yeah man, I'm in Buffalo right now and people at the bar were raging about it. Everyone's making a fuss about the look on McDavid's face when Edmonton won. Can't blame him for not wanting to have to play there.
Here's something to consider: Chicago's goalie lost a ton of confidence when he got mollywopped last game. He's now returning home knowing that he lost 6-2 last game, and the Pred's are going on the road knowing they steamrolled the Hawk's 6-2. Let's see what happens :^]

caroline if i watch a hockey game for whatever team you support will you watch a Toronto Raptors game?
Maybe. But it's also likely that they'll choke on that rage and throw another game. Then they come back for Game 4, close match. Series 2-2. That's where it gets dicey. Either the Preds remember Game 3 where the Blackhawks lost their cool, and win it easily, in which case they also take the series in 6. Or the Blackhawks get their mentality back and the series closes in 7.
Psychologically, a score like that screws things up.
two years ago the redwings were up 3 games to 1 in the second round of the stanley cup. blackhawks ended up winning the series and went on to win the stanley cup.
like i said it was only just a game. blackhawks just fell apart in the 3rd period. knowing coach Q, this won't happen again. you can expect him to shout at the players on their way back home. blackhawks will play with a lot more energy to start game 3. if im right blackhawks will outplay the predators in game 3. im expecting something like a 4-1 victory
well i saw some stats...and well....crawford has allowed 3 or more goals on his last 8 playoff starts...so maybe he isn't what he used to be in postseason anymore m8
if the blackhawks are going to win the stanley cup crawford has to lead the way. as much as i love darling he isn't our long-term answer in the postseason
