^^^really, thats all it takes? its 1 game, and the Blackhawks do better on the road than at home anyway. I can definitely see this series going 7 games. the sharks played a good game, Rob Blake should have laid down and blocked that first goal. of course the sharks have played against goalies that have been playing out of their minds (Jonas Hiller last year, Craig Anderson in the first couple games of the Avs series, and now Niemi.) Niemi is a rookie and this is one of the best games, if not the best, of his career. and this game was just like Game 5 against the Red Wings. Really close game that could have gone either way.

By the way, fuck Dustin Byfuglien for waving his hand at the puck (like to shoo the puck farther down the ice) when he was on the bench at the end of the game. thats some immature 10 year old rec league bullshit.


AND the sharks were EXTREMELY close to tying it up at the end, heatley could had a tap into the goal but the puck was in the air, and being left handed he didnt have the positioning to bat it into the goal. also, jumbo joe whiffed on that 1 timer with time expiring.

To me its not ok, Chicago is a better team then the Sharks imo and we had to win this game and now i got a lot of doubt that the Sharks will even make a series of it.

Should they have won this game on home ice, absolutely! BUT its just one game that we could of had but slipped away, and we still almost tied it toward the end of the 3rd so it wasn't like we got out matched..... Can't do nothing about it except chalk it up as a loss and move on and focus on the next game. Home ice doesn't really mean as much in NHL even ESPN had a little segment about it a week ago, but it doesn't mean we shouldn't have won today we just lost a tough game!

There’s no place like home ice for NHL playoff teams to stumble this spring. Home teams have lost 33 of 61 games — including all four games on Tuesday and Wednesday. That means home teams have won just 46% of the time. The Penguins, notably, have gone 4-0 on the road. During last year’s playoffs, home teams went 52-35, winning nearly 60% of the time.

On Vancouver’s home ice, the Blackhawks staged one of dozens of road celebrations in this year’s NHL playoffs. There was no hint of home-ice disadvantage during the regular season. Home teams took an average of 1.25 points per game, compared to 1 point for road teams. (There are three points up for grabs in overtime games because of an NHL point-scoring system that creates some skewed incentives.) Just three of the top 20 teams in the league had more road wins than home wins. Those numbers are right in line with last year, when home teams took 1.24 points per game, compared to 0.99 for road teams.

The home-ice advantage in the regular season for the NHL, after normalizing for the extra points up for grabs, is about 5 percentage points. That’s slightly smaller than for some other major sports. In the NBA this past season it was 9.4 percentage points; in the NFL, 7; and in MLB in 2009, 4.9 percentage points.

This is probably just a fluke arising from a small sample size. But what’s particularly peculiar is that better teams generally get more home games in the playoffs. That should create the appearance of a home-ice advantage even if there were no real one. The statistics demonstrate how surprising and unpredictable the playoffs have been so far this season. Even when a series has gone as expected, individual games haven’t gone as expected.

Also, the refs messed up TWICE in putting the wrong man in the penalty box. the more important of the two mistakes was the penalty at the end of the game, where it was CLEARLY dave bolland who got the tripping call and not kris versteeg (who was the one put in the box.) not a big deal u say????? Dave Bolland is one of the Hawks biggest penalty killers and blocked a huge shot at the end of the game. fucking bullshit.
