9-9, goals.
2-2, games.
Pretty good so far!

I'm so tired of the 'yotes and their issues. Move the team to QC, KC, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Vegas, Seattle, Portland, the Toronto suburbs, give Winnipeg a second team, wherever, as long as it isn't in the city limits of Phoenix or the suburbs.
Seriously. Ever seen a goal like what happened with Bishop running into his own player? I never have. Like Bishop doesn't have enough problems.

Well, it's the Hawks to lose tonight. Hope they don't choke.... I'm planning on taking tomorrow off because, given a win, this city is gonna party!

Tonight could be the last game of the season. It always makes me a little sad when hockey ends for the season. I don't watch a lot of summer sports. I used to be a huge baseball fan, but they kind of lost me in 1994 (the strike, and the year my Dad died. It was hard to watch BB without him). Now I generally just pine away and wait for October.
I'll be rooting for Chicago tonight though. I don't have a vested interest either way, but I would like to see the Hawks win over the Bolts.
The B'hawks have a chance at lifting The Cup at home for the first time since 1938. Would be wonderful to see their fans relish that experience.

Hope it goes to game seven. Dumbass Hawks fans paying ten times face value for tickets and greedy Hawks fans selling for ten times face value. Would rather see a team win that doesn't have a fan base that ruins sports.
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF STUPID PEOPLE IN LARGE GROUPS!
...Tampa has been doing better away than at home this year.... another Game 7 would be special too...

To all my Chicago pals (many of whom are known by many of you), congratulations and tonight, "let's be careful out there".

I was wishing for 7 but congratulations to Chicago!

A good final but not a great one, though the scores will indicate otherwise. A lot of good, solid play throughout but I never felt a lot of intensity or animosity between the two teams.
The biggest fail? The Chicago fans swing and miss on their opportunity to boo Bettman to the best of their ability.
Congrats to the Chicago Gang! Nice to have the cup in the Midwest.
LOL at booing Bettman. They sorta did.
Chicago has been a classy organization for the last few years so I'll give them a little dap and say congrats. While I'm no fan of the Hawks I'd rather it be them than the team from frikkng Tampa who knocked out my lifeless Habs.
My boss gave me a little crap for holding a grudge against Tampa this year and New York last year for knocking the Habs out. He isn't a real fan as he can't understand I will never acknowledge that UNLV lost to Christian Laettner and Bobby Hurley back in '91. I still believe that game was rigged by the NCAA and nothing anyone says can ever change my opinion however grounded (or not) in fact it is.
Hell, he hasn't even heard me rant about Boston. Charra, that POS. But then, what should I expect from a guy who is more interested in basketball than hockey. Cool guy but he's misguided about not only hockey but he thinks Jackson Brown is Rock And Roll. He's fooling himself.

Congrats to Kimmo Timonen, who finally got a Cup. One of the most classy guys in all of sports.

Congrats to the B'Hawks for winning, finally, on home ice.

Break up the Hawks!!!

It will be interesting what Bowman does. Bickell, Sharp, Oduya, could get the heave ho, and certainly Saad and Kruger will get substantial enough increases. It's too bad that Richards and Vermette may not be able to be saved. Onward and onward though. Lots of talent in Rockford.

This makes it 3 Cups in the last, what, 6 years? Can we use the "D" word to describe the Hawks?
I just hope a story doesn't leak where the pucks weren't properly frozen before Game 6.
