Obviously not, because the Kings are squeaky clean little choirboys, and the Blackhawks are the big mean bad men who got into the western conference finals by cheating the Red Wings out of it... by forcing Quincey to cheap-shot Saad and then force the ref to make a shitty call.

Or something like that.

Hawks definitely need to watch out for Krejci and Bergeron. Not to mention Chara...he's just massive.

Scoring on Rask won't be a walk in the park either.

Hawks can't be losing leads like they did tonight tho, its exciting but when you're playing for the cup it's too scary

Yeah, this game should've been over an hour earlier than it was. Crawford needs to stop letting in soft goals...he can't do that as a playoff goalie. Though, is Coach Q even considering putting Emery in at all, or is he permanent backup? Or is he still injured?

I almost hope they do, a game 7 final for the Cup would be amazing. I dunno if I can take it though, I almost stroked out after they tied it in the 3rd.

Certainly, but there are degrees of cheap shots. The sad part, is that Chicago didn't even need the cheap shots to win, we sucked. Still, I'd like to see Shaw take a cheap shot on Chara :lol2:

Nope. Hockey's hockey though, and if you don't need cheap shots to win, why embarrass yourselves?

Embarass nothing, wins a win, it's Hawks vs Bruins. An Original Six Stanley Cup finals.

Can it get more awesome? Only if it's a slugfest all the way to game 7.
