Prison_Mike Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 I guess Kesler was wrong. There are humans that can withstand the Duck's hits. What a jackass. 2 Quote

farce poobah Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 I think the Anaheim-Chicago series shows once again that hits are overrated. In the modern game, its all about positioning, puck possession, and sustaining a territorial advantage. Time after time, Anaheim guys ran out of position to make hits, giving Chicago extended position and allowing them to gain the zones with the puck. And at other times, they came into a puck carrier with their stick parallel and nowhere near the ice ... allowing Chicago to make plays. As a result, the Ducks were chasing the puck most of the series, which is more exhuasting than being hit. At the end of the series, Anaheim forwards looked tired, and I think that was a big factor. Not sure what causes coaches to allow this to happen ... or to encourage it. Vancouver did it year after year with Vigneault as head coach and paid the price. In this series, Boudreau certainly wanted his team to hit. But ultimately Anaheim paid the price for all that hitting. Quote
sioux rube Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 Brad Richards has been in 8 game 7's over his career. He is 8-0 in those games. That's nuts. Quote

MafiaMan Posted May 31, 2015 Author Posted May 31, 2015 Is this the part where siouxweet jumps in and complains about the Blackhawks and how the series is lost at 2 games to 1 because the Ducks scored 3 goals in 37 seconds? Quote

Speez Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Speez...you're a day early. Was without internet for a couple of days. Had to get my plug in for the HAWKS. GO HAWKS!!! Get the CUP. Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 This should be a fun Series to watch. Speed vs. Speed. Skill vs. Skill. Goalie (Crawford) vs. Goalie (Bishop). I will go with Blackhawks in 6 because of their leadership and experience. But don't count the Lightning out; they have young talent and some experience to balance it out. They could very well pull the upset in 7 games. Quote

southpaw Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Either team really could win it in 4 if they play well. Or it could go 7. It's weird in that nobody really knows which way it's going to go. Quote
siouxforcefans Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 my bracket when the playoffs started was Lightning over Hawks for The Cup, so I can't change course now! Go Bolts! Quote

Speez Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Hawks in 6. Only so they can finally win a Cup at home in front of their own fans. I could go for 4 but they will lose at least one. GO HAWKS!!! Quote
sioux rube Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 The Hockey News picked the Hawks and Bolts back in September to be in the finals. They now picked the Hawks in 6. Hope they are right again. Quote

bigskyvikes Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Don't know if this has been said on here before? I've read on here about people defending fighting in the NHL. I think I have also, anyone notice there is not one fight since the playoffs started? I don't think I will defend it anymore! Nothing better than playoff hockey in the NHL, and not one fight to see... Quote

Nothing better than playoff hockey in the NHL, and not one fight to see... On the other hand some of the major crap that players like Subban and Perry pulled maybe should have resulted in a beating. It might have stopped some of the diving and cheap crap. But yeah until you brought it up, hadn't thought much about it. It has been mostly great hockey. 1 Quote
