These Hawks have shown they play their best when their backs are against the wall. Regrettably they have yet another opportunity to live up to that reputation.

Having said all that, I think this team thrives on having their backs against the wall. I expect tomorrow's 19 shot period effort to result in 3 goals. (That was the killer last night. Only getting 1 in the first.)

I found this to be of some comfort; perhaps you will too:

Steve Rosenbloom of the Chicago Tribune said:
The Hawks have been down two games to one in five previous series in the last three years, and have come back to win four of them.

In addition to beating the Ducks in this year's Western Conference finals, the Hawks came back on the Blues in 2014 and the Red Wings and Bruins in 2013.

The only series in which they failed to come back from that deficit was last year's Western Conference finals against the Kings.

The Hawks have been down after three games in half of their previous 10 series. It's pretty much the house special.

So is learning how to impose their game on opponents as a series progresses.

Under Quenneville, the Hawks are 40-14 in Games 4-7, 22-6 since the start of the 2013 playoffs. In Games 5-7 since 2009, the Hawks are 27-8, 13-3 since the start of the 2013 postseason.

Wouldn't know, that wasn't the feeling tonight.

Have my doubts about the nature and extent of the "injury." The Bolts are playing the mind game on this pretty well, aided and abetted by non-stop NBC commentary indicating he's all but crippled. But to my eye Bishop actually got a little stronger as the game went on.

Bishop out tonight. Vasy and Gudlevskis for the Bolts in game 4. Vasy will start.

Bishop "day to day with undisclosed injury."

Jim Cornelison with better voice tonight. Let's hope that is an good omen.

Hawks look like ****. Smokin a bong pre-game bad.

I see a 6 save shutout in his future.

Yes, TB is playing great D, keeping everything to the outside. But for the love of god shoot the puck from there at least occasionally! That delayed penalty was the perfect example. Saad and Keith could've both ripped one from a decent angle, but they try forcing it inside.

Keith Jones is right. Put the lines back. That period was a hot mess.
 
Re: NHL 2015, Part 3: Stanley Cup and Offseason

19 shots Monday. 2 shots tonight. Yikes.

I was just about to say the Hawks couldn't hit water if they fell out of a boat........

Never mind! :rolleyes:
