Game Thread: St. Louis Blues(2) vs. Chicago Blackhawks(3) | WCQF

[juliansteed]

Blues score in the final second of the 1st!

Edit - 1.8 left. I guess an extra second ticked off after the goal was scored.

 

[mrwallace2ku]

Whole lotta Bluez penalties being called in this 1st period...Those will even out over the game...lead and those after 1 and I'll take it!

2-0 BLUEZ!

 

[mrwallace2ku]

Knocked back 3 brews in that 1st period alone...what's that say by the end of regulation today?


HA!

 

[anotheridiot]

hope someone makes a wakeup call in the intermission for the hawks.
look completely out of sink. lines are a mess, versteeg and handzous doing nothing again.

Lotsa calls against the blues, sure seem like they are letting the interference go though.

Playoff 'ockey I spose...

That was a brutal call...perhaps some missed calls earlier, but really? This is the first time I've ever found myself wishing Lapierre could skate better

 

[oaknightshockey1]

And now a 5 on 3

 

[Edisto_Tiger]

Damn, missed with a wide open goal.

Hawks are going on almost 2 complete games without scoring if you count the overtimes. Not good for a team that is supposed to be great offensively.

I'm just learning the ins and outs, but they just don't look as fluid or together on offense as the Blues. They certainly aren't playing as physical. But, like I said, I just started getting really into it this season. I have soaked up as much as I could, being in the south and not getting a lot of hockey coverage.

You are definitely right, and those two things definitely relate. The Blues physical play is preventing Chicago's offense from getting anything going, even though I would argue that they are by far the more skilled team offensively.

 

[oaknightshockey1]

Ahh finally

 

[oaknightshockey1]

I figured if I bitched about them enough they would put something up on the scoreboard.

 

[Edisto_Tiger]

There it is!

 

[Edisto_Tiger]

Damn, that was a rifle from Seabrook. I don't know how you defend that.

 

[hokiehi21]

Man Hawks gettin some fortunate bounces

 

[sherbert1421]

Hell of a knuckle puck

 

[oaknightshockey1]

And then come back with the changeup from Rozsival

 

[Edisto_Tiger]

And the Blackhawks go up, 3-2.

 

[hokiehi21]

holy fuckin shit
