The_Admiral Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 I was watching the HNIC stream and holy god were they anti-Chicago. Did the Blackhawks piss off all of Canada somehow for this broadcast team to be so unobjective?Big guys playing a hard forecheck = Boner Night in Canada. You'd think Boston were in Saskatchewan to hear it from the CBC. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unocal Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I'm dissapointated. I wanted the NBC Ratings SCF from Hell that would have gotten lower ratings than Unhappily Ever After, plus I root for a guy like Boudreau. Besides, other than Timonen/Teuvo/Darling, damn near everyone on this team already has a Cup. And I prefer parity to dynasty. Do we REALLY want to see this again? I'm tired of Toews, I'm tired of Kane, I'm tired of everyone fellating this team like they're the greatest thing since sliced bread. Go Bolts.

Alex Houston Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I'm going to do the smart thing and do a self-quarantine for the next week from all social media, because otherwise I know the snark I want to dish out would risk me a suspension and start quit a few unnecessary fights. Suffice to say, I'm hoping the best, but expecting the worst. But you know the worst thing of this? This is gonna happen again in another two or three years, because this is their time now. Call it fate, luck, Yaweh, whatever. Until another team comes along and starts catching the breaks, this is theirs to lose.Go Bolts.The Ducks have announced that they're changing their name to the San Jose Ducks of Anaheim.God, you're so funny.

Unocal Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 After Toews cracked his physche in Game 5, Andersen played like . I almost guarantee if Game 5's OT didn't end so quickly, Chicago would've won and took it in 6. His confidence was gone after that collapse. It's not entirely his fault, no. But when you're not getting the clutch stop from your goalie, it's hard to make any comeback. I think the first goal in game 5 changed everything. Before that, in the first 4 games of that series, not even the Calgary game 3 OT game nor the 5-4 Winnipeg OT game 3 did I ever feel he gave up an OH GOD goal. But from that point on, he wasn't the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HedleyLamarr Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I usually chalked it up to their fans being overly analytic of the team, but there may be something to Boudreau and his coaching, or over-coaching, in the playoffs.I don't see many Ducks games, but going by their regular season and the first two rounds and flat-out just not seeing the team much, I thought their fans were being too critical about how these Ducks were winning games. I didn't even see much of this series with Chicago, but the first six games seemed to be par-for-the-course for both teams. The NBC guys pointed out the line-juggling in the first period...gotta let the game play out a little bit and let players settle into their roles instead of mixing them up so quickly. It's like the offensive coordinator in football changing the entire game plan because a touchdown wasn't scored on the first drive. Didn't seem like the Ducks had a game plan...felt like they were playing reactionary hockey.It stops becoming "bad luck" once you get the stigma of not being able to advance past a certain round or can't win a do-or-die Game 7. And it seems like Boudreau lets the moment define him instead of he defining the moment. Gotta simplify the game in Game 7's...not go off-course from what you did all season.

CS85 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I honestly know very little of this Lightning team outside of Bishop being basically a glorious god. I kind of figured skating 4 defensemen would break the Blackhawks this series, but maybe it'll catch up with them against Tampa. Maybe not.That being said, it's incredibly impressive that this team is scoring with 1.5 lines and playing defense with virtually 3 defensemen. Fourth line has been outstanding, IMHO, if you don't look at goals scored. Teuvo, Vermette, Richards, and Sharp are all doing okay without putting up sexy numbers (Teuvo is emerging, too, he's got the goods), but Shaw can't do much outside of piss people off (Blackhawks fans included). Bickell is the lightning rod for fan ire since he's done precisely dick, but all he can do is hurl himself around. Touching the puck makes him a total liability. I was terribly satisfied to see Timonen not dress tonight. That in and of itself helped salve the stupidity that was game 3's benchings of Vermette and Teuvo.Anyway, it's lonely here with so many blatant anti-Chicago folks, but winning will do that.edit: Concerning Boudreau -- HNIC made a point that he's 1-6 in game 7's now, all on home ice. That's a pretty substantial trend that doesn't feel like it's a tangible statistic, but with so many instances in different organizations, maybe it's legit.

monkeypower Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 It does to Kings fans I guess, because "lulz the Ducks only have 1".I don't understand why some Kings fan seem so insecure with Cup wins. It seems a lot of the time they have to show remind everybodythey have more than the Ducks. Both team's wins are just as relevant.I don't hear of any Oilers fans holding their 5 cups over the Flames 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
