Blackhawks top Kings 2-1 to take Game 1

 

@ Hollaback as well.

 

Boston is winning.


Kings don't lose at home.  I went with the teams that have better goaltending this round.

...so why didn't you go Hawks and Penguins? Vokoun > Raask and Crawford > Quick in the playoffs this year.


Vokouns a backup goalie.  Raask was one of the best starters during the regular season and has continued to play well.

Lets be serious, Quick is a better goalie (easily top 3 in the NHL), he had an off night.  The stats are pretty even between the two at this point.

Either way, we have made nice work of their "Great" goalie. As Amp would say. Lol!

He is a great goalie.  He just stunk up the joint last night.  Don't expect it to happen again.

I'm starting to doubt the Penguins pick... oh well.



Good game by the Kings. I really do expect that series to go seven games.

The Bruins skated into Pittsburgh, pulled down the Pens pants, and proceeded to spank them twice. I didn't see that coming. Crosby is freaking out every time that he's touched. Man, they are in his head.

I think they main issue is Pittsburgh aren't in the playoff mindset. They played the two bottom seeded teams and haven't had to play a strong physical team like Boston.

Kieth gets suspended for a high stick that was given a double minor penalty that should have never even happened because the refs should have called at least one of the three penalties on the Kings before Kieth even reacted.

Oh, and Cooke gets nothing for a boarding which resulted in an ejection and 5 minute major



So, the ref who waived off the goals in the last series for the Hawks is the same ref who didn't call a penalty on Torres for a play that resulted in a 25 game suspension. AND is also the same ref who allowed Carter to grab Keith's stick, slash him in the back of his head, and a slash to an exposed hand which led to a retaliatory swing from Keith... this guy needs to be fired.

He retailiated, caused an injury and has been suspended in the past.  One game seems about right and he's lucky he didn't get thrown out of game 3.

Carter deserved the retaliation. Both players should have been fined and that be the end of it. A penalty should have been called before the retalion and the ref should be repremanded.... he shouldnt even be officiating still



So the Blackhawks went into LA and won a game, which never happens. And without Keith... Now I hope that they remember another series that they were in recently that was 3-1 and don't let up.

Also, I think that it's time for the Bruins to lose two or three games in a row. I'd be happier that way.
