    Ted "the bulldog" Lilly is quickly becoming one of my favorite Cubs. I was thinking about getting a new jersey shirt in the near future and I think TRL would be a great choice.

    This Sharks/Avs game is getting pretty good. Col scored a few minutes ago to take a 2-1 lead but the Sharks just tied it up with 12 minutes left in the 3rd. Obviously, I'd LOVE to see Colorado win this series, because the Hawks would get to face them in the next round should we advance. Not to say that Colorado is a pushover, but I'd rather the Hawks face them than Vancouver.

    I was hoping Ottawa could take it to 7...blah. Also still holding out hope Colorado can take it to 7, but they are trailing 1-0.

    The Pirates guys are just awful. They really are. Admittedly they have a pretty difficult job making Pirates baseball seem interesting, and they have a LOT of garbage time to fill, but still, they sound horrible.

    Amazingly, a win tomorrow would give us a winning road trip.

    Four more runs, it would have been a grand slam Yeah but we got 1 on that play because of the sac fly. Edit: yeah, I was a bit late there.

    Narveson is like their Grabow, and for some reason he keeps facing us. I think its the third time we've seen him this season already and I believe we've gotten to him each time.

    What a surprise, the leadoff man gets on for Grablow.

    So how does everyone think the prognosis for the Hawks is the rest of this series? It's pretty clear that Chicago will have all the momentum after the win today. On the surface it seems pretty likely that the Hawks will finish this series off Monday in Nashville. The fact that they outplayed the Predators all game except for a few notable moments here and there says a lot about our chances. Personally, I just can't see the Hawks not being able to dominate the Preds at least in one of the last 2 games of the series. Maybe one game but not both. However...Nashville knows they can play with the Hawks. They aren't scared of us. They know they *could* win the last 2 games. Common sense has been wrong a ton of times in this series. Every time you expect the Hawks to just roll over this team, every time you think the Hawks are in control, the Preds come back. So we'll see. If this was game 7 coming up, I'd be worried but with 2 chances to get it done, I feel somewhat good. We just need to get out of this series. Vancouver is a better team than Nashville but obviously plays with a style more accustomed to how the Blackhawks want to play. Someone better let Robby Luongo know the Blackhawks are coming....

    I think it was a bloop over Weeks head, who almost got it. I am not 100% sure because I was only half paying attention. I know it wasn't a liner or anything.

    I agree. It was a bit cheap, and no doubt there was frustration involved with that shove, but it was obvious Hossa was trying to make a play on the puck. Like you said with 1 minute left in a pivitol game 5 with the puck in the Preds zone, it's hard to believe he was going around looking to lay out someone just because. It doesn't excuse the hit, which was cheap and illegal, but I don't think it deserves a suspension. He didn't even get a game misconduct for it. That said, the NHL can be really weird about stuff like this. The fact that he didn't get a game misconduct for the hit, and the fact that he bounced right back out of the penalty box to score the winning goal makes me worry the NHL will deem that he wasn't punished enough for the hit. You can bet the Preds are trying to frame this as Ovechkin-Campbell part 2 (their coach was saying he sees no difference between the 2 hits in the post game), and I wouldn't be surprised if Hamhius has an "injury" tomorrow.

    I want to elaborate on this. I honestly haven't flipped out like that because of a sporting event in years. I think maybe Devin Hester in the SB is the last time. Wow. Shame on me for giving up on this team for a bit there. Parise goal in the gold medal game? That was the last one for me. Have had a couple Iowa football and Vikings games mixed in. The last minute plus OT was just nerve-wracking beyond belief. Actually the goal in the gold medal game was pretty sweet. I did go crazy for that. That was close but I temporarily went insane for like 10 seconds after this goal.

    Hossa gets rewarded for a cheapshot LOL Too bad it might be the last time he plays in this series. BUT WHO CARES WERE ALIVE AND OK BLACKHAWKS LEAD SERIES 3-2

    I JUST SPAZZED OUT LIKE AN EIGHT YEAR OLD AND I DONT CARE

    Not over pursuing because they are on a penalty kill
  18. UMFan83
    OMG that almost went in. 1:10 left...please kill
  19. UMFan83
    Well think about how until like 5 minutes ago, you probably were starting to accept the fact that the Hawks were going to lose. I mean I'm happy to still be playing this game but I won't get my hopes up too much yet due to the long PK awaiting the Hawks.
  20. UMFan83
    The way this game has gone, it wouldn't shock me to score shorthanded in OT. I really hope the Preds commit a dumb penalty in the first few minutes of OT to even things up.
  21. UMFan83
    The good news is Nashville has been horrible on the PP, but 4 whole minutes to start an OT period will be difficult.
  22. UMFan83
    As happy as that was, we still have to kill off 4:10 of one man down.
  23. UMFan83
    SCORE!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY [expletive]!!!!!!!!
  24. UMFan83
    Sweet we get to spend the rest of the game 5 on 5 with an empty net.
  25. UMFan83
    Good game for Niemi stopping a whole 75% of the shots that came his way.
