You know what, gently caress you Chicago. If you're going to play like poo poo at least kill Corey Perry.

The Lauerplay won't improve unless Wisniewski gets in the lineup.

I've seen this one before. The Hawks play like poo poo until they make a not-quite-heroic enough comeback to lose in Game 7 OT, wherein the California team beats the Rangers in 5

I don't get this. The Hawks played like poo poo? What game were you guys watching?

Hawks pretty much dominated the game in every way except actually scoring.

The Ducks played pretty bad in the first period but a lot better in the 2nd and 3rd.

Clearly he didn't think Sekac could handle the pressure of playing at the same time as DSP :smug:

oh wait, we're eliminated :smith:

Cakes looked really great today and I think he should play the rest of the series. He was even physical!

And the Hawks did not play like poo poo. They had a great first period, a good second period, and a disappointing third period. The Ducks had a poo poo first period, an average second period, and a good third period.

I can't spare this man - he fights.
It's pretty much a Frederik Andersen miracle that the Ducks survived the first period without allowing any Hawks goals. It was pretty brutal to watch.

Chicago would never fold against a pacific team playing above their usual level who is riding a hot goaltender that people saw as a team unknown/possible weakness rather than strength going into the playoffs.

Lots of good signs for the Hawks though since they dominated shots and possession. The only line able to cycle against them was the top line of the Ducks. Too bad they made some defensive mistakes and the Ducks capitalized.

I dunno what happened because I only saw the first, but the hawks were loving running all over the ducks. The D beyond Keith and Seabrook was questionable but they were putting up like 2 shots a minute.

Freddie played big, most Chicago shots he had a good view at, Ducks did an excellent job stickchecking to avoid garbage goals.

The second and third periods were drastically different than the first.

A bad first period after a long layoff is basically nothing for Anaheim to worry about.

Without reading it I'm guessing fewer breakaways/oddman rushes, takes a lot of easily saved shots from long range, and on top of that bad luck shooting percentage on the prime scoring chances that he does get.

Maybe throw in something about better goaltending in the playoffs

Do the Ducks have an old midget who can cost them a goal early while on a 5v3 to set the tone of the game?
