i was looking for the game cuz i prefer the doc emrick commentary over great save luongo jim hughson but instead it wsa some chicago fire or ish.

nbc is a joke

the first game pulled a 6.0 in ratings and then on a saturday night when nothing really is on you toss it in nbcsn?

can you imagine the abc putting liek game 2 of the finals on espn?

Since FOX got the TV rights for the NHL in 95, both the network TV and cable TV rights holder have shared Cup Final games. Back in TV rights negotiations in 98, FOX offered an FOX/FX deal where all 7 games of the Cup Final on FOX. Bettman, greedy dumbass decided the take the ABC/ESPN because they asked for more money, ESPN got 1-2 of Cup Finals and ABC got the rest. So yea, blame this on Bettman :upsetfavre:

What a joke for NBC not to air that game on a Saturday night no less.

They clearly arent destroying them and didnt play great last night but IMO they should have been up 2-0 going to Boston and them not is them beating themselves moreso than Boston beating them...Rask was good but they got hosed on the second goal and they made a couple big gaffs in there own end which gave away that second game...Its funny how the narrative is right now as opposed to what it would be if they were up 2-0 going into last nights game...

The Bruins could easily be up 3-0 if they didn't brainfart a 3-1 lead in the first game.

This series is not over, but again, you are clearly underestimating how good this Bruins team is.:patrice:

Nah theyre a good team theyre just not great...and there goaltending has them from being down 2-1 right now...they were lucky to gain a split in CHI and they obviously were the far better team yesterday...Nothing about this team is great tho outside of Rask whos been really good in this series...

There D showed alot of holes in the first two games and they rely way too much on point shots thru crowds and lucky bounces and deflections...

Its not like they have outplayed Chicago in this series,also cant underestimate how much of an idiot Quenneville is behind the bench either...

Rask?:stopitslime:

Breh, the Bruins are a great defensive team and make it easy on him by clogging up shooting lanes. The Hawks can't even get a decent shot on their PP. Crawford has had to make much more difficult saves on his end.

You gotta be a Hawks fan or a scorned Penguins fan :shaq:

Crawford had to make more difficult saves in the first two games is false...Hawks PP problems is alot more than Bruins blocking shots...

For starters that idiot coach doesnt even get the right people on the PP...
