ONly down 1 on hits...something must be askew....

Is he hurt? Haven't seen him in a long while.

He's playing...but like shhhhhhhhhhhhhhit.

This has been Rask's easiest game of the series. Not sure how many shots the Hawks have, but whatever the total, I'm not sure the Hawks have had more that two or three chances that I would say Rask had to come up big on. From the start of the second period on, I never got the feeling that the Hawks were playing well enough to win this game. Aside from the anemic PP's in the first, I thought they played okay. It was a tie game and the crowd was pretty much subdued. Then Bolland got his pocket picked, Boston got the first goal and since then, it's been all Boston.

C'mon TAMPON...GET A PHUCK'N GOAL

LOL...at one point we were 3 for 18 in total FOs...But "we like our team".

Little things mean the biggest difference at these levels.

The Hawks will most likely get shutout tonight and better win Wednesday or the Bruins may skate the Cup in Chicago.

Everyone knows the Hawks suck at the FO, but this is something special tonight.

Unfortunately, I think next year's team will AT BEST be not any better - or much different - than this years.

If Stan Bowman is the "GM," and the front office structure remains as is, I would expect very little to nothing in the way of meaningful additions. i don't care what the apologists say, it is a commitee.

Stalberg and Bolland will be gone, but only Bolland will bring anything back in terms of a player or prospect. Bolland can't get you too much at this point, he looks 38 instead of 28.

Q and Kompon will be blamed. Kompon will be forced out. You might see a Brookbank-like free agent acquisition. Maybe. Just as likely not. Bickell will be re-sgined for big bucks˘then we'll have to see if he can live up to it.

Chicago PowerPlay...time to bring out the pointy hats and kazoos.

YYYYYYYEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!! The PP will get the Hawks back into this game!

Here comes the shorty to ice it.

It's really easy for Boston to keep the Hawks out on the perimeter when there isn't one Hawk in front of the net.


Oh gawd.....the pp.

Just takes one to start

Rask is seeing everything....Bickell might change that.

Exactly. I cannot think of 1 SINGLE TOUGH SAVE HE HAS HAD TO MAKE TONIGHT. NOT ONE. Pathetic.

Gettting tired of hearing Weidemen...

..."and the Bruins clear the puck down the ice"

Toews looks awful on the PP. What is the record for most power plays in a row without a shot on goal?

This is so depressing. They look a little better this period. Yay, clown car is coming ...

Have I mentioned that I watched Killer Clowns From Outer Space yesterday?

Saad is making me sick to my stomach.

I can't take the PP anymore

Oh, Stanley's Little Prize has to get prime PP time. No wonder Stalberg female doged.

The Hawks get a powerplay and the world snores.

This team looks like garbage. No fight, no heart. Time to warm up the buses. They may not win another game.

The optimist in me says it's only 1 game and they can go home Saturday with the series even at 2.

The way the Hawks look tonight, it makes it REALLY hard.

- RetiredGoalie

ONE shot on FIVE power plays. With that effort, this team doesn't deserve to win. Sure glad that Q can crack a joke about it with Pierre though.

- SAVOIRFAIRE

He made a nice glove save on a Keith shot in the first and then...can't remember much.

- philco28

Yeah me too. Lots of bad decisions. I love Toews probably more than anything but I don't think I'd put him on the PP anymore, he just is awful

Saad is making me sick to my stomach.

Terrible play by Saad after Sharp basically held the puck in the zone.
