Way to go Black Hawks!

Wow what a game! Did anyone catch the Black Hawks come back and take game 1 from the Bruins last night in triple OT?

 

I started watching the Black Hawks back in the day of Bobby and Dennis Hull, and Stan Mikita. So I am a big Black Hawks fan.

I watched the first 3 periods and I am hoping for the Hawks to win. However, I was quite disappointed by how they played to be honest.

 

The way they played during the 2 men advantage was a disaster. Then lot's of lose passes, many turnovers. They were quite lucky not to see a 4th or 5th goal by the Bruins and also to score that 3rd goal.

 

I think that they need to re-organize and look at the way they are playing: how they are coming out of their zone, the importance of clearing the zone first and to break the Bruins well organized 5 men defense by outskating them, using shorter and precise passes (so many long ones, blind and backward) and quicker shot releases. By the way, I hate slap shots. By the time the puck is gone, you have one or two blockers in front of you and the goalie is ready to catch it.

Go Predators. Boo to the hawks (Though I think they are probably going to win).

- Hey Canucks, I hope you're taking notes on the way hockey is supposed to be played. What a great, GREAT game.

 

- (comment on above) You know I was thinking the same thing. And also what would we have to trade to get that guy, that guy & that guy.

Oh no way did you take a shot at the Canucks.  Otsog...you're banned!  ;D

 

Boo, hiss...Bruins/Blackhawks final...I hope Marchand and Duncan Keith knock each other out with cheap shots!  Cheers!

The Flames should really take note on how to build a team through solid draft pics and strategic trades. The whole "running on the treadmill" for the 7th/8th seed year over year does not work in any sport and is a recipe for disaster.
