I don't follow hockey in the least... but how come giving up two goals in seventeen seconds isn't being talked about as a choke job of Bucknerian proportions?
 
Was a gut punching loss for the B's, but Chicago was a great team. What a series. I found it difficult to manufacture any hatred for the Blackhawks during the series, in my mind, that says a lot. Hawks play the game hard and they play it right. Congrats!

I agree from the other side as well. I have a teeming hatred for the Canucks and how they always try to play the Hawks, and also for the Flyers from 2010. I have a great deal of respect for how well and how hard the Bruins played the entire series. It was good for hockey, period.

Congrats. Hawks deserved to win. They played a better series.

Enjoy

It's still surreal, as I'm sure it is for Bs fans as well. I had the numbers dialed to get tickets for Wednesday night... insane.
 
yeah... I'm with geoffm33... I kept wanting to hate the Blackhawks but just couldn't really get myself to that point. And yes, the effin Canucks are universally hated. I wished horrible, horrible things on that team that I'm ashamed of now. I HATED everything about their game.

Hawks played an up-tempo but still physical game against the B's and... whatta ya gonna do... they won. They deserved it.

The B's play a bit of a rope-a-dope game and then all of a sudden just smother you until the puck goes in. They fell one game and a few minutes short.

there... you have your "atta-boys"... now GTFO. :mug:

Because 17 seconds can be an eternity in hockey.

That said, they pooped in da bed Monday. That stuff shouldn't happen.

Bird - what do you think about the C's trade?

Prolly not a bad move - they weren't gonna win in the next couple years with this team anyways (with the Heat, OKC, etc. younger and better). So, cut some cap space, load up on 1st rounders and either draft smart, or use them to trade for a couple big pieces in a couple years?
 
Absolutely love the trade. They unloaded the core of a .500 ballclub (KG, Pierce, and Doc Rivers) in exchange for four first round draft picks and the right to swap picks with the Nyets in 2017. The guys they brought back in don't even matter; Gerald Wallace is massively overpaid, but I'd rather overpay him for three years than Jason Terry for the next two. They've committed to Rondo rather than sell him for thirty cents on the dollar. They're going to suck, suck, suck next year and probably the year after, but they're starting to pick up assets to use to make another KG/Ray Allen-type trade in a few years' time. They might even do something this summer; they now have Kris Humphries' $12M expiring contract, they might be able to package that, Avery Bradley, and one of the first rounders to pick up Josh Smith in a sign+trade, if they so chose.

And the picks they've acquired are from the Clippers and the Nets - two teams expected to be excellent in 2014, but will they still be great in 2015-2018? There's a real chance (given the age of their key players) that the Nets could royally suck at some point between 2016 and 2018, and those first rounders of theirs could be very high picks - kind of like how Red Auerbach acquired the #2 overall pick (the Len Bias pick) in the year they won the title.

So, I absolutely love the trade even though it makes the team unwatchable next year.

As long as it doesn't turn into Pitino and Antoine Walker v2.0. :eek:

Though in fairness; Pitino's years should'a brought in Duncan if the draft wasn't rigged.
 
Danny's been good with those picks, though, even when they're middle-of-the-first. He's been a pretty good drafter (although he got lucky a few times; trading the #5 overall for Ray Allen instead of drafting Yi Jianlian, and having Seattle draft Robert Swift so he got stuck with Big Al Jefferson (which ultimately helped net KG). On balance, though, he's picked up quite a few useful players even when picking in the 20s (Rondo, Tony Allen, etc).
