blackhawks are the miami heat of hockey this year

[face]

deep, fast, relentless team full of energy. how do they not win it this year? they look to be the best team to me.

[bobbyk1133]

Corey Crawford is far from proven.

LA or SJ will be a much tougher test than DET.

[PuckIt]

We shall see what happens when Chicago gets behind in a series, if it happens.

[bobbyk1133]

If it is LA/CHI, 90% of bettors here will bet on LA.

[riffraff24]

The Heat get an additional advantage of all calls going their way. NHL isnt nearly as shady as the NBA. Oh i'm sorry....NBA involves more of the "human element" when making calls.

[Rich Boy]

LAK have the size to beat them. Will be close though

[jayson311]

No chance at the cup in my opinion



Chicago #9. Also not gonna stop PP 100% like they are now

[ebelisle22]

Completely agree.

...me thinks he knows who #1 is up there

take a look at the last few Cup winners and see where their power play was ranked

Edit: Actually just the last two Champs, LA 12th and Boston 14th. Hawks and Penguins top half when they won.

Pittsburgh pens are the new England Patriots of Hockey

dream on. boston bruins will kick pens ass. only thing i'm worried about is that prick cooke fukking around...again.

[goduke]

its a pens vs the winner of the kings/sharks series in the finals. Blackhawks might be able to get past detroit but teams that start as hot as they do in the regular season never sustain it

doubt it. vokoun sucks. pens have to hope for many power plays. they'll never win 5vs5.

[The iron sheik]

Is the public really that big on the hawks?

I mean, Detroit stole home ice, the series is 2-1 wings. Next up is home ice for the wings, and you can get -115 wings for the series? That's pretty goddamn confusing, then again I have +4000 for wings @ cup

agree. Not sure if its just a lot of public chalk chasing hawks or what. Also surprised at + ev on wings at home tonight. Will be interesting but I think there is a lot of value on wings again tonight.


They win tonight and you are almost sure they win series so would rather take the +125 tonight than -115 series. They lose tonight and you can get much better series price on them. They win you got the +125. Much more value on game. Only series bet here is hawks based on odds IMO.

[LT Profits]

I don't think Blackhawks get out of this series, never mind Cup. Tonight is the BIG one though.

He seems to be doing fine theyve lost one game since hes been in goal. The bruins arent as good as people think they are beating on a team right now that is banged up and cant score. Anyone would look good playing against a team like that. I guess will just have to wait till the finals and then you can say I was right

[Winnipeg Jets]

what? pens? anderson sucks bag so the pens are gonna win?

god the people on here.

[jayson311]

Boston couldnt beat pens 5 on 3

[Winnipeg Jets]

Boston couldnt beat pens 5 on 3

regular season is over.

[Gus Fring]

Hawks peaked 2 early

[Vegas39]

Hawks peaked 2 early

Plus detroits playing the best they have all year

[rickbo528]

Hockey is the one sport where you are crazy to play great in the regular season. A team dooms themselves for the playoffs now if you win the President's trophy. Win just enough to get into the playoffs, that way expectations are low and there is no pressure.

[DennisGreen]

Not gonna win many nights with efforts like that.

Chicago showed no urgency at all in the 3rd. They were just floating around like it was a meaningless regular season game.

[Winnipeg Jets]

asterisk.

shortened season. some of the teams that made it in 48 games would not be in if it was 82 games.

imagine another wings/pens cup? nah maybe pens and kings.

[face]

poor effort. toewes in the box three times in the second period, then at the end, WTF WAS THAT?? no shots on PP or with the empty net 6 on 5 because they aren't good enough

awful game

red wings better goalie, better structure, easy to see now in hindsight

made this dumb thread after the first game where they looked really good.

Arent you the one that is saying the bruins are going to steamroll the pens? Now you are changing your mind??
