Don't think the Blackhawks will bounce back, it's gonna be Rangers vs Kings in the finals. Great series though.

Fingers crossed for tonight's game. Don't have too much confidence in the Blackhawks right now. Hopefully they prove me wrong.

WTG, Rags!

C'mon 'Hawks... one more win so that series can go seven.

One of my kids is a Rangers fan despite all the Capitals this and that I threw at him (but he did get a Kuznetsov jersey). Notice the Rangers socks.

At least we're in NY and he has an excuse. So THIS is what it feels like to have a team with success. It's been a while... you know, since "we" made it to the finals and promptly got swept by the Wings.

It's pretty fun cheering for your kids' fav team too.

 

[njdevilsfan87]

Tell your kid I wish his team to get swept in the finals. ^_^ :biggrin:

I really wanted a Doughty vs. Subban grudge match.

I hope Chicago can get the kings figured out like they did before this playoff series. Think they said they won like 6 straight against them? I'd settle for 3 right now .

Either way, this is a great series. There is really no stupid crap taking place, just great hockey.

LA needs to finish this off.

If Hawks win and go home for game 7 i do not like the odds.

Hawks won't be losing a game 7 at home :thumbsup:

Amazing game! Patrick Kane is the most clutch player in the NHL, bar none.

I'm really beginning to believe Crawford feeds on the "CRAAAAAWFORD" chants. Thanks, Kings fans in attendance!

I'm tempted to buy tickets for Game 7 in Chicago but they probably cost a small fortune. C'mon Hawks...beat LA one more time!

choke, looks like playing the sharks rubbed off on the kings

He seemed to feed off the chants last year. The hawks are a different team when shaw is in the lineup. The saad, Kane, and shaw line has been tearing it up. I foresee the kings putting doughty on the ice against them and allowing toews, bickle, and hossa the put some points up in game seven. Patrick Sharp is also due. He skated much better last game but still no points. Hope he gets a hat trick...

Also does anyone else think that kopitar on the kings is Aaron Rodgers moonlighting as a hockey player?

Aaron Rodgers looks like a combination of a 70's pornstar and a truck driver when he grows facial hair (as shown a few seasons back) so no. Kopitar doesn't look anything like that during the playoffs.

Stubhub has the cheapest tickets starting at 294...for standing room only. Seats start at 364 for 300 level, probably upper rows.

100 level, row 19 is at a 1000.

For perspective, I went to the game against Buffalo earlier in the season and sat one row off the ice for 250 a pop, which was face value.

Hawks playoff games are astronomical in terms of prices.

Trust me, I know. Even during the regular season, the cheapest I could get 300-level seats for was around $100 each on StubHub (and they're nearly impossible to buy through Ticketmaster at face value when they go on sale, selling out instantly). It's part of the reason my buddy and I wound up trekking to Minnesota for one of the playoff games there.

It was $600 for my ticket to game 6 for the Habs/Rangers in section 209. Sometimes you can wait to a few hours before the game and save a few $hundred and getting one ticket is cheaper than getting two or more.

2 so far

 

[MartyMcFly3]

Hell of a game so far. Hell of a series. C'mon Hawks!!!

 

[n7]

This is the best series of a really long time.

I don't remember the last time there was such an epic battle. Nothing these playoffs, for sure.

 

[dbk]

Blackhawks lost a game 7 at home?!?!

 

[n7]

THEY DID IT!!!!!

This was essentially the Cup final, and the Kings won it.

 

[Sheep]

God. Dammit.

Props to the Kings. They played a great game, as did the Blackhawks and it went their way.

 

[TROLLERCAUST]

Wow just wow! Epic game and series. :thumbsup:

 

[VulgarDisplay]

The hawks really need to bigger guys on defense they can't keep the front of the net clear to save their lives.
