Around Hockey XII (All Non-Jackets Hockey talk in here)

[major major]

I'm rooting for the Hawks tonight, because

1) Hate the Wings.

2) Chicago-LA, Boston-Pittsburgh will be four heavyweights in the conference finals. I can't remember the last time we had four elite teams in the end.

2) 1 is enough.

2) 1 is enough.

More than enough!

Interview with Clint Malarchuk

http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id...road-recovery-latest-30-30-documentary-series

Having seen the footage and knowing the story, I found this extremely interesting. I don't think I'd ever seen/heard Clint Malarchuk talking about his injury or the things that he went through afterwards, and to hear it from him is pretty incredible. The thing I found the most amazing was at the very end, about what could have happened with just a little more momentum. Kudos to the team's trainer, Jim Pizzutelli (a Vietnam War veteran) for having the intelligence and experience to know exactly what to do.

Warning: graphic footage.

OT. Great game.

 

[skimp]

******** call.

Fun facts:

Chicago is 0-1 all-time in Game 7 OTs (2011 @ Vancouver)

Detroit is 4-1 all-time, and 1-1 in the last 48 years. Their last loss was in 1993 against Toronto (Nikolai Borschevsky), their last win was in 1996 against St. Louis (Steve Yzerman). They've previously defeated Toronto, Montreal, and NY Rangers; they've never played Chicago or Boston in this scenario.

Yzerman's goal was the last time in the NHL that a Game 7 OT goal was scored beyond the first overtime.

This is the first time that a Game 7 OT has taken place after the first round since 2009 (Carolina and Boston, goal by Scott Walker).

Just in case, the last time that a defenseman scored a Game 7 OT goal was in 2001 (Darius Kasparaitis, Pittsburgh v. Buffalo)

No Game 7 OT goal has ever been scored shorthanded. The last power play goal was in 2004 (Martin Gelinas, Calgary v. Vancouver)

Game 7 OT goals have been scored in the first, second, and fourth OT periods. None has ever been scored in the third OT, or in the fifth or later.

Can't believe that warranted a whistle in a Game 7 playoff game. Not even sure that gets a whistle in a regular season game

Personally, I think the hit by Bolland to start the play would be substantially more likely to warrant a regular season whistle than the actual coincidental penalties.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Chicago wins. Kronwalled

[LetsGOJackets!!]

Thank God Chicago won that game

That was one of the worst calls that I can remember seeing in any sport. For the ref behind the play to call offsetting penalties negating a clear scoring opportunity was complete bs. No punches were being thrown.

Hate the Wings with a bloody passion.

The last four cup winners are the final four.

Anybody but LA.

 

[trickbabe]

Anybody but LA.

Yes, please. I'd have no problem with the Hawks knocking LA out as soon as possible.

I hope Jeff Carter sprains his cavernous lady parts and is unable to play.

Also,




**** you Jeff Carter.

Seconded, and seconded (thirded?)

Go Pens. I dislike all other teams around, but probably the least of which the Hawks...

1. Pittsburgh











2. Chicago

















3. Boston





4. LA Queens.

I believe that's called "doing a Foote".

Boy, I sure hope Rex Ryan doesn't read these boards.

I always thought labrums were lower and that only ladies had them. Learn something new everyday...
