Who will win?

Tampa Bay Lightning 3 20.00%
 
Total:15

The Wild scored three goals against the Blackhawks. That doesn't happen too often. They should be proud.

The Blackhawks really shouldn't have won that last game. I'm pretty sure that Coach Q specifically told Carcillo to never shoot but he did it anyways.

If the Avs manage to end the Hawks streak tomorrow, I bet Choco will be itching to come back and rub it in.



Boy am I glad Loco isn't around.

Anywho, it was a great streak for the Hawks but the Avs really kicked their butts tonight and have a lot to be proud of.

I knew they would lose sooner or later, but not like that.

Theory. Since Sharpe was out, they wanted to take this chance to let down their play. You cannot play like that all season. Play bad for a while so other teams get lulled back into their slumber. Forget he streak! Asa coach I would do that. We are in I for the Stanley Cup! Not streaks that we already beat.

Only explanation for a huge loss like that. They gave it away. It is obvious. 5-1? Come on! Oi of the blue this kind of thing just happens?


Yes, out of the blue this sort of thing does happen.

They were more than overdue to have a bad game and they most certainly had one.  Let's just hope that it doesn't lead to a losing streak.  *gulp*

I think they did it on purpose. No way they lose a game like this. Not even close.

I was at th (1994?) Play off game with Seattle Suuuuuuuuuuuuuupersonics vs. The Bulls. :ache game the bulls dominated, except fr this game. All of a sudden Sonics smashed them what a pile of crap! Bulls wanted to lose it to push the series back home.


Besides some hustle from Kane, I saw sloppy, uninspird Black hawk play.

You talk like a White Sox fan.  Not all teams throw games.

You know it is bad when no one is posting here. Everyone is a hawks fan...

I could not watch tonight. Heard on the radio 4-6. Hawks losing. That was the startif the 3rd though.

Is it just me or is Carl Crawford in for a break? Two high scoring gamesin a row against him? Come on! Or is it the defense fault? He is so used to them keeping it away that he cannot handle the j flux of shots? Has the defense been the reason he is any good at all?

Emery started the game and was pulled after giving up the first four goals...  That isn't to say that it was his fault though.  The team just didn't show up at all in the first period.  It was like they went with the strategy of giving up the puck to the guy from the other team all alone in front of the net and let's see if the goalie can stop it.  The game wound up 6-5 after starting 4-0 so they did pull their heads out of their asses.  Let's hope that they do it permanently now.

But they lost?

Crawford was supposed to start I thought?

You thought wrong...

Damn it! I thought you were going to eventually tell me they were going to win. So I went to nhl.com

Oh well. You are right. Still gave up too many goals. I hope for a better showing with whoever they play next.

What's his name? Sharp? Do you think that affected them?

He is one of their better players, but to be honest the team played so badly in the last two games that I don't think that he would have been much of a help.  Oh well.  They were due to hit a bump along the way.  The ride was too smoothe.

They still managed to get 5 goals (I know Edmontons defense isn't the greatest) they just had a terrible first period. 

In other news, I'm a happy Wild fan. Beating Vancouver tonight put us top of the NW division and 3rd in the western conference. We have 2 games against the Avs later this week so I hope Choco is back in time to watch his team get crushed.
