Re: Chicago Blackhawks 2013 Playoffs

I'm way too overconfident now.

Nice late hit by Greene. Playing on the edges of the rules. Smart not to retaliate though. At least until we're up 4-0.

Strader you idiot the anthem tradition did not start in 1991.

 

No? I loved that story though. Whats the real deal?

 

It was spontaneous, apparently, but it was a playoff series in the 1980s. 1985 I think.

Chicago's anthem tradition began during the 1985 conference finals against Edmonton. After dropping the first two games of the series on the road, Hawks fans entered Chicago Stadium on May 9 fully energized and ready to help their team get back into the series. The crowd was so excited they cheered all the way through the National Anthem — and the tradition stuck.

 

"When I introduced the anthem, fans just started clapping and cheering," said Harvey Wittenberg, the Blackhawks' public-address announcer from 1961-2001. "That was the start of the phenomenon."

 

So Straders whole story was pretty much wrong.

Oh yeah, 100%. I still don't mind the guy, but yeah. Can't go saying dumb, easily disproveable [expletive] on the air.

Kings have been better since the goal, imo

[kujay]

Dustin Brown is a dirtbag, by the way.

[UMFan83]

I'm way too overconfident now.

 

I was overconfident after the Hawks took a 1-0 lead against Detroit in Game 2

They have, but I'm still stupidly confident.

[Guest]

[UMFan83]

We are kind of playing terrible right now.

[kujay]

Saad is fancy.

[bcl412]

Kings have had the puck a lot lately but they haven't really had a great chance.

[Guest]

lol shaw is dirty

[kujay]

Yeah through the last few minutes we've had the better chances.

[kujay]

lol shaw is dirty

 

Hahaha.

[UMFan83]

Guess Seabs and Fraser aren't Mario Kart buddies anymore

[Guest]

uhh you're not allowed to run over the goalie

[kujay]

Damn Crow not smart.

[kujay]

uhh you're not allowed to run over the goalie

 

No way man he went out far too late.

[UMFan83]

Damn Kane is such a good passer

[Guest]

whoa kane actually kind of did something

[Soul]

Oh he just missed!

[bcl412]

The Kings are just shooting from the outside and seem to be only hoping for a redirect or rebound. Crawford is either catching it or it's not getting to him.

 

I enjoy some puck control though.

crawford is saving our asses this period
