Official New York Rangers @ Chicago Blackhawks Game Thread

Game start at 7. Puck drop soon after.

Grab your beer, its time to get midweek drunk.

my body is ready. last money of the month on rags, lets go

I don't care

This isn't going to go well, is it?

>NBCSN

Fuck

at least Eddie is there

el rags es como perro caca

How will the Hawks fuck it up tonight

[ ] Poor offense
[ ] Piss poor power play
[ ]Tumbles
[ ] Seabrook/Keith forget how to play defense
[ ] Stupid penalties
[ ] Other

Cast your votes!

Yeah, but so is Pierre.

Can i only pick one or can i pick multiple?

Wooooooooooooooooo!

eddie looks like shit
his hair lookis thin as well

maybe some of the cancer will rub off

Multiples are allowed and encouraged.

[X] Piss poor power play
[X] Seabrook/Keith forget how to play defense
[X] Stupid penalties
[X] Other

Gonna hope against better judgment and say that the offense is going to start picking up. As for Crawford, the dude has been the only solid point in the Hawk's defense. Hope he keeps it up.

i hope there are og six memes in this game

in that case

>sparkling
Doc stop

FOR FUCKS SAKE HAWKS!

Wow, according to this thread, Blackhawks fans are ungrateful faggots and shit on the players that brought them multiple championships. but then again none of you were fans before 2010 so I'm really not surprised.

Henrik is king

kings typically wear rings

Chicagoans have a failure complex
success is some sort of bizarre concept they cant properly comprehend

...

>tfw don't live in Chicago

Looks like girlfriend's lover.

No city could have prepared for the coming of the Basketball god known as Michael Jordan and then his second coming in the form of Theo Epstein.

>referees in the stands
Hey Doc, kill yourself.

312 tonight

what r u niggaz imbibing?

>(((Schmaltz)))

Who is the best player on the Blackhawks this year so far? Kane? Anisimov? Crawford?

Milwaukee's Best Ice. Have college tomorrow so I can only get soft drunk tonight.

>soft drunk
that is all americans do

I guess Crawford. Despite his even record he's been a reason why they've stayed in games.

Fuck

I immediately withdraw that comment and fuck off Tumbles.

ZIMBADADGOD

Oh boy, here we go again.

and so it continues

zinbanajad is a little to brown if you ask me

Panik is having a great year.

As for the worst player on the Hawks this year so far...

Seabrook and Forsberg

he's got the talent of a swede and the intensity of am arab

Fucking Toews man
What a disappointing last few seasons

No it's seabrook.
It's straight up fucking seabrook.

They're in a really bad slump top to bottom. The fairweather fags don't know they were bottom feeders not that long ago

Much longer will he be a Blackhawk?

he's half persian not arab
he's also elite

NMC until 22
Contract expires 23-24 I think

right that's what i meant. although all the persians i know are lodu mouthed faggots that never stop talking shit.

till 2023.

>high sticking
id give sierra santos a high dicking if you kniw what i meam

how many persians do you know? I don't think I've ever talked to someone even remotely coming from that area.

Yanet Garcia > Sierra Santos

I'm too sober for this shit

More than I can count. I live in an area with a lot of rich middle eastern people. Even dated a Persian girl once.

Iranians are generally pretty cool. The guys talking shit are funny but it gets tiresome after awhile.

...

That half-assed elbow sums up Seabrooks effort as of late.

good period?

I don't know many middle easterners, but I know this Coptic Egyptian and holy shit he is such an arrogant cunt.

Blackhawks like to cramp up during the period.

Thought you had finally pulled the trigger and became a statistic.

>JR bashing the hawks

Feels bad. Time to drink the pain away

>why isnt Brendan Smith playing?

Because he was playing terribly

>Toews
Low effort

Smoothest passing from this line in quite some time.

Sorry boys needed a mid-day nap after my workout today. Ran a little long.

I'd ask what I missed but let me speculate:

>Blackhawks have been a shit show on offense
>Rangers have been shit on offense too, but clumsily managed to get a goal because Seabrook is a shit or it was on a Rag PP
>Probably had about 2 PP's now and neither produced anything

How'd I do?

Smaltz is playing like shit

You sure you haven't been watching the game?

to be fair the rangers had 3 PP in the first and got shut down on all of them. considering it's one of the best powerplays int he league right now I think you guys are overhyping your defensive problems.

just got back from classes. what'd i miss?

[DINK]

Now that was a loud fuckin DINK

We have a decent pk unit.
The problem is 5 on 5 its...less than stellar.

fuckin miller. SHOOT
is everyone in the /hoc/ general or something? or is it just a quiet wednesday?

Hawks fans are double fisting their booze.
Rags fans are...just not posting i guess.

Yes, I wasn't really paying attention in the first period but it does seem pretty bad. All these 2 on 1's. It looks too slow for this day and age in the nhl.

Rangerfans don't really have a presence on Sup Forums anymore.

/hoc/ is unmitigated cancer

The few of us there are keep fairly quiet about it, then a few loud shitposters show up when >we win

Who /cheapwinewednesday/ here

It's impossible to talk about the team in the general. All you get is 10 >rags posts

But then again it's pretty much impossible to talk about anything in the general that isn't some faggot finnish hockey player.

t. bitch boy who got >rags'd the fuck out

I usually get pretty obnoxious but the tone of the board really determines that, and I also just got here. But /Rags/ have been pretty mild-mannered so I'll just drink my beer over here and enjoy the game

You are right it is.
We lean much to heavily on keith and seabrook, and seabrook is declining in his play. Keith too to an extent.
And since we traded away hjalmerson and TVR we can only go with newer players, which shunts the pressure to.. keith and seabrook. It's a problem, and i'd be shocked if we get a playoff spot if this doesn't get sorted out somehow.

Tbh Rutta has been pretty solid, he's hungry and he lays down in front of shots

>All you get is 10 >rags posts
Substitute reddithawks and you're spot on

>t. bitch boy who got >rags'd the fuck out
lmao you loud talking nigger mouthed bitch boy.

Rutta has been...ok. But he has some goddamn big shoes to fill if he's gonna block shots.

The bottom 4-5 defense have each shown a decent amount of shine. The problem is no consistency and no chemistry just yet.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

DEBRINCAT

SCARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
THE CAT

the pads let him down

>lundy caca

Holy shit Kane

>Coach Q: "Okay listen Patrick, we're going to try something new this season. I think it's going to be really incredible."
>Kane: "Okay coach."
>Coach Q: "Okay, so you know how everyone's supposed to get the puck to you, because you're our star fucking player, right?"
>Kane: "Yeah!"
>Coach Q: "Yeah, whenever you get the puck, immediately dump it off to a rookie defenseman."
>Kane: "Hot potato with the puck, got it!"
>Coach Q: "And you remember how you used to make plays out of nothing and score?"
>Kane: "Shit yeah I rock!"
>Coach Q: "Yeah, this season, if you ever EVER find yourself in a situation where you can whip out your testicles and charge the net for the shot on goal like the incredible athlete you are, I want you to just sit there with the puck."
Kane: "Just sit there?"
Coach Q: "Literally do jack shit. Imagine something useful, then do the opposite."
Kane: "Got it! Thanks coach!"
Coach Q: "Oh and if you're ever in doubt, do a blind backwards pass to no one and have the puck turned over."
Kane: "Okay"
Coach Q: "Alright, get out there kid!"

Well shit

You are right, but the issue is time.
The sooner they get on the same page, the better.
Too much time goes by and it's a slog up the ladder to a playoff spot. That's what i'm most concerned about.
