Give the Hawks their props. They played like a Stanley Cup champion in that series.

And there goes the number 1 draft pick.

If this is the team, how could Timmay look a camera in the lens and say he didn't plan to tank the season away?

I am all in on the Blue Jackets. This team is really growing on me.

That is my definition of suffering.

I'll give them a shot at 4-12

They did what they needed to. They stole home ice advantage.

Well this is over.

That was a nice goal by Lucic. Hate saying that.

And there we go!

Agreed. But all Detroit needs is one this period. They are a sneaky team. Boston is not putting them away. Lucic has been really quiet this game so far.. Oh so close Detroit

Maybe to a guy like Thornton, but he would have killed Smith. That montage NBC just showed, shows Smith is getting pounded in this series.

That whole Chara-Smith tift at the end of the period was comical. Chara treated him like a fly.. I don't care much for Chara, but at least he knew enough not to fight Smith. He would have hurt him and had the common sense not to fight out of his weight class. No telling what Smith was thinking there.

Okay Detroit. How about starting to play now?

Bertuzzi, Abdelkader, or Franzen Terrible decision by Howard.

More than I thought he would get playing for a league darling. I really thought it was going to be Bicknell that would get ejected last night. He was in full thuggery mode from the opening whistle. And now to the Strangers game Well that is something I don't think I have seen before. Rangers get caught with too many men on the ice as they tried to get Henrik off the ice. :w00t: And that empty netter by Simmonds was a thing of beauty.

I was jumping up and down like I was watching my Sabres.

Yep

And Roy and Leopold

2 down, 6 to go

Yes!

I know it is a fast game, but Replays show the puck was near the goal when he hit him. Clearly led with elbow. Targeted head. Textbook thug.

Let's listen to Milbury defend Seabrook

What a game. Love these Blues. Seabrook going to get a call from league

What a great period between Hawks and Blues. Loved that last goal by Shattenkirk.
