So... Andrew Shaw is being crucified in the media today... People need to just calm the fuk down over stuff like this. And I'm a Red Wings fan. I hate Shaw. But the man was in the heat of the moment playing his sport with passion. Shit happens, and words get said. Get over it.

He said what exactly?? I can't find any report that isn't scared to actually detail what he said... I'm assuming 'fag" is the word gone wrong...??

It's 2016, you're going to get killed for that, right or wrong... I will say this, All I'm seeing is 'homophobic' this and 'homophobic' that in the headlines and comments... I do roll my eyes at that... maybe he isn't PC and used a word that is outdated to many others, and it's simple as that???... but let's jump straight to "He hates gays"...

He got sent to the box. Sat down. Tapped his stick on the glass 3 times. And then said " Wrong Call, Fukin Faggot." I believe he was directing the comment toward one of the refs. Meanwhile, its game 4, Hawks are at home, down by 1 goal, with 2 mins left in the 3rd. If they lose, which they did, they go down in the series 3 to 1. There was a lot on the line there.

He's a human being. He's clearly a very emotional, passionate athlete thats dedicated to his trade. He's not a politician. Ppl need to get over themselves.

Shaw , Crawford and the Refhawks in general are over. The NHL's darling cannot beat the blues no matter how crooked and despicable their behavior.

That's more like it! Keep it coming!

Exactly. Wasn't Josh Norman calling Odell Beckham a fag all game during their scuffle fest? This seems more like the NHL trying to get attention/publicity than sending a message to Shaw.

Idk enough about the Norman/Beckham thing but Shaw was busted on national tv saying it plus to a ref didn't help things. And who cares about the nfl here. I don't get why that matters.

I was just comparing how another sport of equal competitiveness and physicality handled the situation, or didn't for that matter.

And then there was this other team.........

The Fire? I'd say their MLS cup chances are up a pig's arse.

I think he meant the Chicago Sting soccer team, or possibly the Chicago Bruisers Arena team.

Welp.

At least this isn't a Flyers game. The players might all be dead by now.

[lcaps20]

Probably the last game played by Datsyuk, sucks he had to go out this way. Man, what a game by bishop. i hate the lightning

 

[Crazy Balki]

Like a f*cking broken record...

This is the 5th game in a row where the Hawks outplay St Louis only to collapse in the 3rd period. Did somebody tell them the game is 40 minutes long? It'll be a frustrating way to go out to say the least.

When will Hawks fans catch a break? Feel awful for you guys

My point still stands, because there was absolutely no reason this game should've gone to OT. That being said, WHERE HAS PATRICK KANE BEEN ALL SERIES!!? Finally!

 

[IrishSteelhead]

What do the Hawks say to the Gods of Death??????


NOT TODAY......

 

[IrishLax]

See what happens when you play real hockey? You can luck into wins. Props to Philly for showing just a little bit of professionalism after embarrassing themselves with their antics the first 3 games.

We've had the Penguins number the last few playoffs and I don't see this year being any different. This Rangers nucleus has serious deep playoff experience and they know they can come down from any deficit. I don't see the Rangers losing a fourth game.

 

[Crazy Balki]

We now have ourselves an ole' fashion Midwest winner-take-all deathmatch scheduled.

Ken Hitchcock is such a terrible coach. Tarasenko doesn't even play 17 minutes. Oy

He may have bigger problems than Tarasenko in Game 7. He couldn't take advantage of the Crow injury, and the Hawks seemed to have figured out Elliott. He was suffocating the Hawks attack in games 1-4, but in the last 2 games, this one in particular, the Hawks have had his number.

Q also seems to have found a lineup that works. Shaw, Kane and Toews on that top line is relentless. Shawitzer is a high energy, disruptive winger that sets up top-level scorers like Kane and Toews nicely. Panarin and Anisimov are still chugging along, despite not having Kane, but I'd like to see more from Teuvo. He's been disappointing this year. And, dat 3rd line tho, Hossa looks like new on the 3rd line with Ladd and Kruger. No wonder Elliott struggled. Q knows his sh*t.

Blues still have to get this done.... Right? I mean they are way too good to go out early, what, five straight years??? Just crazy

I think them losing would be for the best. They need to get rid of Hitchcock finally.
