The Hawks tie it up!

bugmenot · 04-22-2009, 10:42 PM

Flames are letting them back in.... Must have taken lessons from the sharks!

Hoping the sharks can play like they did last night. Nabakov has been their best player the past playoffs, and he needs to step up now. Too many goals that could be stopped.

WOW! 4-4 just like that. Tom must be going crazy!

Bigwaved · 04-22-2009, 11:26 PM

The Caps look frustrated.

'Hawks lose, sorry Tom.

Sure did. Rangers looked like they were the 2nd seed.

Couldn't finish off the comeback....still a nice effort, as long as the home team wins every game in this series, I am OK with it....especially since I have tickets to Game 7 if it goes that far.

Iginla had a great game... but I don't think he can carry the Flames much further. You gotta feel good about the Blackhawks chances.

Hope you see a great game Friday!

The Hawks Flames series is by far the best first round series. I assumed it would be Sharks Ducks do to bad blood. That has not materialized and strangely the Sharks are out hitting the Ducks. This Hawks Flames series is a beauty though. Tons of big hits and a lot of chatter. Expected to see some fights, just not happening. Great series though.

The King needs to stand on his head one more time. Staal sure has matured.

I am not fretting about the Hawks yet, I think they will have a more solid effort in Game 5...but it would have been much more comfortable coming home with a 3-1 series lead, Joe!

I agree about the Hawks/Flames series, as it has been the most exciting by far. They keep the tempo up the whole game. I'm hoping that one goes seven.

I'm not too surprised about the hitting in the Sharks/Ducks games. While I think they have a ways to go, the Sharks have come a long way from the team that will back down when the hitting starts. I think between the hit last year against the Flames, and the new coach, they have corrected that. Murray has managed to hit a lot, and at the same time not be out of position all the time.

romwarrior · 04-23-2009, 01:38 PM

Yeah, the CHI/CAL series has been great. Last night's games was a nice back and forth game. I still don't see how the Flames can compete with the skill level of the Hawks but the playoffs are not always about skill. I hope this series goes the full seven games, but I really hope the Hawks win it for the man from Douchebagistan.

I would be more relaxed if it were "Hawks in 6"!

Flames in six baby! Can you feel the intimidation kicking in yet???

It's not always about the most skilled...and all this from a Flames squad that is without a few key regulars. Can't wait for Regehr and Borque to get back into the lineup

smokeyandthebandit05 · 04-23-2009, 07:51 PM

GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Devils lead 1-0

Flyers up 2 - 0.

Hoping they can win out... would be a first for the franchise. Coming back from a 3 -1 hole.

smokeyandthebandit05 · 04-23-2009, 08:53 PM

Devils still 1-0 with 2:35 left to go in the 3rd
