SiouxScore Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 exactly, and that is why their power absolutely stinks right now is because they are trying to make the perfect play to have the perfect shot. instead of just shooting the puck they are trying to be perfect. There are a lot of problems with their powerplay and it has been pretty bad the whole postseason. One of there biggest problems is their spacing is really bad right now, they also seem to be overhandling the puck and really not making the simple play. I agree with you it is probably best to simplify things and just get traffic in fron of Rask and get shots through which has been a lot easier said then actually done.

Snake Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 One of there biggest problems is their spacing is really bad right now, they also seem to be overhandling the puck and really not making the simple play. It's funny, because you'd think something as simple as proper spacing would be very, very easy to fix - if it was completely under Chicago's control. I think credit has to go to Boston for denying Chicago the areas of the ice they want to be on. Also, I haven't seen a team better with their sticks on the kill (or in the defensive zone, period) as Boston is right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boston deserves a lot of credit for taking away lanes but Chicago also deserves a lot of blame for not adjusting. The other thing that Boston has done a good job of is making it very tough for the Hawks to gain the zone and get control, biggest thing the Hawks need to do is simplify their game.

hrkac Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Chicago needs to dumb-down simplify their game if they want to compete against the defensive juggernaut that is the Bruins. The Hawks couldn't get to the net last night and they better find a solution tomorrow night. Also, it would help to have Hossa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxScore Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Sounds like Bickell, Toews, and Kane will be together again as top line and that line looked very good in the LA series. I think they could be very dangerous tonight and gotta believe the Hawks will come out flying right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like Hossa should be playing. I'll go Hawks 3-1 again Goon. GO HAWKS!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxScore Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Pretty good 1st for Hawks up until the bad clear attempt and weak goal and that seems to have given the Bruins life. Thought that early interference call on the Hawks was pretty weak and why did the ref wait so long to make the call on the trip on Keith towards the end of the period?

IrishSiouxFan Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 What's with the Hawks and all the needless penalties, it's like they're trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scpa0305 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I have never seen a team get this many fortunate bounces. Not only are they a good team playing well, but they get so many good bounces. The one game the Hawks start putting the puck in the net....Boston gets all these flukey bounces right on their tape. Hawks still look good tonight though.

scpa0305 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Wow Hawks get lucky there. I'm finally glad Bergeron is getting the recognition he has deserved over the last 4-5 years. I have been a huge fan since he was in GF and nobody but real hockey fans understand how good this guy actually is. In my book he's top 5 forward in the game. No doubt in my mind. He would probably have even more accolades had he not had his brain mashed a few years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxScore Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Hawks look pretty good but a bad goal for Boston and a really flukey bounce have the Bruins right in it and with all the momentum again. Some might look at the Hawks having 4 goals and think Rask wasn't that great tonight but they would be wrong as he has been very good again and he came up huge on a couple great chances.

SiouxScore Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Without Crawford reverting to past seasons form this game is over. Hawks have played pretty well aside from the goaltending position but with the sudden death situation and the way Crawford has played tonight it has got to be a scarry situation for them.
