CanOfCorn Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Although I don't like seeing the 'hawks constantly battling back from being down, I have to say it's amazing to see this team mature in front of our eyes. Toews has ice in his veins...Sharpie is back with that sick move and I just loooooove that Havlat is scrapping. The one thing that I noticed was the beatdown the 'hawks were getting in the first period of both games. But, by the middle of the second period, Big Buff, Eager, Burish and even Ladd were taking some runs at Flames players. Basically saying, I know you're bigger, but we aren't backing down. And the fact that Havlat would shove Phaneuf...awesome. If the Ducks can somehow knock out the Sharks...I think we have a chance of getting to the Finals.

We are not ready to beat Detroit or San Jose in a seven game series right now. Maybe in a couple of years, but these guys aren't quite there yet. They have got to figure out how to play sixty minutes in order to beat that top tier of teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think those last two games, as meaningless as they were for the Wings, gave the 'hawks a lot of confidence. By the time they would meet them, they should be over this inconsistency (I hope). But these 'hawks do remind me of the Bulls before Phil Jackson. They are missing one piece that could get them over the hump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But these 'hawks do remind me of the Bulls before Phil Jackson. They are missing one piece that could get them over the hump. I don't think confidence is a problem for this Hawks team. The problem is they do not stay fully intense for 60 minutes a night. It has been their biggest problem all year long. You have seen it already in this Calgary series. Most nights they have been able to use their skill advantage to skate around teams and beat them. In the playoffs where all of that open ice disappears, you can't get away with that, especially for a Red Wings type team that has just as much skill as the Hawks do, if not more, and play a full 60 minutes. Don't get me wrong, this is the best Hawks team that we have had for about a generation now, but they still have that last step to make before you can put them in the top few teams in hockey, IMO.

I feel the exact opposite, I do not think we stand much of a chance at all vs the Red Wings, but against the Sharks I can see the Hawks being able to upset them. That being said, for now, still have a series to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Kane is a game-time decision tonight. Man, does he need to get that ankle fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Spencer Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Kane has been getting pretty roughed up in the 1st 2 games. Maybe a game off will do him some good. He just doesn't seem Physical enough for the Playoffs. Also I think it's time for someone to kick Rene Borque's Azz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IlliniKrush Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I don't know. If he's not playing through something, that's bulls***. However if he has a concussion, which in theory is possible, then nothing can be said. Not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxbrian Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 I already have a replica red Kane, and I'm planning on getting a white one. If it were up to you guys, would you get Sharp, Versteeg, or Seabrook? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilJester99 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I would have to think Kane being out it would be more than the flu at this point in the year. I think its more a concussion than anything else. He was getting abused in game 2. Of course they never tell the real reason during the playoffs to a player being out.

EvilJester99 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) Sharp with a big PP goal there to take the lead on a stupid penalty by Jokinen there...now a too many men on the Flames... Edited April 21, 2009 by EvilJester99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chimpy2121 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 So why dont they review that high stick? He's obviously bleeding because of it and it should be a double minor. They reviewed the one earlier in the season that f***ed us on a goal (Kane did it, forget who it was against). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't review it. If a linesman saw it, they can confer with the referees and then a double minor or major can be called. In this case a double minor.

And Burish with some real chicken s*** at the end of the game. Ugh. Yup, fitting right in as mr. invisible. s***ty in the defensive zone, not creating anything offensively, and 'qbing' the SECOND pp unit, as cam barker is deservedly running the blue line on the first unit. f***ing waste. Not the first time he's done this in the playoffs, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
