tbh i didn't really get to watch much of the blackhawks and predators game due to a conflict with the bulls game going into 2OT. i came back just in time for the start of 3rd period and the blackhawks were literally flatfooted. they got no one else to blame but themselves. pressure is on them to close it out in game 6. Q has to make another goalie change. crawford needs to play his game and do what he does best.
i wasn't bragging. i was saying what the predators did wrong and how they can improve their play for the next game. there is nothing wrong with doing that. predators have often got to a quick start in these games but they are losing it in crunch time.
the blackhawks are my 2nd least favorite nhl team, and their fans blow
especially considering that he bragged about a tie game which is probably the dumbest thing I've ever seen, and the fact that his team bailed him out on his idiocy in overtime sucks

I'll be at the game Thursday actually. If Blackhawks win gg they deserved it with the double and triple OT wins. If Preds win then good we still have enough left to come back in three games. Added note if you see a girl crying cause Preds lost. It's me
honestly you can both talk crap about the other team all you want, but this is probably my favorite series to watch. both these teams are playing extremely well
the blackhawks have chemistry together and are a lot more experienced than the predators. ofc they are not the same as 2 years ago. but right now i will take the blackhawks anyday over the predators.
some of the problems we have so far is that the defense does not have the depth that we used to have. everytime rozsival or timmonen plays i get worried. now we have to rely on our top 4 defenseman. that could later prove costly if we get really deep into the playoffs. another concern is that we are not getting as much production from the 3rd and 4th line. bickell is not making as big of an impact as the one he had in the last playoff run. the PK is also an issue. after trading away ben smith our PK has dipped a little.
even if the blackhawks haven't been as dominant as we have seen before, who has the best chance of defeating them in a 7 game series? blues? ducks? wild? i think not.

winning stanley cups a few years ago =/= you being the better team now. also anyone who says blackhawks is talking about the blackhawks in previous seasons. and is prob a bw'er anyway
ok caroline you can call me an idiot all you want, but that just doesn't change the fact that the blackhawks are definitely the better team. ask anyone out their and they will say the blackhawks really only got dominated in 1st period of game 1 and the 3rd period of the game 2. everything else was either neutral or the blackhawks had control.

you are literally an idiot. preds have dominated you guys this whole series besides this one game. winning in game 1 in a double OT doesn't make you great either, js
lol caroline. i really hoped you watched this game. cause this was the definition of owning. blackhawks had total control of the game. most of the time, the blackhawks were having good shifts in their offensive zone.
not haviing weber or fischer is not a good excuse to make. injuries happen all the time in sports and a good team can overcome those injuries no matter what. also playing on the road means nothing. don't try and also use that as an excuse. predators were outplayed especially in the 2nd and 3rd period.
i like how much you want crawford to play and i have to agree with you. crawford is our starting goalie. ive said many times that he will have to play in order for the blackhawks to win the stanley cup. expect coach Q to start crawford in game 4

winning by 2 goals is not literally "owning" us. we have two of our best players hurt bc your team can only win by hurting our players. literally owning someone is what game 2 was. lets all rewatch game 2 and laugh at how bad chicago played in that game, just because yall are up 2-1 does not mean you automatically win the series. this is the one game the preds didn't look too hot in so far this round and it may just be bc it was an away game, don't expect them to act like this next game. and its kinda sad no one has faith in your starting goalie anymore. be prepared for the preds to come back with a vengeance just like game 2 :) darling is a rookie, he can't stop them all forever, assuming he is starting again tuesday bc man ur coach would be dumb to play crawford
like i said blackhawks came out with lots of energy today. i liked the puck possession that i didn't see in games 1 and 2. winning a lot more faceoffs did really help
