Stamkos also won't get two better chances in the last 1:30 to tie it, either.
We where screaming that all night PK especially on the pp.
That one pass at the end , guy was in the middle of the slot and passes to a guy out side of the net and he miss handles, just put it on net you got 3 forwards there already for any garbage.
Guess it can be summed up with two words, Jimmy: F*cking Swedes.

That shot was so stupid. Worst possible angle to take one. They also hesitated way too much to shoot. That let Crawford move into position and the D get set-up and ready to block the shots.
Am I the last calm Hawks fan in Chicagoland at this point? From where I sit, they've played pretty lousy hockey and they're facing a best of 3 against a team with either a one-legged goalie or a 20 year-old rebound machine between the pipes. I'm not discounting the quality of the Lightning. They're very good. However, with the exception of Stamkos, they've been playing somewhere close to ideal hockey with less than ideal results.
Just need to stay calm and keep rolling the lines...and making sure that Timonen stays beneath 7 minutes of ice time.

I'm calm but can't say I am not nervous. The good thing is the Hawks get better as a series goes on. I think they are going to turn it on tomorrow night. Championship teams win games when they aren't playing their best and the Hawks have done just that. Time for Kane to go off.
I am a patient boy.
I wait, I wait, I wait, I wait.
My time is water down a drain.
First finals series in 50 years not to have a two goal lead through four games.
All four have been tied in the third.
Shots on goal are almost even.
Time of possession is almost even.
The series is even.
All four games could have gone either way.
TOO MUCH TALK RADIO.
The reason it appears that the Hawks are playing badly is that the Lightning are playing well. I have now seen the Lightning play in 19 of their 24 play off games. THEY ARE VERY GOOD. People in Chicago expecting a sweep or the Hawks in five just do not follow hockey.
I dont know whats going to happen as my magic eight ball is broken. It could be either team in six or seven and the rest of the games could be blowouts.
What I do know is thats is been a hell of a post season for the NHL.
Just a little sloppy for both teams after 20 minutes. There are crucial turnovers for the taking, Bishop is still struggling with his ailment and even Keith coughed up the puck a couple of times in his own zone. Pretty evenly played with Hawks winning key faceoffs.
I thought the third and fourth line from the Hawks took over the last period led by K. Versteeg. Vermette continues to contribute key goals as Crawford tidied up his game. Such a tight series, the triplet line definitely missed Kucherov and S. Stamkos will have to raise his game in CHI.
That was awesome when he did that. He was hit hard but chris pronger was moving around more when his heart stopped.
