upon further review, it looks like ward scored that 4th goal for the hawks, not kane.

 

I thought so too at first, but after looking at the replay a couple of times its clear Kane got it.

Excellent. Though he better keep his head up tomorrow night. Especially if the Hawks have a couple-goal lead near the end of the game.

 

hossa seems like a slightly dirty, but not overly nasty player. he's probably had his share of people come after him, he'll know what to do.

 

I agree with the first part of that and I hope you're right about the second part. And since Hamhuis wasn't really hurt, I doubt he'll get it too bad as long as the game stays close.

 

But please, please let's finish these guys off tomorrow. If yesterday's game showed anything, it's that we can dominate that team to a ridiculous level, almost completely shut them off from scoring chances, and still have a very good chance of losing.

 

On a side note, yesterday's game was the first home Hawks game I've been to since 2001. And that was a Detroit game (the only games they sold out in those days) and it was about 1/3 or more Wangs fans. That game yesterday was probably the most awesome sporting event I've ever been to live, and the only thing close is the last Bulls game at the Stadium (Game 6 vs. Knicks in 1994 when Pippen posterized Ewing on the baseline). A lot of folks complain about the "new" Blackhawks fan, that they try to turn the UC into a Wrigley atmosphere, don't know anything about hockey, etc. No way. I was really proud of how knowledgeable the fans at the game were. Applauding the little plays that started rushes or broke up chances, stuff like that. And that place was obviously completely bonkers when Kane and Hossa scored their goals. It was really awesome to see for someone who dealt with the almost 15 years of shittiness that was Blackhawks hockey. I'm really glad we drove up.

 

And on another side note, Gino's East [expletive] rules.

Alrighty, win tonight and it's time for some:

But first things first, the CW has to be that Nashville is deflated and/or crushed about how Saturday's game went down. I hope the Hawks don't believe any of that tonight, even if it's probably true, and step on their necks tonight.

Glad to hear you had a great experience. I almost wish game 2 was that exciting, but I'm glad we had a relatively safe victory after the 2nd goal was scored. I think most people who hate the Cubification of the Hawks are just Sox fans who are trained to hate everything that seems Cub. I don't see why you should hate your team being made popular, as long as none of the marketing takes prescidence over the building of the team, it shouldn't be an issue. I do think the Blackhawk W flags are a little dumb though, and I can understand why Sox fans despise them.

Yeah, looking back on it, of course I'm glad it went down the way it did because it was so exciting. But there sure were a lot of long faces until Kane's goal.

 

And I sort of agree about the Hawks W flags, though I'll take the enthusiasm for the team in whatever form it comes in. I just remember, especially last season, a lot of curmudgeon STHs on the Blackhawks board whining because of all the new fans and games actually selling out. I think they were pissed off because they didn't have entire rows to themselves. Talk about not seeing the forest through the trees. Of course, those are the same people who defended Wirtz's no home TV rule because they thought they were so [expletive] special.

The Hawks still have work to do obviously, but the Canucks are licking their chops at the possibility of a rematch against us.

Wow, that was one of the most poorly written articles I have ever read. Not only in terms of grammar and pacing, but also in terms of content:

 

1) It makes it seem the Canucks are obsessed with the Blackhawks

2) It actually argues that NHL players are purposefully prolonging playoff series in order to generate more revenue so they get a bigger return on their pay at the end of the year.

 

Wow...

you're lucky you went because of the storm passing through STL (you may have noticed the carnage :roll: ) NBC decided to break in every 5 min for a 20 min update, it wasn't until late in the 3rd they started leaving the game up in a little corner of the screen.

^Yeah I had the game recording, and was looking forward to watching the end again when I got home last night. And of course due to said bad weather I didn't get any of the 3rd period or OT. Oh well.
