BLACKHAWKS !!!

Dang, they kicked some b u t t and took some names in that 7th game. They were on fire !! The Ducks looked very flat footed, on home ice yet.

Anyway....who was that who predicted the Ducks and the Rangers for the SC ? Remind me to never let you pick my horse at the track. :):)

    My wife had the Blackhawks taking it all in an office pool. Part of me is excited for her and the Wings fan in me isn't. Hehe

    LOL.....Some days your the dog, and some days your the tail. See, if you would have kept that 50 and not bet against my Hawks, I could have sold ya a pair of Audioquest Golden gates for 40.

    Bah! Chicago Shmishmago...
    I only missed one game out of the Ducks/Hawks series and must say, when the Hawks turn it on, they are damn near unstoppable and the Ducks were no slouches.

    I'll just go back to licking my Bruin's wounds.......

    Was never much of a hockey can, but I did go to Bowling Green in the mid 80s. Hockey was WAY bigger than football. Had fun at those games.

    One down....being able to win on the road is key to the cup. Nice comeback last night for my Hawks. Tampa is fast, real fast, both in skating and passing the puck. Cory did an outstanding job in the net as well.

    Yeah they did. Though Cory had a lot more going on in front of the net than Tampa did. Tell ya the truth, I don't know how Tampa walked away with only one goal.

    Hawks were getting beat up on the boards, out skated, and defensively made some mistakes that weren't capitalized on. Yet they won in the end. They always find a way to win it seems.

    Glad to see the Blackhawks doing so well. Simple calculus tells me that had my Wild gotten by them in the first round - yeah, I KNOW we were swept! - we may well be still skating!:

    Next year is the year of the Wild! :wink:

    Minn has the talent and was picked early to go deep into the playoffs.....then Kane returned and that went to he77. They'll be back next season.

    Give it up for my Hawks guys, great game last night to pull ahead in the series. Started to worry that second period as it was all Tampa all period. Hopefully they can wrap it up at home Monday....which would be the first time since 1938 on home ice.

    BTW.....WTF was Bishop thinking, Tampa's goalie, on that first score ? He was out of the net, halfway to the blue line when his own player clobbered him. Never seen that at this level of Hockey before.

    Something is up with Bishop, something they aren't saying but will most likely come to light after the SC is over.

    Took it in 6, what...no love for my Hawks guys ? C'mon man, their defense was great. Plus they did it on home ice, a feat not done in 77 years.

    Some of you wrote them off too early. In reality, there's not much separating the top teams in the playoffs, and that's how it should be.

    I'm very happy they won. They looked really good last night. Also just heard what the injury to bishop is. Tear in the groin. Ouch!

    Tear in the groin ??

    I'm not buying it, something else is amiss.

    Bishop however did an excellent job the whole series, as did his backup, no shame there at all.

    MN definitely does NOT have the same talent as the top teams. They don't have any pure scorers. They have to work incredibly hard for their goals. Blackhawks hit the jackpot with Kane and Toews in back to back drafts, and then Saad and Keith. Wild picks haven't compared.
