Period. All teams must overcome questionable officiating.

    Yeah, there would've been at least as much whining back then as there is now. Human nature, I suppose. It's just kind of tiresome when it fills up a thread. Yes, there are occasional examples of officiating so bad that it's beyond the pale (Joe Mauer's "foul" ball in the Yankees/Twins ALDS is the most recent that comes to mind), but most of it falls under the **** happens category.

      Rinne is hot and their D is playing insane. Trotz scheme of non-stop forechecking is working and no there is no magical line change Q can put out there that will all of a sudden make the Hawks start lighting the lamp like crazy. They haven't won the one-on-one battles ALL SERIES. Why would that change now??

      Preds in 6.
      Last year, the Blackhawks were trailing the Canucks 2 games to 1 and were being shut out with 5 minutes to go in Game 4. The Canucks were outplaying the Blackhawks and winning all the physical battles. Series over, right?

      Things change fast. Get a grip.

        Can't believe the Preds are up! Good for them. Chicago's still in it, though. Can't count out that team.

          Read the first two words in your own post....and please don't tell me to get a grip. I'm not some 10 year old kid who just started to watch playoff hockey for the first time. Thanks and have a nice night.

            You were the one that said 2.5 games into a series usually tells you what they are waste deep in.

            What does usually mean to you? This year only?

              Are you seriously comparing 2.5 games into a series versus a different year and different opponent?

                Let me simplify this:

                I never once thought the Hawks were in trouble against the Canucks.

                After 9 periods played against Vancouver, in my opinion, it was a toss up.

                After 9 periods this year, the Preds have outplayed them in 8 of those 9 periods. It is NOT a toss up here, even though they both can finish in the same amount of games. The Hawks won in 6 last year, but I just don't see that happening this year.

                  ^ Okay, but I think you're underestimating Chicago's firepower. If Toews, Hossa and Sharp can get it going, this is going to be a different series. Also, Brian Campbell may be coming back at some point, even as early as next game.

                    Believe me, I don't underestimate my own team's firepower. It's just that their D is consistently taking our guys off the puck. And Rinne is on fire right now. I just don't see it.

                    Look, I hope I'm wrong and you all are right. I just don't think so right now. I don't see the Hawks flipping that switch against this team. Same can be said for the other (2) vs. (7) series.

                      Yea, my bad.

                      I misinterpreted your argument as you saying every series could be judged after a couple of games.

                      I still completely disagree with your "the sky is falling" thought on this series though...

                        We're bound for an OT that lasts longer than 5-10 minutes. Could this be it?

                        Also, Marleau/Galiardi FTW.

                          While I agree with part of your post, I flat out disagree that the officiating this season in the NHL has fallen within the normal range of calls being missed. I understand there will always be some degree of inconsistency in terms of officiating even in a perfect world but to me the level of inconsistency I have seen this season in the NHL is not acceptable or does not fall into what I would call the normal range. I have been watching NHL hockey on regular basis for 14 years now and I have never seen a year with as many obvious calls blown or inconsistencies as this year across the entire league.

                          The officiating needs to be better. If you don't feel that way than we will have to agree to disagree.

                            Nice shot by Pavelski.

                            I have to say I'm surprised San Jose bounced back after Game 3 and that Dan Boyle played so well after winning Game 3 for the Avs.

                              Joe P. Clowe and Seto, are the line! This first line of Joe, Heatley and Marleau are so depressing. I know they got some shots, but come on guys score! All that matters is the wins and points. Great win and coming back to 2-2. I like it!

                                Clowe is beasting right now. He has kept the puck in our zone so much during this series.
