Kesler on wearing down Chicago: ‘No human can withstand that many hits’

[ML Dog]

What about betting on it?

Any of you doing any of that?

 

[slapshot]

OT probably again

OT probably again

Thus have I fallen in lust with ANA+1.5 but man is it expensive, ain't even gonna type that obscene number here cuz no point...

rundblad in and timonen out tonight, supposedly. timonen was pretty
useless, but he is experienced. rundblad was a big minus # for the
year and is young (but fresh). not sure if this is good or bad for the hawks.
i would expect coach q to spot him against 3rd + 4th line players in
the offensive zone to protect him.

 

[RenoChazz]

I'll be watching. I bet the Ducks +134.

[HarryCaray]

Yes I am a homer, so take this with a grain of salt...but I think betting against the Blackhawks here is absolutely insane.

I also like 1p o1.5 +110, FWIW

 

[ML Dog]

Looks like more than just a rumor, Tree Sloth with his face painted Eyes Blacked for intimidation, if Quenneville wasn't gonna start The Tree Sloth over Timonen why would his face be painted up like that?

If Hawks were trying to keep this substitution secret they failed.

 

[RenoChazz]

Call me crazy, but the dogs have been money on both conference finals.

the 1st period of game 1 and much of the first period of game 4 are the only times
the hawks have controlled play for any extended period of time. on the other
hand had outplayed the rangers more than not before game 6 last night and
that didn't work out well.

but laying the price on the hawks tonight with the way they have played so far, been
pushed around, and overused their top 4 men is REALLY INSANE. maybe harry
and i are watching different games.

Or maybe you're in socal and I'm in Chicago.

Either way, BOL in all your other wagers. I just think it's insane to go against the experience of the Hawks in this spot.

Another great game .... Keith 3 assists

 

[Akillies]

much like the rangers, the hawks are a tuff out

 

[niltes]

ducks played tenative as if trying not to lose rather than trying to win.
hawks dominant in the face off circle and held their own in hits and blocked
shots. i suspect the ducks will come out ultra agrressive saturday night.
extra day off will help the hawks rest.

 

[RenoChazz]

Nice win by the Hawks. Ducks are in trouble.

 

[HarryCaray]

Kesler's quote about no human being withstanding this many hits is kind of funny. He apparently doesn't know Duncan Keith is a cyborg. Seriously.

He played over 40 minutes in game 4 (for the second time this series) and I swear he looked just as fresh in double OT as he did in the first period.

The cyborg gets it done in game 6. He played a helluva game.

Glad Q went back to Toews/Kane together. Hopefully that will be the difference in game 7.

Enjoy fellas. Great series.

Don't know if I'd go that far, but Chicago has played very well the past 5 periods. Can only expect A+ effort from both teams in game 7.

 

[slapshot]

Both series have been good Hawks having to win 2 in Anaheim was realistic in the series but the Lightning winning 3 in MSG that's another thing altogether

 

[niltes]

if the ducks come out as aggressively as i suspect, game 7 sets up
as a nice over bet.
