Round One : Nashville Predators v Chicago Blackhawks

[Portland Blues]

Nashville up 4-2 in the third.

Will they hang on?

[Portland Blues]

5-2 Preds.

Wow, Crawford has given up 8 goals on 44 shots.

[Portland Blues]

And now it's 6-2.

Preds destroying Hawks in the third. Crawford and Keith shitting their pants. 3 goals on 4 shots in less than 3 minutes? Loving this!

I am as well.
I hope for a long, brutal 7-game series, with both teams getting beat up, and The Preds winning it.

And now it's 6-2.

BUT WILL THEY HANG ON???

[ComradeT]

Crawford chants are heard. I am surprised he's still in goal at this point even though it's late in the game.

[Portland Blues]

And now it's 6-2.

I think they're gonna squeak this one out.

[ComradeT]

That's what I want from the Blues tomorrow. No letting down. Not even for a half a second.

Absolutely.

Kane's goal to make it 2-2 should never have counted. Kane came off the bench and played the puck before his replacement left the ice. Classic too many men. Even worse, after he scores, six ChickenHawks are on the ice celebrating. Moronic officiating. At least Nashville crushed them anyway.

The Hawks never get called for to many men. It's in the rule book or something. Remember our game against them? Same thing.

Weber is out for, at least, Games 3 and 4. The Preds will have to play Roman Josi a LOT, and move Seth Jones up. They'll need tyo steal one of the next 2 in Chicago.

It's because the key word is "men". Not too many girls, not too many pussies, not too much weaksauce. Men. Does not apply to hawks.

The goal was legit - Nashville was holding Sharp on the ice and not letting him get off. The refs made the right call.

I didn't see the play, but it doesn't matter if other players are in his way or holding him up, just like it doesn't matter if a player gets pushed offsides...he's still offside, and it's still to many men. Now, they can call interference as well...if it is indeed interference.

That's why the Hawks commentators (Pat Foley and Eddie Olczyk CSN) said the Hawks got away with that one. They even said Nashville had a good case because of all the Hawks in front of the bench and Kane jumped over and played the puck before his teammates were off the ice. The goal ended up being irrelevant but that's not the point. A bad call is still a bad call regardless and that was a bad non-call. The refs missed it and it happens all the time.

BS!! Look at the pictures in the link and try that excuse again. No one is holding Hawks players up at the bench except Hawks players when Kane first touches the puck and they are still on the ice when he scores. Lame biased excuse ignoring the picture and video evidence. Unless whoever held up a Hawks player had a teleporter or something equivalent to be so far away from the bumbling Hawks players who clearly should have been called for too many men. Let me guess, Olczyk fed you that BS. No bias at all from him.

[Portland Blues]

Great OT so far.

[Portland Blues]

Tough loss for Nashville. Great game by both teams.
