SuperNovaXll 124 Report post Posted May 12, 2009 I would rather talk about this....AFTER the duck series. That series is far from over. We need one more win. So im not going to talk about how we match up with them but I will say that im really happy to see the Blackhawks back in the WCF. They havent been very good the past 15 years. So its great to see another original 6 team doing well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
servo 15 Report post Posted May 12, 2009 My biggest fear of Chicago against anyone is the fact that they are so resilliant *sp?*. They can bring so much intensity in the OV that teams can get back on their heels so quick. They have a great back line that can score alot of goals. I'm concerned about facing the hawks. I'd much rather face Vancouver. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Theophany 110 Report post Posted May 12, 2009 (edited) To the people saying crap about "juju": Use your rational brain. Nothing we say or do has any effect on what the team does tonight. None of us have any "juju" effect on whether Dats or Z play their best, nor do we have any effect on whether Hossa puts up 1 point or 6000. Logic is highly underrated when it comes to sports; the Ducks are down in the series and their main players are exhausted. Getzlaf has been playing like s*** in the past two games. It's obvious the amount of time that he's played thus far in the playoffs is getting to him. Whether we win tonight or in game 7, the series is ours. There's no way that a team as experienced as ours comes out and doesn't show up when they can see the end of the tunnel. So kindly shut up about "juju" nonsense and use some logic; you have a brain with higher intellectual functions for a reason. Use what you've been given instead of reverting back to the cattle-sacrificing primitives we've grown past. Edited May 12, 2009 by Theophany Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vincanni 1 Report post Posted May 12, 2009 Like: Shorter travel, no 10:30 games, Coach 'Q' is basically the Wings *****, compelling original six match-up, its a true definition of how dominant the Central division was this year, and I don't have to watch my favorite team play my fiancee's favorite team which would only end up badly one way or the other. Dislike: We are currently playing the Ducks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

See the beauty of this is you can choose which threads to participate in This. As for the topic -- 'hakws don't scare me at all. They got past the 'nucks because the 'nucks don't play hockey so much as ride their goalie and hope for the best. This Wings team is hands-down the best team in the playoffs and currently has the second best team in the playoffs on the ropes. Wings in 4.

wingslogo19 281 Report post Posted May 12, 2009 Im really glad the Hawks got past the Nucks. Nucks didn't play hockey when it counted. Main thing is I don't have to listen to everyone where I live go on and on about the Nucks, and the damn car flags will be taken down Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waitahochiminute 2 Report post Posted May 12, 2009 I would like this rivalry to get a little spark. Anytime two original six teams are goin at it im in heaven anyway...but the Blackhawks do have some young talent in Kane and Toews to look out for and a veteran Goalie that has been around. Should be a good series when it inevitably happens Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SDavis35 140 Report post Posted May 12, 2009 Um,... hate to rain on everyone's parade, but Wings didn't advance to the WCF yet. This thread is premature and bad juju. I do believe the title says "blackhawks advance" and nothing about the Wings, but this HAS been reiterated several times already... Now to my opinion/analysis! I see the Hawks as a team that's made it deep because their opponents failed to capitalize on rookie mistakes. It would seem that either that Hawks are really good at covering up, or the Canadian teams just didn't have good enough coaching (which with Keenan seems unlikely, but Vigneault (sp?) never really liked much) All a team has to do if they are to beat the Hawks, is capitalize on the errors, and play a solid team defence. Something that the Wings have shown they can do. As for Bulin, he's been through it all before, so don't underestimate the guy. His sv% numbers will go up big time against the Wings. Also of note: the Hawks are playing eerily similar to the Wings of the 08/09 season, so if the Wings show up in the WCF, it will be a rude awakening to the kiddies.

HadThomasVokounOnFortSt 878 Report post Posted May 13, 2009 No love in Minnesota for Detroit Red Wings! I went to school wearing my Red Wings jersey and at least 25 people came up to me asking me if we are nervous to play the Blackhawks. I just said we are not looking at this series right now (which I ain't looking at), we got one more with the Ducks. Once I said that they said that once we beat Ducks tonight we better be sweating about the Blackhawks and how they are going to kill us. All I could do was walk away laughing and said "we'll see, we'll see!" I almost got to think that Blackhawks are coming into the next series a little bit to confident.

TSD 10 Report post Posted May 13, 2009 (edited) If the Wings advance to play the Blackhawks Pros - Wings have the number of any team coached by Joel Quenville - Wings have beaten Khabibulin in the past in the playoffs (1998 Phoenix) - Original-6 matchup, good for TV ratings in all likelihood Cons - Chicago has solid offensive pop and got to Luongo consistently when he's often deemed the best goalie out there - Just about every Blackhawk fan that's ever been affiliated with this forum has been a mindless troll, giving Blackhawk fans a bad name. Hopefully this would not be the case this time if the Wings advance, although I'm not getting my hopes up. Whoa cowboy, I chime in here every now and again for the past couple years, hardly with troll posts. Sure there's rivalry, but so far in my experience all of you have been decent no reason for me not to be the same back. Canucks board on the otherhand I ended up kind of turning into a troll after spending time trying to engage in productive discussion I would get randomly attacked, and got sick of how they never gave the hawks credit for anything, it was either the refs, or "X player played bad or else we would have won were better than the hawks". By my estimation (the Penalties dished out were even, throughout the series) with all the non calls they complained about, they needed about 30 minutes of PP time per game to win(seriously after every game they would run off about 15 "non calls" they claim they were shafted for).

The thing about the blackhawks attitude I precieve and other teams is this: The Blackhawks are happy to be here and other teams we've faced expect to be here. A positive step this year was making the playoffs for me, everything else thus far has been a bonus. I highly doubt they are overconfident, I don't think you go into a series over confident against a team that had their way with you most of the regular season. JQ better be mind raping Scotty Bowman, hes gonna need it. Edited May 13, 2009 by TSD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlackHawks 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2009 Most of you are so confident that Detroit will win, just wondering why when you are having a hard time beating Anahiem? Chicago is very deep in every line and every line is dangerous and will score. Our defensive core has arguably 3 of the top defensman in the the league with Seabrook, keith and campbell, not to mention the highly skilled Barker and two other very decent defensman that rarely make mistakes. If Detroit is to take Chicago lightly then they got another thing coming. IMHO Chicago in 6 if Detroit can make it past the Ducks and i sure hope they will.
