Not me. The Hawks have scored 3 legitimate goals in 13 periods.
Looks bleak.

Hawks got worked over big time last night. Every phase of their
game(excepting Crawford) was decidedly sub-par. Hawks were
out-hustled and out-muscled in game three. Hawks won't win the
physical match up with B's, but they can step up the pursuit of
the loose puck and put pucks on the net like they did in period
1 of game two.

When a goalie is unconscious like Rask is, sometimes you can
substantially outplay the other team and still lose. When
you're being outplayed, that's a highly dangerous combination.

Rask hasn't had to make a tough save in five periods. Maybe if
he were tested he'd allow a goal.

IMHO.Rask has been on fire for some time, agreed. Crawford has
been equally powerful for quite a while.I think Rask is very
quick moving side to side maybe roofin the puck stick side is
the play for score or rebound opportunity. Crawford a bit
vulnerable glove side.

As Chris said, Rask is good, but he hasn't really been tested --
even with the barrage in the 1st period of game 2, there weren't
that many super high-quality chances.
If old man Scottie Bowman has any magic ideas, might be a good
time for Q to ask him to step up to the white board and diagram
something for the powerplay.

Yeah, that .946 postseason save % is definitely meaningless.

Committed Indian is a good Blackhawks' blog (in a
(we-want-to-be-like-grantland-or-deadspin kind of way) and the
analysis of last night was interesting. I do agree that Q did
not respond well to Hossa being out. By putting Krueger and
Frolik with Toews, he made sure Boston didn't need to pay
attention to that line as a scoring line, and Bergeren (sp?)
could focus on Kane and Sharp.

With Hossa tomorrow, first 2 lines really should be something
like 29/19/88 and 10/26/81. Make Boston defend 2 lines. If Hossa
can't go, I'd think about going all in on speed, and putting
stalberg on line 1 with 19 and 29, and 88 joins 26 and 10. or
keep kane with toews and bickell, and have stalberg opposite
sharp

I'm still trying to figure out how a show featuring Stephen A.
Smith and Skip Bayless can draw enough viewers to stay on the
air.
