Toews 2 goals in 20 seconds kind of evens that out I'd say
none of these games have been easy ... none of the rest will be either ... so how many OT's tonight? 2 or 3? or, will we be shocked, elated, and be able to get some sleep before a workday with the Blackhawks ringing in the game winner in the first minute or 2 of OT?
these fuckers are going to give me a heart attack

Yeah, that was about the most embarrassing ending possible. Caught in a change and horrible rebound by Crawford. Fuck 'em. Blackhawks are good, but they're not that good.

No way I give up on the Hawks. Down 3-0 I figured they would chip away at the lead. Told my wife I felt OT (don't all Hawks playoff games go to OT?).
Like the grit this team has. It will be tough to win 2 in a row against the Ducks, it can be done, but damn, this isn't the Wings or Blues of the last couple of years.
This game makes me hate Kesler all the more. I think he under estimates the Hawks.
Bickell, time to ship him off. Big changes ahead for the Hawks win or lose. A youth movement is coming.
Let the Hawks get game 6 and see what happens after The slow start killed them.
Like what I am seeing out of Teuvo.

I honestly don't think there's much of a youth movement coming so long as Q is coach. My horror is that they deal away more of their prospects to get more ancient gritty veterans for 1-2 year rentals instead of giving guys like Hartman, McNeil, TVR, and Johns their opportunities. Who knows.

With the salary cap situation they will be letting some vets walk or they will trade. I can see Bickell, Sharp and possibly Shaw gone from this team. Saad is due a pay raise. I don't foresee any other cash being spent on vets coming here.

HAWKS!!!!! Putting some doubt in the Ducks head.
Kesler can eat shit. He thinks their physical play is wearing down the Hawkss, didn't see it tonight bitch.
Bickell pounds some ducks early then disappears. HOssa finally found the net.
Crawford got a little shaky in the 3rd but D helped him out.
I think they can do it. Shoot often and early, score first and I think they are in the finals

I didn't get to see the game because of work, but sounds like the Hawks really took care of business in game 6.
With two days of rest and should have momentum on their side, the Hawks should at least make game 7 interesting.

It was solid. First period was a total wash. 2nd period Hawks opened up and that Saad/Toews/Kane line went ape shit. 3rd was mostly a Ducks push but the Blackhawks didn't break. Game 7 will be madness.

I think that was the best game the Blackhawks played this series
the only negative I took away from it is actually a compliment to the Ducks ... they seem to simply be a cleaner crisper passing team ... some of their attempts looked like the players involved were mind melded, but then Crawford would make the save so all their pretty passing went for naught
and I agree that game 7 is going to be madness

this series highlighted the depth the Blackhawks have, and that they have a Captain who is that in so much more than name only
Jonathan Toews simply took control, led by example, and everyone else got in step with him ... he and Duncan Keith have been the 2 most outstanding contributors in a lineup full of solid players, and it has been exciting to watch how they step up the most when the game is the biggest
and hey - can't forget about Kaner, who wasn't even supposed to be playing when the playoffs first started
we need to embrace and enjoy this team, because given the nature of contracts and such, they will not be around forever
now on to Tampa to finish this thing
GO 'HAWKS!
