The_Admiral Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Hits are a meaningess statistic, but there's no excuse for rolling four lines when you're trailing and two of those lines have Fernando Pisani and Ryan Johnson on them. What did they think this game meant, exactly? I'd say to fire half the roster, but Tallon doesn't work here anymore. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CubsFanBudMan Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Hey Blackhawks, your defeat has brought chaos to all of Blackhawks nation. Your ineptness and choking in the face of adversity shall be known throughout the NHL. Your false promises will be an object of ridicule and scorn throughout all of the NHL. Shame and humiliation will follow your legacy forever. Once adored and worshipped by Blackhawkss fans, your crappy, lazy, uninspired, pathetic, half-brained play will serve as a reminder of the price of failure.Biggest game of the year and:- Bickell/Dowell/Pisani line (-3)- Hits: Detroit - 35, Chicago - 15- 15 give aways- Blackhawks 0/4 on powerplaysWay to show up, bunch of a***oles.To top it all off, Detroit had ZERO to play for today.I don't know about that. Knocking out a rival from the playoffs, especially a potentially dangerous one (and I'll give the defending champs the benefit of the doubt there), is something to play for. I immediately thought of the Bears' opportunity to keep the eventual champion Packers out of the postseason, and then the NBC announcers said the same thing within the first five minutes of the broadcast, which only proved what I already knew -- I'd make a lousy hockey analyst.

Don Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I cannot believe the epic chokejob the Hawks threw, and now they rest their playoff hopes on Jose Theodore (Backstroms getting the night off). The Caps know how that goes. Enjoy your Lake Toews in the summer time there captain, cause you failed to show up when the chips were down. I was watching this game and at about midway through the 2nd I asked my wife, where the hell is Jonathan Toews? Only time I noticed him was when they interviewed him and then showed brief clips of him sitting on the bench. He cant carry the team, but hes gotta show something in the biggest game of the year. He didnt, and now the Hawks rest their playoff hopes on the Wild. Good luck.

MDC Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Well, he was the playoff MVP last season, so its not like he disappears when the game matters. At all. In fact, he played fine. Stalberg's bonehead pass was what got to me more than anything. He didnt even bother to take a second look to see if Kopecky was there, and just blindly tossed it back. Also, Crawford had a real hard time stopping the easiest shots he faced. Frustrating, but not Toews' fault by any means. Plus, I wouldn't call anything a chokejob. They had fairly small expectations once the roster was gutted, and never had too strong of a hold on a playoff spot. ---Owner of the NHA's Philadelphia Quakers, the UBA's Chicago Skyliners, and the CFA's Portland Beavers (2010 CFA2 Champions)--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Look at Donball over here. Even without scoring, Toews is a key defensive forward every game. It's the so-called checking line that got torched today. Furthermore, the extent to which anyone can carry a team while playing, at most, 25 minutes of a possible 300 is arguable. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
