When I look at the bookmakers, the only 3 real candidates for the Conn Smythe Trophy are Kopitar, Lundqvist and Carter in that order. Keeping in mind that most of the times a player from the Stanley Cup winner takes this trophy, I think it's going to be Kopitar.
@Hockey Junkie But on the other hand, you have 20,000 people shouting the puck into the goal. And than there's the momentum, wich is very important imo, getting two straight wins really boosts the moral to make it a three in a row. We'll see, it's going to be tight, that's for sure!
Hawks will be super motivated to finish this series at home. Every bit of momentum is on their side, but you never know with the Kings. Big games against Ducks and Sharks.
Hawks gain a little momentum back in game 5, so I'm hoping they could take advantage in the first period. If they can go back to the dressing room with a lead after 20 mins, I don't see them giving it away.
Habs simply weren't good enough. Only 18 shots on goal in a game they must win, that's just not good enough. Great goaltending by both Tokarski and Lundy!
Crazy game last night! Hawks started furiously, but the Kings reacted before they even noticed. I expected Toews to step up for this one, but it was Kane instead. Glad to see him shine after a few weaker games.
