Hawks beat Vancouver 4-2.

Now the question is Anaheim or Detroit.

If Anaheim the Hawks have home ice.

Perhaps I may become a highwayman again.
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain,
But I will remain,
And I'll be back again, and again, and again..."

I have to say, before the beginning of the season, I had not really followed hockey, and some of my friends had kind of pushed me to watch the game. So far, I have not been disappointed! The Blackhawks are a spectacular team, I have high hopes for them for years to come!

HE'S OUR QUARTERBACK!
WE LOST AS A TEAM!

I better be Anaheim... I want to see the Red Wings fall flat on their face the next 2 games
GO HAWKS AND KANE!!!!!!!
man that last goal from Kane was incredible,
he deserved the hat trick!!
Man Luango just chocked so bad at the UC, DONT MESS WITH CHICAGO FANS!!

Tonight was Foley's last game for this season as all the Conference Finals games are on Versus or NBC.

Come on Ducks!

What a game.  I wasn't able to see it, but I caught it on the radio; it sounded like John Wiedeman was having repeated heart attacks!  For what it's worth, Kane's last goal was just a thing of beauty.  I feel confident regardless of who they play next.  I think that these guys have shown that they are the real deal; they should be contenders for the foreseeable future.

Bring on the Ducks! ...because I could only get tickets for a Game 7 in Chicago.  Gotta have home ice!

I say bring on Detroit

To be the man, you gotta beat the man and as defending champions the Wings are the man.

Anaheim forces game 7....with @ 5 diff fights at the very end of the game. Looks like it will  be a good one

Well the Ducks are just a year removed from being Champs.  Either one will be difficult...but both will be beat up following Game 7. 

That's a long trip for Anaheim too.  If they win, they'll be coming into Chicago very tired....a la the Hawks going to Vacouver after elim the Flames.  Chi could probably take the first 2 games at home.  IF it's Detroit...winning the first two is very unlikely. 

I am not a hockey fan by any stretch, but this year I find myself glued to the TV when these games are on. Playoff hockey is the most intense playoffs out of the 4 major sports. It doesnt matter to me who the Hawks face, I think Chicago will beat either one of them.

Go Blackhawks!!!

It's the Hawks vs the HATED Red Wings....bring it on...they'll kick  your a$$ too!!!!!!!!!

Yep. I couldn`t turn it down Scott ....it took me thirty years to get enough seniority to do this and the hours and pay are pretty substantial. Being the boss has it`s ups and downs though...it means I have to send some of the workers home early sometimes ....longshoreman are a spoiled bunch of crybabies and some of `em don`t realize how good they have it....oh well

The hard part will be watching da Bears if I know they lost but that shouldn`t be too often this year .....right?

---

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention.....I`m proud of my Hawks no matter what happens from here on in...I expect the Wings to get sympathy from the officials at home the first two games

I get ya and it's what you have to or should do....np....just hope you buy a recorder   I'm union but work blows for quite awhile now. I've been a foreman and hate it.

 

Hawks can win this against the Wings and the Wings  know it too. They have to stay out of the box because their PP is good and don't turn the puck over but the Hawks can out hit and out skate them. Hawks have 14 players that have scored in the playoffs and have 15 PP goals...Wings have 14 PP goals....advantage Hawks, home ice or not..Yep, the officials always give things to Detroit, it was evident tonight big time.
