Hard part of the schedule coming up with the Avs, Ducks, and Bruins on the way. Must-wins all.

Hawks now trail the Blues in scoring by five-thousandths of a goal. Ridiculous.

Again, I can't scout the Avs, so someone else should have done this. Committed Indian had a really good writeup, as they always do.

28-12-5 (61), 26-14-5 adjusted (57), 52.259 expected (pretty big overachieving)
30-8-10 (70), 26-12-10 adjusted (62), 63.437 expected (we ought to steal one soon)

Avs: 2.889 scored (6th), 2.489 allowed (12th), 0.400 differential (9th)
Hawks: 3.563 scored (2nd), 2.625 allowed (14th), 0.938 differential (2nd)

Avs: 25/131 19.1% on the power play (13th), 109/135 80.7% on the kill (17th)
Hawks: 37/153 24.2% on the power play (4th), 108/140 77.1% on the kill (28th)

Please just bat these punks around. I've grown to dislike them very much.

I don't beating up the hapless Oilers constitutes getting anything out of the way. It could easily get even worse.

Maybe I'm missing something, but........what?
2nd best record in the entire league, defending champs - and they "must win" all 3 of these games?


Yeah. No.



I expect a little bit of fireworks tonight.

During that Blues game where the Hawks blew the lead, folks we're saying no one could beat the Hawks in a 7 game series. Now, the Hawks are clearly a notch below the best teams. My how the band wagon emptied out. No way these are must win games.

Didn't seem like Avs tried for the face off even then already a PP.

Mike, literally no direct flights from Pittsburgh to Vegas...cept for Southwest? We're going to Cubs Pirates on 6/10 before Vegas.

There must be. I took SW from Cali to Pitt and connected Vegas.

SW is only direct option. I could not believe it.

One thing I def miss about Chicago is direct flights anywhere.

Not me. I still don't think they can lose a 7 game series.

I'm with you. If this team is healthy, they can't be beat. Not at this point.

Playoff experience counts as well. Part of what made the Red Wings unstoppable for so long.

Ill be surprised if Zues-Versteeg-Bickell don't score a couple tonight between them. They are dominating play when they're out there.

So they scored on what, their fourth shot on goal? How shitty.

They probably won't even make the playoffs.

Well, this one got away from them in a hurry. Blues are playing a plummeting Coyotes team tonight, by the way.

Among other crappiness, the "one-pass-too-many" disease appears to have stricken the team again.
