Game Thread: Chicago Blackhawks(3) vs. Los Angeles Kings(3) | WCF

[BlueWolfZero]

These two teams are playing for the Cup basically.

 

[postmaster]

Better record this year
Better head to head record this year
More recent success in previous years

What else you want? The Kings are a good team. The Hawks are a borderline dynasty.

Seems impossible given this breakdown that LA won the cup just two years ago.

Kings have been to the Conference Finals each of the last three playoffs, Blackhawks haven't been able to do that with their current group of players

If you think the Blackhawks are going to blow the Kings away this year, then I'm sorry that your expectations are so delusional and off the charts

Kings/ Rangers

NBC will have a dream come true....Gabby vs former team, wish we had a former King

No, they are not going to "blow the Kings away" but they are more likely to win the series than not. They are favored for one, in fact they are favored to win the cup. The Hawks have won 2 cups in 4 years. The Kings one. I am not trying to talk smack, but it has been a fact that the Hawks have been the better team.

Brian Boyle?

yes 1st round draft pick (no.26) in 2003

Well if they're not going to blow the Kings away then how does that make the Blackhawks the better team going away? If they were the better team going away this wouldn't even be a series

It took the Blackhawks six games to beat St. Louis and Minnesota, so they're not the best team going away - maybe they end up being the best in the conference, but not going away

I said they were the superior team. Do you interpret that as going away? I think the Kings win 2, maybe 3.

This current group has 2 cups, how many does LA have?

Only losers count lock out season championships.





LOL I'm just kidding!

The superior team means that they should be winning going away - if the Kings win 2 or 3 games in this series, how does that make Chicago the superior team? A superior team is winning in 4 or 5 games

Andrew Shaw out tonight

Good, the Jeff Schultz experiment needs to end ASAP:

I could be wrong but I believe this is TSN's very last broadcast no?

I think that's correct Matty - too bad because Sportsnet is terrible in comparison.

yeah they can have some doofuses on TSN on the panel but they are pretty damn good overall

TSN is doing Game 4, so that would be it

 

[Cobiemonster]

Let's do this!

What's with the these chintzy interference penalties? I thought this was the conference finals?

EDIT: I am referring to the first penalty. The second one was an obvious hook on the hands.
