Congrats to the champion Blackhawks! Quite a few Hawks fans there to celebrate this with the team.

Way to make the big save Tooooooka. :P

OMFG!!! BRUINS ABSOLUTELY IMPLODED!!!

Holy crap! I can't believe they tied it up!

Noooooo!!!... anyone but Lucic and his big pickle nose.

Speaking of gas, one of my dogs is farting like it's her job... it is really making it hard to enjoy the game. :sick:

I think a defenseman will score the game winner.

That's a weak call on Shaw. Considering what they let go, hard to believe that was a penalty. Toews ties it at 1!

The game hasn't started yet and I'm already sick of Emrick.

I always figured Bruins players could do whatever they wanted to without league retribution because Colin Campbell was NHL head sheriff (and his son, of course, plays for the Bruins). I thought that might stop this year with a new head disciplinarian. But, Shanny has continued to turn a blind eye to the Bruin's on-ice thuggery. In a philosophical sense, I think the league needs to figure out whether they want a bunch of 6'4 240 lb. guys thugging it up and clogging up shooting lanes in 2-1 or 1-0 games, or whether they want to reward speed, creativity, and skill. I'm sure opinions will differ on the matter, but it seems to me that we're right back where we were pre-2005.

I keep wanting to be optimistic... we have some good young players, some trade-able assets, a ton of draft picks over the next three years.... then I remember we still have Darcy and a sense of hopelessness sets in. :blush:

Here are some pics from inside the Saddle Dome. It's going to cost a lot of $$$ to clean that place up. http://flames.nhl.com/club/gallery.htm?id=36968

Playoff win #15 for the Hawks... one to go...

The Hawks GM was raised in Williamsville. That's a good reason to root for the Hawks. ...although the Bruins owner was born and raised in Buffalo, so I guess you could make the same argument for the Bruins. ;)

The league is happy because the series will go at least 6 games now. Great point shot by Seabrook for the game winner.

I think he has a no movement clause. They'd probably want to move Hossa, but I doubt Buffalo would want him. Bickell is a guy I'd love to have. He is a pending UFA.

:P Crawford looks terrible. The only positive for us is if the Hawks lose the series maybe Chicago will become a potential trade partner for Miller.

There it is. Sharp is clutch. ... I don't trust Crawford to hold this lead. Yep. Just as I suspected.

... and another semi-weak one by Crawford.

Jagr just owned Johnny O. on that goal.

Crawford is all over the place tonight. Even on the saves he makes he looks a little shaky.

It was 1-1, then I took the dogs outside to poop (them not me) and now it is 3-1?!

If the Coyotes end up moving to Seattle they'll have to play in Key Arena for a couple of years and Key has the same sort of skewed rink setup. Really odd looking.

Doc Emrick talks about "it" a lot...

Looks like the position has been filled! http://sabres.nhl.co...vid=DL|BUF|home (Is this one of you guys?)
