Game Thread: Chicago Blackhawks(2) vs. Minnesota Wild(WC 1) | Round 2

[forty_three]

Crazy to say, but, Bryzgalov is the reason the Wild are winning right now. This game would be totally different had Sharp scored on that breakaway. And now the huge glove save on Morin. Bryz has taken over, wow.

I told you, Yeo has him convinced the puck is a Bear egg that gets activated once it enters the net.

Yeah, that was a pretty bad one.

He saw nothing but numbers and had position on him. No need for it.

But not considerably worse than the one Iginla threw earlier in the B's Habs series...

Also, neat stat. Since 2003, the Hawks have played 85 Playoff games. In that time, they have been held to 24 shots or fewer 8 times.

4 of those have been in this series. So far.

Okay, I realize I'm biased because I'm a Flames fan and a big Iggy fan, but really? Iggy hit Patches on the shoulder and in my opinion eased off the gas before making contact. Bollig makes sure he finishes his check hard into the boards and square on the numbers. Iggy wasn't even penalized for his hit.

As previously mentioned though, maybe the homer glasses are distorting my vision.

Brandon Bollig gets two games

I honestly think they looked like the better team in games 1 and 2 as well

They had a great shot at winning game 2 but fate didn't agree. I don't think they deserved game one at all though.

Typical. Blackhawks get the key PP goals. Ours just sucks.

I know a certain team that did not get any PP goals and won the Cup.

Have faith

We've gotten a couple late in the two home games but barely generate anything on most.

Hawks always get good chances and their 3 PP goals have been at big momentum times in their home games.

This can't happen when you don't have home ice.

Really need to pick it up this period.

 

[BF4L]

I gotta be honest. I thought the Hawks will just roll right over the Wild.

Been a helluva a series

 

[Cobiemonster]

Go Wild!

 

[Cobiemonster]

Wow you have to be kidding me

 

[podsox]

Toews and hossa look like different players in the 3rd period
