Crawford deserved better, his play is a revelation.

I think we may be fortunate to see some line shuffling and the Hawks lean in a bit offensively. We are cornered.

Now we see who we really are.
Champions.

i wish that were true..I just dont see the same elite squad as the other 3 cup teams. Kane has been MIA in first 3 games so far and no production from Toews or Hossa

I'm in. No way the Hawks top guys stay silent for this long. We'll hear from some combination of Toews/Kane/Hossa/Ladd tonight.

Panarin and Kane will both score tonight.

Still waiting for that line to have one of those games like they did in the regular season. I figure it'll come at home when the Hawks have the last change and can get away from Pietrangelo/Bouwmeester.

I thought Panarin was on fire game 3, I look for that to continue tonight with him potting a couple pts at least.:hawkbang:

I am a complete novice to hockey, but I do enjoy playoff hockey. I like the aggressive nature. But, the Blues have physically dominated the Blackhawks from what I see. They seem like the bullies in the series. I don't know if that equates to winning, but so far so good for them.

FYI every playoff series is like that for the Hawks.... teams have been trying the "Hit them to death" strategy for 6 years and we have won 3 Cups....

If you're getting hit more it usually means you have the puck more. It's not necessarily a bad thing.

Especially when you are a puck possession team lol

My favorite teams
  1. Chicago Cubs
  1. Chicago Bulls
  2. Golden State Warriors
  1. Chicago Bears
  1. Chicago Blackhawks
Can't count this team out. Top line has basically done nothing and we haven't seen anything out of Kane either. That simply won't continue...they're too good to remain quiet. I expect a couple of them to put up some points tonight. Panarin has good momentum to build off of from the last game. I'm thinking the Kane line gets hot. Once the first line wakes up, the Blues will be done.

Have your "funsies" but I wouldn't touch this game.

If I were to...it would be on the Hawks, that is not my heart betting either.

I would touch this game all day!!

The three time champions cornered and at home?!! Hell yeah.

You aren't wrong Silence but Hawks are just a little better team. Blues more athletic team.
