TODAYS GAME DAY THREAD IS:



Alice Cooper and Emma Stone Approved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AP]

Let's end the series in 5 Coyotes. 60 minutes of hockey!!!

[naurutger]

Just another 5 over time game with mike smith hitting the game winner because he was bored blocking shots for five hours

[Dudehama]

I'm going to watch Zombieland tonight in honor of the Coyotes!

[TheMurdocktor]

This is no time to look ahead. Being up 3-1 means jack squat. 60 minutes of Hockey The Hard Way.

[Muppet]

I hope we're all prepared for our first playoff series victory. I'm going to predict the 'Yotes come out firing to finish it off at home, and we'll get there with a regulation win. Amazing, I know.

[PhXcoyotes]

Who gets the OT winner?

Crawford.

[SweYote]

Heard they might go with Emery. Yes, please.

[Scottrocks58*]

Smith gets series MVP for sure - my unofficial, not sponsored by the NHL or any beer company, personal award.

I'll take a Game 5 OT win if that's what it takes to win game 5.

[Scottrocks58*]

Somebody on Twitter printed up and is handing out Torres masks tomorrow. I'm in for one if I can find the guy.

[OEL]

I still don't like our chances. That tends to be a good omen.

[doaner]

Maybe mix it up and win in regulation!

[Llewzaher]

Come on Yotes ! I have been through tons of disappointing playoff losses . 3/ 3-1 blown series leads .. I don't want to have to go through that again

Heres to hoping they play like they did in game one . Full on physical punishing checks , relentless forechecking .

Also hoping we get at least one of Korpi or Hanzal back

[BigGumby]

Gotta love Emma

Oooohhh, did they mention where they were going to be?

[naurutger]

Going to have a monkey on my back tomorrow, hopefully some one can get it off

Agreed. The Hawks are going to come out fighting for their lives.

I think this will be a case where it will be great to have Doan as captain, since he's been on teams that squandered a 3-1 lead, and will know you can't let up.

[Carolinas Identity]

Best of luck guys, send the 'Hawks out to the golf course with the Wings

[awfulwaffle*]

Let's take care of business and win it at home, and rest up for the 2nd round!

By the way AP, it's on regular FSN-AZ, not plus tomorrow. Just a heads up so those of us here aren't looking at the wrong place. I'm sure it would be figured out, but just saying.

[rt]

I want this so bad.

Not a good sign.

[AP]

What can we do to make this thread as anti-jinx as possible?

[AP]

I know!! The Chicago Blackhawks are the greatest of the Original Six Teams. Bobby Hall got nothing on JR.

[Mossy]

3-1 Yotes.

[Shepard]

Continue to be optimistic and speculate on who we'll play in the next round.

Seriously, the Hawks are gonna come back and win the next three if you guys don't cool it!
