The Blackhawks dynasty is over. Losing Hossa and Hjammer in a week, what an awful awful week.
There goes about 6 million cap problems.
I know there is a lot of people calling foul on this one, but no way we can get Hossa value with the money saved.
This is bad for the Blackhawks. I...
I'm not conflicted on that hit. Before giving my opinion, I want the Pens to lose. Of the teams left, i hate them most.
The hit was dirty. It is that type of shit that is destroying the league. It...
I don't blame the young players. Toews, Kane, Hossa, Panarin, didnt show up.
It sucked. Easily the worst playoff performance for the Hawks in the Kane/Toews era. I fear the dynasty is done.
...
Oh and other call that after all the shit they let go including to high sticks to Kane before it.

I'm so damn sick of the NHL prioritizing thugs over skill. A good 2 to 3 obvious missed penalties on that last series by the Preds. Absolutely bullshit what they are letting them get away with.

Bad first period. Great play by Rinne.

It would be fun to beat a new team in the finals this year. I'm hoping though for the Pens for some old school revenge from 1992.

Toews, Hossa, Keith, and Seabrook all to be healthy scratches tonight. Congrats on the win Ducks.
Blackhawks are out of the Presidents Trophy race and have the west locked up. We would have to win the next 3 and have the Caps lose 4 straight. I'm not sure it matters so much finishing ahead of the...
You are welcome again Caps. I think the Blackhawks just settled the Presidents Trophy race. It is going to the Caps.
Also, I think we have the west locked up. 9 point lead with the Wild having 5...
You are welcome Caps fans.
That was a fun game. Kane had 2 great assists tonight. The one to Panarin was amazing.

I had the same complaint about the Central for years. This year not so much.

The President's trophy race has suddenly got very interesting.
Caps: 100 points - 11 games remaining
Blue Jackets: 98 points - 12 games remaining
Pens: 97 points - 12 games remaining ...
Darling out 3 weeks.

The unfortunate thing is that with Crawford's no movement clause it isn't happening.

Oh and Darling is going to be paid this off season. I'm going to miss the luxury of having him as a backup. I'd fully support moving Crawford and signing Darling for 4 million.

Great goal by Panik.

Blackhawks playing great hockey. I'm somewhat concerned like last year they are peaking too...
Blackhawks paid a lot for Vermette in 2015. It was worth it. It is all about identifying your core and being willing to part with those non-core assets when needed. It sure sounds like the Caps...
All apologies to Redbird, but I really like the way that Armstrong is tearing the Blues apart.
Overpriced contracts to middling players like Steen, Lehtera, and Berglund have been great. Those...
Nice to get him out of the Central. Any thoughts about the prospects you shipped out?

What I always like to look at most is CF% 5v5 Close and FF% 5v5 Close. I think when you isolate it out for situations where the game is on the line and when it is even strength, you get the best...
If by cares a lot you mean it is the metric that has shown to predict success and has been how the Blackhawks built our dynasty, yes I care a lot.
The Caps problem traditionally has been they are...
Alright, it is time to start hyping the Blackhawks Stanley Cup prospects. December and January were ugly, but the Blackhawks seem to be hitting their stride in February. The young players are showing...
