  • Yeah, the series has been close where a single call either way could have made a difference. The Hawks need to do better so it doesn't come down to that type of thing.
    It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

    • Agree.

      Also, if LA and Chicago both advance, the final four will be the last four Stanley Cup winners. I can't recall the last time that happened (if at all).

        I imagine it must have happened once or twice back in the Original Six days.

        • I imagine it must have happened once or twice back in the Original Six days.
          1945 was the only time it happened. Previous stanley cup winners, Boston, Toronto, Detroit, Montreal all made the playoffs in 1945. Toronto won the cup that year.

          I don't know if that counts as 'original six era'.

          1940-1
          1941-2
          ............ after this was Original Six era, since it includes two seasons where there were more than 6 teams.
          1942-3
          1943-4

          1944-5

            That was Richard's 50 in 50 year.

            • It was an interesting period in NHL history. From 1940-1945, all six original six teams made the NHL Stanley cup finals. From 1938 to 1945, if it wasn't for Boston's win in 1939, you would have had all six 'original six' teams win the stanley cup, in order in just seven years.

                  • LA advances

                    I hope to see the last four Cup winners be the final four... just seems interesting.

                      • No answer for Quick, who probably is the best big game goalie in the league. I thought we outplayed the Kings in the series, but couldn't steal a road win. Congrats Kings.

                        • Yeah, Quick won them the cup last year, and is why I'd rather face SJ - I don't think either team is as good on paper as the Hawks, but Quick is a factor I'd rather not run into. Oh well.

                            • Yes, yes, we have to beat Jimmy Howard. DET should consider letting him skate as an offensive player if they're down late - he's largely kept them in the game himself, might as well let him try to win it by scoring as well
