Stanley Cup playoffs 2013!

<p>Chicago’s got them right where they want them. ;)</p>

<p>This is embarrassing. This is the same crap that’s plagued us all season. Howard has ZERO help in front. Our defense in front of the goal is just … well I can’t even call it terrible since it doesn’t exist.</p>

<p>Gooooaaaallll!, Hawks! :)</p>

<p>Don’t be embarrassed, Romani. The Hawks really are the best team in hockey this year. There have been years when it was brutal watching Detroit dissect us.</p>

<p>Needless to say, we are pleased. I would link the song, but it’s a utube.</p>

<p>^ youtube links are allowed now, so feel free to rub it in. :D</p>

<p>That was ugly for the Red Wings.</p>

<p>I just feel bad for Howard. :(</p>

<p>Woot!! I did find the game mid-way through the 2nd period. Crawford had 34 saves, I think.</p>

<p>Anyhow, may the better team tomorrow win. </p>

<p>Go Hawks. And the Cubs beat the turds 7-0.</p>

<p>The Stanley Cup rings that are given to players have diamonds on them. A lot of diamonds.
[Hawks</a> are NHL’s ring masters - Chicago Tribune](<a href=“Hawks are NHL's ring masters”>Hawks are NHL's ring masters)</p>

<p>“The individual rings, valued at about $30,000, are 14-carat white gold weighing 91.0 grams, with 404 diamonds and gemstones totaling approximately 8 carats. They were handed out to players, coaches, equipment managers, trainers and medical staff Wednesday night during a private ceremony at a downtown restaurant.”</p>

<p>Question is, if the Hawks are so good, why are they in Game 7? The other three teams are the 5, 6 and 7 seeds, so we aren’t surprised they are playing Game 7, but why are the Hawks there?</p>

<p>You know what? I’m actually quite pleased with this whole series and have very few complaints. I think we have about a 10% chance of actually advancing but we forced the Hawks to a game seven as a 7th seed. After hearing about how great they were for the last several months, that is satisfying enough. </p>

<p>We need a regrouping year or two. We’ll be back :)</p>

<p>The chance is much higher than that, rom. Howard could steal the game, or the Wings could get lucky. You’re probably too young to remember it, but I remember the first time the Sharks were in the playoffs. They were just not a good team at all, barely made the playoffs as the 8 seed, but they managed, miraculously, to oust the President’s Trophy-winning Wings in 7.</p>

<p>Anything can happen in the playoffs.</p>

<p>Oh, I’m well aware, CF. I’m just trying not to get my hopes up ;). </p>

<p>I don’t remember the Sharks knocking us out but I remember Edmonton doing the same thing to us :(</p>

<p>For sure anything can happen, and that goes double when it’s a Chicago/Detroit match up.</p>

<p>:eek:</p>

<p>^ Indeed. </p>

<p>As long as neither city burns, let’s call it a success. :slight_smile: :p</p>

<p>I’m with you on that one. :)</p>

<p>Same here! I hope I get the channel it’s on. I think I only had it Monday as a freebie mistake.</p>

<p>call them up. Sometimes they will work something out with you.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>Well, I have the channel on now, watching 36. It’s about the Hawks, and the guide says Sharks/Kings are next. Maybe I had it all along and just didn’t know. Heaven knows I pay enough!</p>

<p>According to yahoo, the game will be on both TSN (The Sports Network) and NBCS (NBC Sports).</p>

<p>NBCS has been showing a lot of games, and when two are on at once sometimes they move one to CNBC, in my area anyway.</p>
