Crawford has got to control a slow roller like that, didn't do him or his defense any favors on that one at all Agreed..the second goal was all on Crawford..he has to control that puck


what i've noticed. Patrick Kane is awful
don't know if he set the world on fire in previous series, but he's unnoticeable in this one. He doesn't play defense, takes stupid penalties, can't create his own shot, DIVES (that really pissed me off last night, when penner barely caught him up high and he laid on the ice for 2 minutes like a sniper got him from the rafters after the whistle to try and draw a call), and it looks like he's salty he's not a factor on the top 2 lines. When Q puts him up with Toews and Hossa he looks all world, otherwise he just gets into the zone and waits. And that “goal” he had last night….yeah, that was Bickell’s. I don't know on Kane...He has had a bad series against LA because he's a "space" guy and that just disappears in the playoffs. He had an unreal defensive reg season as he really embraced back checking and only took 8 penalties all year and is nominated for that Chick award.

Bickell, i don't think he's that great, but he's really feeling it right now, and the guy is gonna get STUPID money from someone in the off season. His scenario = Dustin Penner. Relatively unknown in the regular season, guy gets on the national stage and shines, all the sudden he's a household name, and just like Penner getting big bucks to go to Edmonton on an offer sheet, the same will happen with Bickell.
Bickell= Dustin Bfgulyn from 3 years ago, although he is light years more talented offensively than Buff was. Bickell is gone..He'll get a 4 yr deal from someone and I think he will be a 30 goal scorer

Crawford let in a garbage goal..im happy they got one of two at the la home ice. hawks will close out la at home sat resting a bit for boston.playerwise some of the comments here baffle me . they found a way to win without a key guy last night.jagr wont be cruising around for 23 min a game vs the hawks..they will hit him.and make him try and skate with the upbeat game we have...its going to be a good series.but by no means are the hawks not able to handle bostons best game. they will find a way to make bostons goalie look mortal toews .will start scoring in the last series imo

pierre mcguire just announced that shawn thornton knows how to "win championships"

he might be the most irrelevant player on either team, right next to the back up goalies..... respect what the guy does, but he got a free ring in anaheim and did the same in boston a few years ago...knowing how to "win championships" is more then just a roster spot

and i just hit mute on my tv

Crosby & Malkin with a grand total of zero points in series. Sounds like a good reason to fire coach.

a lot easier than firing crosby and malkin. i think it would be a mistake, and it was the great milbury who suggested it.

[Danzig]

unreal. i didn't think la had much chance at all, with only .14 left...good lord. if chi loses, that goal is going to keep crawford et al up all night.

[Danzig]

great game!!
