So Mike Smith initiates contact with Toews and Toews gets a penalty, cool.

And of course Phoenix scores on the subsequent power play.

Naturally.

Wish we would split our lines up a little better to, have too much offense stacked on the one line and we're weak throughout the rest.

I think this would be a lot better than what we're currently using:

Sharp/Toews/Stalberg
Shaw/Kane/Hossa
Bickell/Bolland/Hayes
Brunette/Kruger/Mayers

Splits the offense up, gives us Hayes who has shown flashes of his potential as opposed to Bollig who is just there to fight if needed basically and moves Kruger off the 2nd line where he isn't good enough offensively yet to play.

Q is the line shuffler so I'm sure we'll see a ton of changes.

Hawks score first in both games and don't take advantage either time.

That was such a garbage call.

That was such a garbage call.

It was Devorski so I shouldn't be that surprised. He was the same guy who call the KO hit by Wisniewski on Seabrook a minor.

Anyone else watching the Blackhawks and the rest of the playoffs, is it just me or do the Blackhawks seem to take a ton more icing calls than most teams?

With how bad we are at FO's outside of Toews that isn't good.

Not a bad time to pop up with your first NHL goal!

Re: The Official 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs Thread

Woo Bollig proving me wrong, I'll take credit for that one since he clearly did it to prove I don't know what I'm talking about.

Oh ****. That looked bad.

[ImTellinTim]

Re: The Official 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs Thread

Why in the hell is that a penalty though? He was trying to avoid him and it was a complete accident.

And a game misconduct for charging?? Horse****!

Sweet sell job Smith. Two minutes ago you were acting like you fractured your skull.

[SidVish]

Re: The Official 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs Thread

Lol. 5 minute charging and game misconduct for Shaw.

**** that.

Oh and Smith stays in.

Re: The Official 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs Thread

Game misconduct wtf this BS about making penalties off of the freaking result (injured or not) of a hit is horse ****.
