I don't understand what makes this team be so bad.

13 fucking shots in two periods.

13.

Coulda been 14, but instead of firing at the net with time winding down, Kane just HAD to force a pass to Smith that he couldn't do anything with. Then the turnover and near-disastrous breakaway a the end...mindboggling.

I agree, but they are just plain catshit in this game, a game where they should have come out shot out of a cannon after the last game. THE worst game of the postseason so far.

It's not that they're a bad team, it's just that they have the capacity to be really bad. High ceiling, low floor. They're really bad tonight. 13 shots on goal, no shots from Toews, on goal, blocked, missed, or otherwise. That's bad. Minnesota just might have figured out how to win this series: trap, trap some more, dump it in, set up in front of the goal.

I'm getting really fucking tired of this RFDC following me around giving me shit every time I give the team shit. It's every single time. Who am I, Elmhurst Steve?

you act as if this is some new game plan that they did not try in games 1 and 2.

The Hawks are still winning this series.

I told you guys from the start this series was going to be harder than many thought.

I'm getting ready to turn in since I gotta work, but hey, worst case scenario is serve is held and the Hawks come home, so there's that, I guess...

They look just like they did in games 1/2 vs. St. Louis. Horrible, horrible passes, nobody's able to get in position, and tons of turnovers. Can't do anything right.

It's just so demoralizing to watch them get so obviously outworked by a team with less talent. That shouldn't have to happen. Losing to Detroit in 2009 and Vancouver in 2011, those losses you can stomach because of how good those teams were -- both went to Game 7 of the Final, that was as good as the Canucks ever looked. But getting shown up by Clayton Stoner and Matt Cooke? That should make anyone worry. That's brutal.

This game is over. Hawks-blues in reverse.

This is a fucking joke

Wouldn't surprise me if they won 5 and 6 at this point. The offense is shut down.

They're letting a talentless troll like Spurgeon contribute and a brain dead pylon in Stoner be relevant.

My God can Minnesota burn in hell. 20,000 of America's finest idiots.

Bryzgalov 11/13 tonight. They're letting anyone do anything.

What a piss poor effort. They're all playing like huge vaginas afraid to win a board battle. Every 50/50 puck is going to Minny. Worse is it encourages and feeds the 10 IQ crowd of 20K parrots chanting. Everything about the state of Minnesota needs to go away.

Ain't over yet but this one is on Crawford. He was playing baked as fuck today.

I usually don't get like this but this team is in big trouble. The Wild are totally in their head's.

Maybe the Blues series just took too much out of them and there's nothing left going forward.

_________________

Shit, the crowd is in my head. I watched the last two periods on mute. They can all burn in hell.

Hawks will have to win this in 7 if they can win it at all.

_________________

Crawford was terrible and the 5 guys on the ice might as well have not come to play at all. Again.

This pussy, disinterested, sloppy version of the Blackhawks that appears from time to time? Fuck these Caller Bobs. Fuck them until they're dead.

Now that they have something to motivate them they'll probably kick it in gear and win, but it should never have come to this. These assholes should be scoreboard watching. Instead they pissed it away.

Fuck 'em. Go back to the UC w/ your tails between your fucking legs. You have a game on Sunday where you can't blame the asshole crowd chanting "Crawwwforddd," you can't blame Q being a dipshit w/ his line chemistry, you have one simple objective - shoot the motherfucking puck relentlessly. God dammit I'm not drunk enough to deal w/ this horse shit.

Hey Q, I have an idea:

One of the biggest concerns with this team overall is fatigue (played until damn near July last year, half the team was in the Olympics, etc). Maybe don't fly home in between road games next time? You know, needlessly adding 2 more flights, etc to an already tired team? This team looked slow, uninspired, and frankly, disinterested for most of the game tonight.

And thank everything that is good and holy that Bollig played tonight.
And that he's on the team in the first place - and ESPECIALLY - that they extended him earlier this year.
Jeezus.

_________________

definitely a horrible effort by all involved, I don't think I could name a player that had a good game. Crawford with his worst game of the playoffs. Energy was non existent. Way too many turnovers in their own zone.

But this is not the Blues who are going to wilt and lose 4 straight. This is a team that has shown itself resilient time and time again. They will bounce back.

Yeah I forgot about that. Seems pretty stupid. Even tho they were short flights, traveling wears you out more.

And I bet some did not wear sport coats and caused others to be distracted by the savages
