Quote:

NEW YORK -- Joel Quenneville, Bruce Boudreau and Paul MacLean have been announced as the finalists for the Jack Adams Award, given to the head coach who has contributed most to his team's success.

Quenneville led Chicago to a league-best 36-7-5 mark after opening the season by earning a point in each of its first 24 games, setting an NHL record. Quenneville previously won the award in 2000 with St. Louis.

In his first full season in Anaheim, Boudreau led the Ducks to the Pacific Division title and the second seed in the Western Conference playoffs. Anaheim was third overall in the NHL standings after finishing 25th the previous season. Boudreau previously won the award in 2008 with Washington.

MacLean, a finalist for the second straight year, led Ottawa to the No. 7 seed in the Eastern Conference while overcoming the prolonged absences of several key players.

Q won't commit to him being in the lineup.

Me thinks the Blackhawks aren't going to re-sign him in FA. ]]> Chicago Blackhawks Forum nwfisch http://www.chicitysports.com/forum/showthread.php/35700-Stalgod-a-Healthy-Scratch Semifinals Game 1 IGT Red Wings at Blackhawks 7 PM CT 5/15/13 http://www.chicitysports.com/forum/showthread.php/35694-Semifinals-Game-1-IGT-Red-Wings-at-Blackhawks-7-PM-CT-5-15-13?goto=newpost Mon, 13 May 2013 16:12:09 GMT Image: http://www.midwestsportsfans.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Blackhawks-Red-Wings-.jpg Image: https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSXrZ3MUfbPjlfMssj5NEmdvFA2S2EwcZUoSFaZnyX35U14lvPdKA

Sharks would have gave them a rough second round match up while the Dead Things give them a bit of a breather. The two top lines will offset each other while the Hawks have a huge advantage in forward depth on the bottom two. Defense is so pro-Hawks it isn't even funny as both bottom pairing guys would be a second pair for the Wings.

Hawks in 5. The only obvious advantage the Wings have is Bab's. If he decides to put some effort into the series it might go 6. ]]> Chicago Blackhawks Forum Martini http://www.chicitysports.com/forum/showthread.php/35687-The-Beloved-VS-Detoilet-Serives-Thread Bickell A Good NHL Player Or The Contract Year Motivation? http://www.chicitysports.com/forum/showthread.php/35670-Bickell-A-Good-NHL-Player-Or-The-Contract-Year-Motivation?goto=newpost Mon, 13 May 2013 04:15:30 GMT what are your thoughts on this? what are your thoughts on this? ]]> Chicago Blackhawks Forum DewsSox79 http://www.chicitysports.com/forum/showthread.php/35670-Bickell-A-Good-NHL-Player-Or-The-Contract-Year-Motivation Wings And Ducks Game 7 IGT http://www.chicitysports.com/forum/showthread.php/35644-Wings-And-Ducks-Game-7-IGT?goto=newpost Sat, 11 May 2013 19:39:39 GMT For anyone wanting to discuss this all important Game 7.

Terrible upper league management is usually tabbed as the main culprit but what is generally overlooked is the fact that the NHL is the only pro league that plays by two sets of rules. I'm not talking about two rule books, Im talking about the difference in the way the games are officiated between regular season and the playoffs. Why should playoff games be officiated any differently than a game played in December? There is not a single major pro sport that changes it's "rules" when the playoffs start....not even the sport with the worst officials, the NBA. It's just NHL hockey. Ever wonder why the Stanley Cup playoffs are so wildly and brutally entertaining? Because it's allowed to be.

A perfect example is the term "finishing checks"....a term BTW, that you seldom hear during the regualr season. The reason being that the majority of these so called "finished checks" are in reality late hits that during the regular season are called boarding or charging....which from what I hear are still penalties. These are very dangerous hits put on players that are, for the most part, in no position to protect themselves....hits made after a player has just made a pass. Players usually go out early and see what they can get away with and take it from there and in the playoffs they let them get away with a lot.

Why is this allowed only at playoff time? Good question. Probably has to do with TV dollars which higher ratings provide the networks with. Don't get me wrong, its entertaining as hell but there's no way it should be allowed. If the NHL is going to allow this, then remove the boarding and charging penaties or at least re-word them.

How do you think the NFL would look if in the playoffs if they stopped calling pass interference or late hits? It would certainly cheapen the league. ]]> Chicago Blackhawks Forum Diehardfan http://www.chicitysports.com/forum/showthread.php/35484-The-Myth-Of-quot-Finishing-Checks-quot-Thread Bernstein: Hawks Now Must Fire Bobby Hull http://www.chicitysports.com/forum/showthread.php/35476-Bernstein-Hawks-Now-Must-Fire-Bobby-Hull?goto=newpost Sun, 05 May 2013 22:54:12 GMT Link (http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2013/05/05/bernstein-blackhawks-now-must-fire-bobby-hull/) Here we go again with this idiot.

I am looking into getting an NHL jersey for the first time. I am likely going to get a premier one, and want to know a little bit about the sizing of the shirts.

I am 6'1" and 285, and wear an XXL.

As far as T-shirts go, an XXL is fine for me, but it's a tad short. However, my Nike NFL and NBA jerseys that are also XXL are plenty comfortable on me and plenty long.

My question is, how do NHL premier jerseys size compare to NFL jerseys by Nike? Should I be comfortable getting an XXL if my Nike XXL jerseys fit me just fine? Thanks!
