I really don't like that word. That's the only word I won't say. Blackhawks look real strong in game 1. Kane had a sick goal.
Western Conference Finals time... While I love the Blackhawks chances in this series, the Kings will not be an easy out. The Blackhawks need to step on their throat from start to finish. I see the Blackhawks winning this series in 6.
Of the teams remaining only the Montreal Canadiens winning the cup would not make me angry. Not liking this....
The Blackhawks need to play 3 full periods, not one, not two, THREE. If I where Joel Quenneville, I would sit Brandon Bollig and Michael Rozsival and play Sheldon Brookbank and Peter Regin starting in Game 4. Brookbank and Regin have done so much better so the Blackhawks in the few games they have played in during the playoffs than Rozsival and Bollig have.
It's hard to find anything better than playoff hockey...let alone 2OT in a possible Stanley Cup Elimination Game...
Congrats to the Kings Fans and Flyers West Fans out there. Justin Williams (MVP), Mike Richards, Jeff Carter, John Stevens get another ring. Richards, Carter, Stevens...Second Stanley Cup, Third Championship together...
