 of the main contributers, yourself and Miss Dani who happen just happen to be huge Caps fans) since the Presidents Cup winnners went out prematurely. Then out of nowhere a Go Habs post comes up. So I was just having a little fun.
Obviously there is no way in the world that I could root for that little **** (insert whatever 4 letter word you like, I'm think the one that begins with C) and the rest of the Penguins. Honestly I really haven't watched and I'm won't lose any sleep over whoever wins.
I just thought the post was a little comical knowing how big a Caps fan she is.

am i now allowed a period of mourning?? :mad: i haven't watched hockey since that awful game 7. but i just don't want to hear more about the great cindy, er sidney crosby. and please note, you must have cry to spell crosby. :D

:eek:

ok whatever the next hockey team to get smoked by the blackhawks..:mad::D

You, Math, and Zig are sick of Cindy, you should live in Pittsburgh, the Crosby love is constant and multiplied x1000. They are down 2-0 and the Penguin announcers' are already crying a river about the refs. This could be great, Go Flyers.

Les Habitants!!!!!:D

If you think it's bad in Pittsburgh now, just wait to Rothlisberger eventually get hauled off to prison.

Actually, the majority of the city would like to see that......over 68% in a local survey.

i can imagine....i saw where one of rooney's grandsons, who lives in florida, was asked who his favorite football team was....steelers, of course he said. but he admitted not liking the QB!

Frontrunner! :D


Jesus, how awesome has Halak been?

don't remind me.

I dont have a horse in this race and being from Scottsdale, not a hockey town, I still think the Sharks will win this series. But remember I think the Suns will win their series against the Lakers. Good luck to you Chicago fans, i know i am out numbered. Hey anyone want to buy a hockey team, we have one for sale.

i had the center ice package and i have to say, HANDS DOWN, staggy and Errey are the biggest homers i've ever heard, its soo much of a bias in their announcing i try and pick up the oppositions feed if at all possible, or just mute the damn thing.
"OHHHH staggy they're mugging geno in the corners, they gotta call that"

glad my jedi mind trick worked when i picked the pens in 7 :D

-bt-

that flyers goalie did pretty well last night. It would be cool to see them win Friday..

the nbc announcers are just about as bad when you're playing the pens. crosby is the 'great white hope' of north american hockey. hell, i still see people saying they don't like ovechkin because he's a commie. the amount of foreign players apparently distresses many-don cherry leaps to mind.

no wonder the coyotes are hurting. :D

VS coverage of nothing but the Penguins during the playoffs has been downright maddening. I'm no Habs fan, but thank God somebody put Cindy out of his misery.

As the resident Bs fan, I sure hope not. Not that it was expected at the start of the season or even the start of the playoffs, but a Bs vs Habs Conference Finals could be epic.

As an aside..Comcast Sports Net carries the Bulls, Hawks, Cubs and Sox. The Hawks clincher over Vancouver was the most watched game involving ANY team in their history...that is pretty amazing.

I think it speaks volumes about the rest of the sports landscape in Chicago these days.

Thanks Bob. It taken me a couple of decades to get over that one. ;)

Old time hockey. Gotta love it.

Gils Gilbert was my most fav Bs goalie evar. :tro:

This includes the Sox winning the World Series, The Bulls taking the Celts to 7 games and two Cub Division winners

Yeah, every team sucks besides the Hawks, and even those little bitches turn it into a drama flick.

you gotta come up with that save, my god man
