With the Blues' loss tonight (and a big injury to Fabbri), Hawks-Perds is 99% set for the first round. Here we go again.
whats ur hawks confidence level @ on a scale of 1 to 10 for a hawx/perdz series?
6.6. Nashville has been discombobulated this year because their goaltending is going to shit and their forwards as a whole aren't really as good as they need to be for a Laviolette run-and-gun team, but they've also had a lot of injuries when we've seen them, especially to Subban, and they could be putting it together down the stretch. The Hawks as of late haven't inspired a great deal of confidence, but when have they ever from games 49 through 82?
I think Shea Weber may have been more integral to the Perds than people gave him credit for. I mean, it's not that anyone ever
disliked Shea Weber, at least not beyond "I don't like that he doesn't play for my team," but when Subban came to town, well, no one was going to miss a chance to get up and say "I am in favor of the black guy, the black guy is the best, I will not allow myself to be mistaken for the people who don't like the black guy," and now all of a sudden Weber is just a big dumb old white guy (who has the Habs in first place). The whole thing about having to rescue Subban from the racism of Montreal always struck me as silly given his destination: "Montreal is so racist! This is where he belongs, in a city that makes music for aggressively white people, in a state that seceded from America over the right to own black people."
