Conference Quarterfinals: #3 Phoenix Coyotes vs. #6 Chicago Blackhawks

[thruby]

well, if this is how the power play is going to look, i might have to change my vote.

knew it was over the second the 325,346,257,462,456th stretch pass missed for icing.

that's the whole Hawks season in a nutshell, for those unaware, that stretch pass is either a turnover that ends up in the net, icing, or 1 in a million, a break away.

Bro and I made it on tv tonight. One hell of a game to be at.

[OLLBLUEEYZ]

can you say - no power play.

I was at the game it was rockin.

Coyotes had the edge physically and offensively right up to taking the 2-1 lead.
Then they went into the Dave Tippett shell and tried to hang on. Letting in a goal with 14 seconds left and if they would have lost in OT the series would have been over right there. for the life of me I cant figure out why the Hawks have no power play. Those are all world class players they put out there. And Toews was probably the best player on the ice.

Between the 7 of us at the game I actually predicted Hanzel with the game winner.

goaltender interference when the goalie makes the contact?! man, the NHL is ****ed.

and it's a goal. hahahahaha. nice call.

[mike56]

what a dive by SMith give him an emmy....

[ScottRasner]

Bad calls go both ways fellas, but the one on Toews and the Smith/Shaw incidient was just awful on both accounts.

Refs starting to call PHX on crap too, so its becoming a penalty fest now.

that "holding" call was terrible, but i thought this hook just now was legit.

[thruby]

the more i see the Smith hit, the more pathetic it looks.

that's how you win in the NHL though.

Good penalty though. Hjalmarsson smoked Doan earlier in the game. That kid can hit when he wants to.

which is weird, because he usually doesn't want to. i love it though. wish it would have happened more in the regular season, that's for sure.

These calls that Mike Smith have drawn are making me sick. Refs need to pull their head out of their ass and stop the bullsh!t calls. Shaw should have gotten 2 minutes max. Thought Smith played for Vancouver for a minute.
