Go Hawks.

I hate the Bruins as a Leafs fan and can't consciously cheer for a team with Brad Marchand on it, the guy is scumfucker. I don't mind most guys that play that type of game because when they take things too far, someone will often challenge them to a fight and that will settle things down for a bit. Marchand refuses to fight in most cases and I've seen him pull a guy in for a fight, have the other guy drop his gloves and skate away.

I am honestly shocked at how well the Bruins are doing considering their struggles against the Leafs (almost lost game 7 after letting Leafs tie series 3-3 after being down 3-1). I thought the Leafs would end up being one of the weaker teams Boston faced, but after a couple hiccups against us, they basically steamrolled the other two series before the finals.

Hoping for a Chicago series win, but it's looking doubtfull.

Hossa\s injury is probably something that really hinders performance, otherwise he'd be playing since it's the finals. If you are a first liner and injured and can't play like a first liner (ie. wrist/arm injuries can hamper puck control), there's almost no point playing. Playing a guy on hte first or second line whose injuries make him more of a 4th liner, your going to fuck yourself over.

If they won last game and he sat out, he can sit out game 4. Losing game 3 may force him into game 4 either way as it is by far the most important game in the series. It's either going to be a tied series, or a near impossible to come back from 3-1 series lead for Boston. If I am Hawks management and Hossa is injured, I want him to rest through game three so he can come into game four with as much energy as possible because they are going to need all the help they can get to make this a tied series. I didn't see it, but Hossa was apparently hit by one of his own players in warm up. Hawks coach said his injury wasn't from that, but analysts speculated that it was.

Bruins have been pretty aggressive on the PP which is helping disrupt the Hawks, but the Hawks are passign way too much. I could not believe how many times they failed to register a shot on the PP. They need to get big bodies to the net, take point shots and look for rebounds.

That was not the game I was expecting lol. 6-5 Chicago in overtime, after the first 3 games it's hard to imagine game four would be a shooting gallery. Glad the Hawks won, not only because I'm slighlty cheering for them, but also because it makes the series way more exciting/tense imo. At 2-2 almost every game has a do or die mentality for both sides, at 3-1, the winning team has a massive advantage in winning the series and usually do.
