Aren't the hawks over the cap with kane, but because it's the playoffs there are no cap rules.

Yes, they are, and I called it when they made the trade with Arizona that they were cheating the system a bit.

Ha. But vermette is a healthy scratch, so without him, I believe they're under it.

Or at least close.

Timmonnens not playing, is he?

But he is magically better game 1 lol when he could have played a week a go

I remember, I seen an article about teasing kanes return for the playoffs not that long ago and I was shocked.

I hope everyone of these games goes to multiple overtimes.

[jimmyemeryhunter 2,747]

Overtime

[Jersey Wing 1,521]

Let's Go Preds! Make "The Stache" look bad for putting in Darling.

I'll say Stalberg wins it.

He could have put in a cardboard cutout and that would have been better than crawford.

[Jersey Wing 1,521]

Good OT so far.

Yeah but you can go on Hawks boards and start all kinds of sniping among Hawk fans by saying he made a mistake

[WingZNut13 99]

This game is the reason I love NHL Playoffs.

Excellent OT period so far. Goalies are the stars of the this one...

[cnot19 191]

This is a great game. I don't think any sport or any single game in other sports approaches overtime playoff hockey

[HadThomasVokounOnFortSt 878]

Nashville did the same thing with there tickets. No one out of state. Guess they don't have fans either lol

[Ram 240]

Wow what a great OT period that was. Glad I am not a fan of either team, would be insanely stressed.

[gcom007 1,465]

Some real good games on night 1 of the playoffs. Chicago proving once again why you can't quite count them out as much as you might want to or it might seem a perfectly reasonable thing to do. Nashville's going to have the momentum coming into 2nd OT after that kill though.

[Jersey Wing 1,521]

If Scott Darling can't cut it with the Blackhawks he can always go back to his job at Captain Hook Fish & Chips

[gcom007 1,465]

Wow. Didn't see it ending like this after the 1st. This is looking like it's got the makings of a good series.

Stupid Predators, can't finish again.

[RedWingsRox 614]

Wow ... what drama. Darling ?? Where did he come from? They come back with Crawford in game 2, right?

Nashville blows a great opportunity to take game 1. I love it.

[Rhah 195]

I read a stat that the Hawks lost 30,000 fans after 1st period ended...

...bandwagon swung back around and picked them up and 10,000 more by end of 2nd.

[Ram 240]

Would be shocked if Crawford does not start Game 2. He is their guy and led them to Cup before. Darling looked great, but Q is a smart coach and the goalie switch was to get the team to rally after giving up three in one period. (It worked).

Q >> Babs

But there are some bozos on this board who think that any of the other 29 teams would fire their coach tomorrow if Babs said yes to go to their team.
