The Leafs could have prevented all of this from happening. 4-1 lead 10 minutes left... Still cant believe that ****.
I mostly agree with this but there is one thing that makes Chicago a threat. They have been able to figure out 2 of the top 5 Goalies in the league this playoff run. Howard and Quick were red hot entering the series and the Blackhawks (took a while vs Detroit) were able to force their will and make them look average at key times. Also, Boston does have an offense that is scary at all IMO. I can see every game being a 2-1, 1-0 type with many OT games. Should be great. Hawks will clinch today.
holy crap. kings tie the game down a point with 9 seconds left. overtime now with their series on the line.
That was truly unreal. What's also unreal is this game. My jaw dropped for about 30 seconds after that last goal.
Sigh. I had a feeling after the Kings tied it that the Hawks might not win this game with the way the Kings came alive. And then the ultimate tease of being up 3-2 and then allowing a goal with 9 seconds left. Very nervous for this OT, I think the Kings have the momentum. This one is really going to hurt if the Hawks go on to lose because they decided to ice the puck with 10 seconds left.

What a sigh of relief after giving up that last second goal. LA is one tough team. Toughest test of all coming up now... the Bruins. I expect a lot of close low-scoring games. I'll be a homer and pick the Hawks in 6, but the Bruins will be favored going in (at least I think they should) even without home ice. They're playing their best hockey at the right time. It'll be the Bruins physicality vs. the Hawks speed. Also on a side note, really nice to see Kane playing well again.

Wow....that shot at the end of the 2nd OT in the power play was as close to a goal as I've ever seen without scoring. Deflected shot hits the post, rebounds out between the net and goalie (BEHIND THE GOALIE) right to another guy who then whiffs the rebound.
