I'm glad I'm not the only one to share this sentiment. The whole "bracket challenge" process was very confusing, between choosing a league and saving your predictions. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I probably should have known if before hand, but even when the brackets were set, you had to wait until the schedule came out to pick your choices. I had to look all over for this explanation. God forbid they put it in the "How to Play" section... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't quite put my finger on it, but there's something that makes me think the Ducks would be the easier out. Maybe it's been the Kings recent success, or the reverse sweep, but if they managed to knock out L.A., I do think the road for the Ducks and Hawks gets much easier. Anyways, here's what I see happening. Quoting own post again due to laziness. Surprised at how many folks have the Pens coming out of the East. Not that I disagree, obviously, but I imagined more disagreement. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the admiral 20,515 Posted April 14, 2016 The much-maligned Blackhawks defense (our leading "alternative" Hawks blog has blamed Trevor van Riemsdyk for everything short of Kane getting off) has actually been adequate tonight. Getting Keith back Friday should help out a lot. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heitert 438 Posted April 14, 2016 Just now, DDR said: Every time Tarasenko has the puck, I tense up. You're lucky he's not shooting. I get that he's trying to be selfless with the puck, but, I mean, he's a great shooter and he needs to try to rip one past Crawford. At least 3 good chances and only one SOG. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex Houston 301 Posted April 14, 2016 And human bag of excrement David Backes comes through with a lucky shot. Keith will return Friday though and Hawks will win four in a row, restoring order with the power of LOLHAWKSWIN. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hard hitter? Sure. But who isn't these days? At least he keeps his stick square to the ice and his other in his pants, unlike two other 'Hawks players that immediately spring to mind. Oh well... 1-0 Blues. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CS85 7,777 Posted April 14, 2016 Fell asleep after first period. Not surprised to see Hawks lose, much less in OT, but reading Blues fans acting like the series is over is amusing. Kings fans seem to be enjoying this more then even they are. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
