West - Round One

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Looks like Playoff Crawford has arrived

 

[Greg29fan]

Nashville went into Anaheim and won both games

 

[Buster Olney the Lonely]

First time the Preds have taken a 2-0 series lead. Hard to believe.

 

[InstantKarmma]

Looks like Playoff Crawford has arrived

Playoff Elliot, too. Chicago had 24 SOG in the third period.

 

[54thMA]

First time the Preds have taken a 2-0 series lead. Hard to believe.

I'm so happy for all those die hard, rabid Nashville fans, talk about a long suffering fan base, ranking right up there with the Cubs, pre 2004 Red Sox, the Indians, the Browns and countless other hard luck franchises.

Wow, what a feel good story.

 

[TFP]

As opposed to those ever suffering Ducks fans?

What a weird post. Hockey is alive and well in Nashville, the Preds have a big following there.

 

[LogansDad]

Yeah, I don't get the tone of that post at all. And I think Nashville is a pretty fun team to watch (although I think the Ducks are, too, and could care less who wins the series).

Not sure who peed in 54th's Spaghetti-O's at lunch.

 

[LogansDad]

Interesting... Minnesota finally made it to the playoffs, apparently.

 

[LogansDad]

Wow, Sharks up again on the first shot of the game.

Sarcasm...................do they still have that Holiday Inn lounge band playing between periods?

I'm sure it's a really hockey hotbed.

 

[54thMA]

Yeah, I don't get the tone of that post at all.

Once again, sarcasm

 

[The Napkin]

Yeah, maybe it's time to stop digging

 

[Dropkick Izzy]

Death, taxes, and Chicago getting the calls.

 

[The Napkin]

wow, Crawford threw a butty.

how is Chicago on a power play after that?

 

[The Napkin]

I would love to hear an explanation on how that is at worst even for the Blues. That's silly.

 

[Dropkick Izzy]

Fabri actually seemed to do a good job of not pancaking Crawford.

And Duncan Keith!

So tired of this team.

 

[LogansDad]

Ugh Chicago just won't go away. I don't even hate them, just want to see someone else win.

I will say, I feel like Western Conference hockey is a completely different sport at times than Eastern Conference hockey.

 

[The Napkin]

(insert shrug smilie here)

 

[LogansDad]

I am enjoying this guy doing play by play for the Chicago game, though. He's fun.

 

[jablo1312]

Elliott playing well, but truthfully the Hawks have had a few great chances they should've buried and failed to turn them into great efforts. STL has been outplayed IMO. Blues stealing this one would be huge obviously.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Shaw is a bonehead

 

[Ale Xander]

Gooniot

What a horrid penalty

 

[Ale Xander]

Revenge is a dish served deep

3-1 bluenotes pending offside review

Edit no goal

Hawks still have 37 seconds to tie up game 4

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Offside with an empty net

 

[Ale Xander]

3-1 it is

Shaw trying to get suspended

Troy Brouwer being Troy Brouwer too

 

[MiracleOfO2704]

Wow, this is ugly right now.

 

[Greg29fan]

Give Shaw game five off NHL

 

[TFP]

Stay classy, Blackhawks.

 

[jablo1312]

Lol Shaw fuckin clowning out there

They do great broadcasts. Very knowledgeable guys.

Andrew Shaw with the "fuck you fucking faggot" was classy. Hope that made someone's audio cut, because it was the easiest lip-reading I've ever done.

Roommate and I simultaneously called that one out. Absolute bunny of a lipread.

[Greg29fan]

That magic word got Kobe Bryant a $100,000 fine from the NBA once upon a time.

 

[kenneycb]

Simmonds almost got in some shit for that in a preseason game (towards Avery) a couple years ago too. Probably a fine in the playoffs. Better than nothing but progress I suppose.

Very happy one of my best friends right now is a Blues fan. Fun ass team to cheer for. Also happy to see my Hawks buddy respond to my question of how they got a PP after the Corey Hextall incident with "? I'll take it". Dude can still be my friend.

 

[soxhop411]

Shaw suspended one game

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Thank goodness we have Senior Executive Vice President of Hockey Operations Colin Campbell to help police sensitivity.

 

[nattysez]

San Jose almost found another way to choke away a game at home, but they managed to hold on tonight. They were up 3-0 after a PP goal about 2 minutes into the third period, then immediately gave up two goals before pulling themselves together. Not let's see if they can actually put away the series.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

So both Chicago and LA are down 3-1. I still have trouble believing one or both of them won't find a way to come back and advance.

I'll be shocked if the Blackhawks don't come out flying tonight.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Nothing for 32 minutes, and then a shorty(Chic) and a PP goal(St.L) within about a minute of each other. 1-1

 

[cshea]

3-1 Hawks after 2. Panarin back breaker with 0.4 left in the second.

 

[TFP]

Filthy goal by Fabbri to make it 3-2. God this is fun to watch.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

NBC just cut off a rant against Blackhawks/Blues starting games at 9:47 est

I was just coming here to post this. That was awesome.

 

[TFP]

Gotta love Eddie O. "His leg comes into contact with Elliott's left leg" as the Hawks player literally falls on top of the goalie and knocks him over.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Backes!!!!!!

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Tie game!

 

[LogansDad]

Tied, awesome. I love hockey.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

too many men... Blues pp

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Three straight games the Blackhawks have had key penalties late in the 3rd period

 

[LogansDad]

Overtime, yay!!
