Gotcha. 2 hits in a corner for Stalberg. A memo was definitely sent before the game. Brouwer also came out hitting, 8 for the game tying Bickell for game high.
From the second period on, this team exploded right out of the locker room.
And just yesterday evening I removed my Hawks wallpaper that I had all season on my computer thinking the season is all but done. Great to see them not going down without a proper fight, and proving we are still able to beat them. Now let's get the next game!
I hope most Canuck fans aren't blaming Luongo, pretty far from being his fault. He played just fine in this game.
The defense was...brutal. And don't get me started on the Sedins. I don't know if it was because Bolland was in the line-up or their mom sent an extra-helping of Swedish Meatballs over last night, but they were useless.
Anyways, on to game 5. Think most Canucks fans would have been thrilled to be up 3-1 at any point in the series a week ago.

This happens when the Hawks play with effort and play their game...
Don't expect more from the Twins. They suck in the POs because they aren't willing to give everything and a little more. They are RS guys that will spin here and make a pretty pass there.
Your biggest Problem is Kesler. No, not that he doesn't play good. The Problem is Kesler has to play a role that he shouldn't have. Malhotra should be your shut down Center. this would allow Kesler to play more time in the Offense. You really miss Manny.
I'm sorry to say that to you and this has nothing to do with my hate on your Team... The Wings are the Team to beat this year in the West. They have the best player on the world right now (with Crosby out). They have the best shutdown Center in the World today and a Top5 Defender of the NHL.
And then there is Franzen, Cleary, Bertuzzi, Hudler and guys like Helm. No word about their D yet. Only Howard is a question mark and will remain.
Was out with friends at a bar last night watching this. Was hearing about it when I walked in with my Keith jersey at first. People changed their tune pretty quick. What energy! Great game all around. Looking forward to Thursday!!!
I was very much against dressing Bolland at all this year, but WOW. He resumed where he left off in last years playoffs. I hope Seabrook can get back for game 5. If we can get the Canucks running around like they did in the 3rd period last night, and keep out of the box ourselves, we can extend this series.
Actually I believe they can win this series. It will probably take Toews and Hossa to come alive and Crawford to steal a game if necessary, but lets not get ahead of ourselves. Right now the goal is to win the first period of game 5.
