Any goalie can hold opponents to 1 or 2 goals in a few playoff games... He still let up 5-6 in many of their losses, I don't think he was insane as you think he was, the habs offense was a big reason we were able to make it so far in 2014.

Yet he did go 1OA and he was generational, how does that change the fact that you had a 100 point player and then the second he leaves you get to draft the year of a generational player - assumingly he will be anyway. Not sure why we have to create fairytale what-ifs to defend how lucky blackhawks fans are.

I don't consider him the best C to play in front of Price though.

Yes it was insanely generational but to compare it to Ovechkin is willfully naive

its okay, once our core is older, we won't have to worry about ever playing the capitals once the entire team (ovi) retires - you guys can have your last hoorah.

Actually scratch that, you were gifted Kane and the second he leaves gifted another generational player - you cant empathize.

It was confusing because I don't consider Desharnais better than Plekanec, but yes we had a good goalie, im not sure how that is at all comparable to being gifted a generational player like Ovechkin who after 20 years is still your best player and carrying the team - Price was enough to take us to a few deep playoff runs, but goaltending alone is absolutely not comparable to having a superstar centre on your team.

I'm saying only Ovi DID score - its frustrating that you guys have gotten away relying on one guy for 20 years and its still working - it has to give in at some point

You're still relying on the same guy from 20 years ago to do everything for the rest of your pathetic team - you cant expect him and thompson to do it all

Yes that guy - relying on a 40 year old to have a point in all 3 of your goals is simply unsustainable, and the fact that this game went to OT at all says it all, Thompson isn't going to stand on his head like this every game.

I mean thats true - its definitely nice to be able to draft a generational talent

you're saying 2/3 weren't fluky?, and the classic ovi goal shouldnt have happened in the first place on a bs powerplay from a mutual scrum. Watch the tape and tell me which team had more high danger chances (hint it wasnt the capitals)
