If Bergeron is out, you guys are in trouble. will come down to whether being eliminated or winning the cup is the bigger motivation. Provided neither goalie shits the bed.

NHL Playoffs |OT2| stay salty, my friends

Is it unreasonable to expect a goalie to have a harder time on the road than at home? In Game SIx? Of the Stanley Cup Finals? In an elimination game?
Crawford had it relatively easy last game, I don't expect it to come any easier tomorrow night.

You seem to not give the mental toughness of the goalie position enough credit. This isn't Luongo we have in net.
The Hawks are for real unlike those radio guys. They just cover the field with their opinions and when something sticks they jump on it like they found Jimmy Hoffa's grave.
I work at a screen printing shop and we have Stanley Cup t-shirt orders waiting on the outcome of this series for two weeks.
He may not have the psyche of Lou but that shaky glove hand could rear its ugly head again.
I'll take a shaky glove hand and a road win any day over a goalie letting in 6 and losing at home.

Hawks know they can score on Rask now. This isn't Game 3.
Crawford also has a better defense in front of him than Luongo did in the Cup Finals.

You know, there has been almost no salt between fanbases for this series. New NHL-GAF record? :lol
I'd argue last year's series had even less salt... Because nobody cared.

No Bergeron for morning skate, Soderberg centering Marchand and Jagr.

Yeah. It's really hot in Boston today. Probably not a good sign.
Around 80F already on the coast. Always warmer in the city. Suppose to get up around 90+ today. Watching all those bouncing pucks today are gonna be great. TD Garden doesn't have a dehumidifier or whatever it's called either, heard they gotta bring in portable ones for these days.

They waited a week to start the conference finals; should've saw this coming
Good news is Julien said he's confident Bergeron will play. He'll skate in the warmups.
Bad news is they haven't disclosed what happened to him...
Why would they disclose what his injury is before an elimination game in the SCF?

Bergeron will play. Toews will play.
Not surprised.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
As it should be. Anything else would be unjust.

You can only do so much in late June.
Dallas has shitty ice year-round, I think. The best is in Edmonton. The outdoor climate has a huge impact.
I remember shitty ice during the Nashville series 2 years ago too, and it wasn't that late into summer. But... Nashville.

Tampa basically has this problem year-round. And it's not even really the temperature that causes the problems, but the humidity.

Kane or Crawford, I would think.

How pathetic. That channel doesn't even have an HD feed

Crawford is way more deserving than Kane right now. Sharp and Keith should be up there for consideration too.
I'm not surprised that something involving gunpowder is a higher priority in Detroit.

Then again it would be nice to see the Hawks lift the cup in their home jersey for a change.
It looked just fine when they lifted it in the white jerseys in 2010. I would have zero problems with this happening again.

@GlobeFluto: No helmets for Lucic, Thornton. Have worn helmets all year in warmups per team rules.

@HackswithHaggs: Jordan Caron & Milan Lucic collided & knocked each other down during pregame warm-ups. Worked out okay for No. 17 & B's in Gm 3 #BruinsTalk
Weird tweets pregame.
