Around the NHL: Congrats Hawks on winning the STANLEY CUP

Dat pace of the game

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Where would you guys rank Crawford in the league?

 

[Player big P]

At this point I'm starting to question whether Crawford even actually has a glove hand at all.

 

[Jabroni]

Lucic looks bad. Is he injured?

 

[z1co80]

Lucic has been awful tonight, how does he not spring Horton.

He makes a lot of dumb decisions

 

[Kakko]

Lucic looks bad. Is he injured?

He's been bad all year. Even a healthy scratch at one point. 6mil

 

[trilobyte]

Lucic had a couple of noticeably bad stretches in earlier series too, if I remember correctly. When he came on like he can (game 7 against the Leafs) he was a prime reason they won.
He does not look like he is playing at full power.

 

[The Gloaming]

Looks like I was missing a good game! Hopefully the NBC Sports Extra app can hold up through OT. Stupid Cablevision.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

This is honestly what I expected when these two teams met in the finals. Both of these goalies are only as good as the team they play for. Imo, they are behind Hank (obviously), Quick, Howard and Niemi.

Crawford being exploited

 

[trilobyte]

This series is helping me in seeing different facets of Crawford. With rumblings of him possibly being at Sochi for Team Canada, it's good to have an understanding. Of course, Canada does not have overpoweringly great choices for goaltending (Brodeur back? Hope not. Cam Ward).
With players in front clearing his rebounds, it can still work. To be honest, I doubt he has ever allowed so many easy, clean goals as tonight.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

I allow less clean goals than that probably not, but still

 

[trilobyte]

This is it. Crazy OT hockey again

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

the first OT was 3OT tied 3-3

second was 1 OT tied 1-1

This one... 5OT, 5-5....

 

[trilobyte]

Bruins invented and patented the faceoff win.

 

[RangersFan]

damn...

 

[Kakko]

Yes!!!!!!!

 

[JohnC]

Woooo!

 

[trilobyte]

Nice blast by Seabrook. Blackhawks had to have it, they must feel like 'whew..."

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

4 games.. 2-2 series. 3 Overtimes. crazy.

 

[trilobyte]

Pretty hard to fault Rask at all on that one, how would he even see it?

Edit: maybe he saw it, anyway, really nice shot

 

[Callagraves]

What a game

 

[Jabroni]

Still pulling for the Bruins.

He saw it the whole way lol.. Like I said, I think both of these goalies are above average

I had the timing a bit wrong. Rask was struggling to see where the puck was, but that was a wee bit earlier. He did have a decent look.

Great, entertaining game, for sure.
