Around the NHL: Bylsma extended 2 years

[wolfgaze]

OMG who's wathcing the Sutter interview on NHL Network? Some reporter just asked him to comment on what got Patrick Kane going the last few games? Does that idiot even know which team Sutter coaches????

This.

I actually ****ing dreaded the Bruins earlier this year, but they've played very clean, exciting and respectful hockey this postseason.

 

[Kwayry]

Interesting final.
Kings were more physical but the Hawks closed them out with skill and speed. interesting how they measure up against the Bruins.

 

[Kershaw]

Hawks in 7

 

[mike14]

Hawks in 5.

I like both teams so just want an exciting series

 

[Kwayry]

Hawks in 6.
The Bruins have been on a streak since the 3rd period against the Leafs. 9 and 1 since then, can they continue? I don't think so.
Hawks have too much skill up front and they can also roll 4 lines, which was a key Bruins advantage up to this point.
We will also see if Bickell's bubble is burst.

 

[wolfgaze]

I'm definitely rooting for the Hawks. They have a fun team to watch and there is nothing about the team/organization that would make me want to root against them. They dominated the regular season and I would like to see them cap off their impressive season with the cup.

When is Game 1?

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

Dislike Boston fans and Hawks fans.

When it comes to teams, though, i'm all about the Hawks. Patty Kane is obnoxious but Toews and Hossa are the ****.

 

[Holocene]

Love the Hawks and want them to win but I like the Bruins too and wouldn't care too much if they won. This will be a very enjoyable final for me.

When is Game 1?

game 1 wed, game 2 sat.

Why, after all the back-to-backs and 3-games-in-4-days, are they having a 3 day break followed by a 2 day break?

one of Michal Rozsival or Wade Redden is going to raise the Stanley Cup. how do you all feel about that?

I would be happy for Roszival and Redden won't even see the ice unless players go down. He hasn't dressed for a game since the Toronto series.

he'll still get to see the Cup, though. might not get his name on it, but he'll still get to see it.

but i agree on the bit about Rozsy. i gave the guy a lot of crap while he was here, but he's playing ideal minutes for a paycheck he deserves and he's making it count.

Patty Kane will get the dagger.

Look, I even called the celebration. I'm a young Nostradamus.

 

[The Gloaming]

Kane is awesome. Really funny when people hate the guy.

Hawks in 6.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

If Chicago wins the Stanley Cup, that means the Rangers will have won the fewest Cups of any Original 6 franchise.

 

[MrEctions]

Watching that series winner I cant help but notice how far Quick is cheating to Toews side on that. There is no way Kane should have that much net open from that side. Once again Quick shows his poor positioning.

 

[MrEctions]

At first i was like why the hell did Toews pass so early, then i saw how far Quick came out, good god.

Exactly, how do people say with a straight face that hes better than Hank, it blows my mind.

 

[Fitzy]

Kane is awesome. Really funny when people hate the guy.

People don't hate him because they think he is a poor hockey player...

 

[Bluenote13]

Quick reminds me of Richter in alot of ways, a guy who also was notorious for cheating towards the puck side when faced with 2 on 1's. Game 1 of 1994 finals vs Vancouver in OT comes to mind.

Love the original 6 matchup, they've never met in the finals either. NHL didn't deserve this after the way they treated the fans, but at least hockey fans are getting some really fun games to watch. Hawks have always been a fave of mine, my Dad's fave player was Makita, and I loved the 1984-1994 Hawks, so many great players. Plus Quennville has always been one of my fave coaches. Hoping they take it in 7.

Hawks in 7 hard fought games.
