Congrats on an awesome run!

Streak is now in the rear view mirror - time to focus on the Cup.

We're in agreement on this! Who cares if he punched some guy in the face or not. They play aggressive, they play fast, they are hard to play against (says everyone they play). Add a lower line player that can win faceoffs and take your chances in the real season

Dude, all of that is true , they may be the best team in the league , fastest , most skilled, but aren't you sick and tired of seeing Toews, Keith , Kane , all getting extra shots after the whistle in meaningless games.

I am .

Also if Bollig is going to be on the roster then he needs to actively do something . When he has nights like tonight that Morin , Hayes or Smith could of had then why is he here ?

Bickell should have started with Landeskog . He elbowed Keith in the head because he is the Captain of the team that beat the Hawks. He elbowed Keith in the head, you know head shots are no joke right ? Bickell has ben playing well but he is still just Bickell, he should have done something more than taken a 2-10 misconduct in a 5-2 game.

But if we had 5 more hits in the game we might have won right?

Yes. Time to get back to regular hockey and focus on the important things... Who do we need to get us a CUP!!

They don't need anybody....when is the last time some trade dead line deal helped a team in the playoffs and win a cup!

Trd deadline deals are way overrated....

Seriously ?


You guys don't have a problem with Keith Kane and Shaw getting blatant elbows with no respond in a 5-1 game ?? I must be on an island
- mrpaulish

I got a prolem with it too, just dont want to be alone on island with you. :-) Cant stand when they dont defend each other, dont care what the score is.

All four second - period goals on Crawford were short-side: time for him to go to school before his next game.

They'll start losing a lot more if they're all out with concussions from all the cheap shots. Landeskog or however the phuck you spell his name should be the last one pulling that sh!t since he just came back from a cocussion himself. Little piece of sh!t. Bickell should have put him back in the hospital.

Seriously ?

Yes it would have been nice to see some tit for tat. They didn't show up tonight and were outplayed pretty much everywhere on the ice. How many times has that happened this year? By my count twice (CGY the other) and they won that one. Doesn't matter if it's a 48 game season or 82, occasionally you get your a$$ kicked.

Happened tonight, take a deep breath.

nice run boys! it had to end some times but i do agree with some: Q needs to, at some point unleash his guys !!! getting hit in the back of the head, face washed or a boot in the ass after the whistle should not be tolerated.
colorado, this was their "stanley cup" tonite, the hawks would F'n paste them in a 7 game series but give them credit for doing what anahiem, LA, calgary and most eastern teams will do to them and that is hit them like there is no tommorow. so I do agree that a guy like Ott &/or Neil along with some size down the middle will serve them well come the deadline!
as far as Ek's chart???????? lot of ducks farting in shallow water on that 1!

No , see , i think you are clumping me in with meatheads !

What Im saying is , in an obvious loss thats the time to take exception to extra BS after the play or any head shot at all. Headshot like Shaw took last game and Keith took tonight. Thats all Im saying.

Bickell did start with Landeskog, didn't he? Landeskog wanted nothing to do with it - and all four of his teammates came to his rescue b

Not sure what else Bickell could do.

Don't care about the loss. Hawks could lose 10 in a row and still have home ice. I really care about the liberties the Hawks take when guys like Bollig are in the line up. Rockford has about 4 guys in the line up that are more useful if Bollig isn't out there to take an eye for an eye on the opposition.

We spend hours on here talking about needs...2c, more sandpaper. Tonight a bunch of people a female dogging about unanswered pushing and shoving. And they don't NEED anything? Really??

I guess , But I would have rather seen him drop the gloves and start swinging instead of asking him to fight . SOme things are unforgivable like an elbow to the back of the head of your best d man , with only a few minutes to play in a 5-2 game....

now that they got beat while skating for the first time 25 gmes all the doom and gloomers will be out in full force...the typical stuff: hwks are soft, kane lazy, craw not a playoff goalie..so get all the whalling and gnashing of teeth BS out your system.

Just start pummeling him. He deserved it.

Hawks blow.

At least OGI and Hurrikane seem to understand what I am saying.... thought I was on an island here.....

Dudes, the HAwks are 21-1-3 . This is awesome.


Just have a problem with our cup necessity players taking cheap shots with no retaliation.

- fourfeathers

you can talk and post about it all you want about trds....my question still stands....when do trd deadline actually make the difference between winning and losing playoff gmes.

They have weaknesses...helluva lot less of 'em than the rest of the league.... who they got now and the team they are will win or lose in the playoffs....
