Man gently caress Chicago

but ugh, go Chicago

Aphrodite posted:

Chicago has the least objectionable SAS fan base... But gently caress them anyway. Go East but preferably not Tampa.

HOW COULD YOU posted:

If chicago loses that's great
If chicago wins, mook doesn't post all summer, and that's great

JoelJoel posted:

Half the league and all the good players come from here so you guys can gently caress right off until your country starts pulling its weight.

I spend 5 goddamn hours watching a game just to lose to Markus Kruger. I officially am no longer a hockey fan. Peace.

They need guys who can do something with the available space while the stars are busy getting ganged up on.

but bryan bickell is a clutch playoff performer

TVR got recalled from the IceHogs. Q is a maniacal villain to his own fans.

xzzy posted:

Hopefully he avoids the side effect of playing at a fraction of his normal output.

Furnaceface posted:

Are you from the future? Because Id like to think that this positive outlook is due to Q reverting back to playoff mode and doing smart roster things again.

If you guys can get three other posters to acquire Kaneatars with three additional elemental forces, you might just summon enough heart for Chicago to win this one.

mastershakeman posted:

Hmery, mine's 5 years old now and I'm finally starting to like Kane more than Toews this year for no real reason other than enjoying brash/evil guys like Mayweather.

If I remember right it came from a low budget local car dealer commercial, they're always poo poo at that stuff.

Any lightning fans interested in some dumb 2004 memorabilia?



I unearthed these in the stuff I brought back from Florida and left in my parents' basement.




Price of shipping from Toronto I guess? Or if you're in Toronto for some inexplicable reason you can pick them up free. Just PM me.

I've also have some full page newspaper spreads from the SP-Times or T-Trib or whatever, basically a full page of Fedotenko celebrating. I left that in a box at my parents' place so I can't take a pic but you can have that too I guess. It's just going to go into the trash in a month or so.

Well he was posting form the TBL game so I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess Tampa.

Just waiting for the other shoe to drop. But so far so good. They need to start learning to keep leads, been a worrying trend the last few years.

Emetic Hustler posted:

That must be it. Hawks are so confident they can play mind games with the other team, giving them comebacks and spotting leads, only to snatch it away after playing some nerve-wracking OTs. Break the spirit of the opponent as well as beating them on the ice.

Kevlar v2.0 posted:

The Hawks playing with their backs to the wall is going to be a fun sight to behold. The series will go 7 games only because I'll be at a bachelor party on Saturday and won't be able to watch it.

Scrotos posted:

I was angrier that the OT ended quickly, then that the Hawks lost.

mastershakeman posted:

No, because no one expected them to beat whoever came out of the west. However, the Blackhawks, for the second straight year, are going to be failures unless they get their act together like in 2013.

chicago is going to take the last two games against anaheim and the rangers are going to win game seven. i know this is going to happen because it's the exact matchup i feared going into the postseason, and there is no greater SC predictor than my lack of affinity towards a team

xzzy posted:

Good news then, there probably won't be a game 7.

If you'd told me a month ago that Rosival was critical to the success of the team I would have laughed at you. Today? Rosival was actually a whole lot better than the dregs waiting in the wings. His injury really hosed over the defensive depth.

xzzy posted:

Nothing that has a good chance of working out well.. keeping Toews and Kesler apart will give Chicago more scoring, but it also hands the Ducks more scoring. Putting Toews and Kane together means only one Chicago line is capable of scoring and the other three are just space fillers.

I still think Hossa is hurt, he's usually good for a couple highlight reel tours of the offensive zone but he's been invisible for weeks.

I think Saad and Shaw are playing to the limit of their talent, and yeah, gently caress Bickell. I hesitate to say he should get a season ending injury because I wanted the same thing for Rosival and that didn't work outl at all, but boy oh boy do I want him gone. I just don't know who could replace him at this point.

xzzy posted:

I haven't given up, not entirely. I'm just resigning myself to the fact at this point in time the Ducks are good enough to win the series and could very well do it.. they aren't getting steamrolled like the last two teams.

His extremely asymmetrical hairline is still ridiculous, Patrick Sharp handsomer.

I dislike the anthem at sporting events too. I get why it happens, and there's nothing to be done about it at this point, but it still makes me roll my eyes every time I see someone get all revved up because something patriotic got broadcast over the speaker system.

Well i cant watch game seven. I guess im going to watch it sunday morning?
