I'm not sure where I introduced the home ice "disadvantage" the Hawks have suddenly, but you beat a so so Detroit team at the "Joe" and forget about the Caps, but have you been to a game at the "Gawden"?........I've been to louder funerals.
And looking forward to the Legion of Lightning...oh...that's LOL fans...oops...fan to show up....that Greyhound schedule is a bitch...

We're not winning the Cup with Vasilevskiy. It's an unfortunate truth.
You should have had at least 4 goals (on 19 shots), but the horseshoe finally fell out of his ass when he let in the winner. I thought the Lightning thoroughly outplayed the Blackhawks again. The goalie's were the difference - Crawford stood on his head, the Lightning peppered him all night (not real quality shots mostly, but made him work) while the Blackhawks had quality shots that went off the posts or went wide. Vas was beaten any number of times last night, and it finally caught up with him. Once again, Coop waits until less than two minutes to pull him, all the while the Lightning had full puck control in the offensive zone - once we had 6 on 5, we swarmed mercilessly - a few more ticks could very well have been the equalizer. Hopefully we get Bish back for the rest of the Finals. |

He waited until 1:29 and TB had already puck possession prior before pulling....way too long. If you add up the combined posts and missed open nets by both teams it would be a large number.

every goal in the game was sloppy, and for the most part that's gonna favor the hawks, Kilorn's goal was essentially an empty netter. Vaseline, looked like it was his first SC start which you really can't do much about, he was thrown to the wolves. The Hawks made horrible shot selections choosing to deke more, he was giving rebounds like a pogo stick, and if he plays again i'm sure they'll worry about putting more rubber on net. but how much blame can you put on your goalie, ANY goalie, for only giving up 2 goals to a team like the hawks? the dude can't block shots and score for them, Stamkos has been a ghost, que empty net shank in the final seconds, and though i haven't seen every game, the Hawks seem to have an answer for (IMO) Conn Smythe winner Tyler Johnson -bt- |

That's outplaying a team. Regardless of the final score - I've already acknowledged that Vas is the weak link. That said, it felt as if they were playing with an overall uneasiness with Vas in goal, and they were definitely playing a more protective brand of hockey than we've seen from them. The Hawks could have easily hung 5 on him that night. He is maddening to watch - I've seen they guy play like a HOF'er one night, then leak 6 to the Sabers the next - he's good, but inconsistent as hell. If he needs to go tomorrow night, we need his best - an effort like Wednesday will have the Hawks smelling blood. |

I thought everyone still playing is banged up one way or another. Hopefully this gets decided on Wednesday night. |

excuses? Not a chance. Fact. Even the lowly Rangers would likely have won a series where they faced a lightly used backup goalie in more than half the games. But you know that Tom ![]() |
