Round 3 starts this weekend. Saturday and Sunday there are games. Feel like the Hawks have been waiting forever.

You can thank the Wild for letting the Hawks getting good and rested up, healing the bumps and bruises. They should be ready to go now.

Hawks came out playing with high intensity. Looked good. Just did not get the breaks. Couple of fluke goals for the Ducks.
Good game for sure. Its going to be tough.

Seems to me there are more jerseys worn by Blackhawks fans than any other team. I'm looking at the stands its 90% red, another 5% are black and white jerseys. Other teams its like 50-60% jerseys in the stands, or so it seems. Am I Right? Or Wrong? Of course I only seem to get glimpses, I'd like to see a shot of the camera panning the entire stadium

That 3 OT game was incredible. The head butt goal by Shaw was some thing I dont think I will ever forget. Yes it did not count but dang. The bar I was at was nuts. Some celebrating, some questioning. Like an emotional roller coaster.

Last night I really thought they were going to tie it up there at the end. They def had their chances.

Lots of Chicago folks every where. Or you know you dont have to be form Chicago to root for a team with the kind of talent they have.
Lots of bandwagon joiners out there.

3 goals in 37 seconds WOW what a rally by the Ducks. After being down by 2 to go up by 1, 2nd fastest set of 3 goals in playoff history, then the Hawks tie it up 4 each.
5 goals in 5 min 1 sec. I LOVE PLAYOFF HOCKEY!
That was one of the best 3rd periods I've seen. OT is going to be intense if that is any indication of play to come

That was one of the best games I have seen in a long time.

As a Blackhawks fan, I'm afraid to say I have this feeling that was their last win of the season, but they left nothing on the table to win that one and you never know what can happen going forward (I'm still hopeful).

The Ducks are a great team and really have it going on right now.

I am a hockey fan first and a Blackhawks fan second and to see such great hockey being played is a true treat and is what makes the Stanley Cup Playoffs so much fun to be a part of.

Polaris Dan - U might want to go with game 7...

Last night was nuts again. Ulcers flaring... lol
down 3 zip off the bat. Then fighting back. More OT. Just nuts.

Ducks are a big physical team. The hard hitting is wearing on the Hawks for sure.
I think they need to focus on the speed and long passing game. That's where they can beat the ducks.
Last night as soon as they starting the long passes in to the zone and driving to the net things changed. You could see the Ducks were on their heels.

I sure do hope for a Hawk Miracle. Come back and win this thing. It will be tough but they can do it!
Who ever wins this series is going to take the cup if you ask me.

Rangers and Lightening have been putting on a good show too. I just think Ducks and Hawks are better teams.

I totally agree I've posted before my love of playoff hockey. Olympic hockey was better before the pros played. What happened there anyway? I thought the Olympics were suppose to be amateur sports.

Game 7 for east and west. Well the Hawks finally played like the team they need to be if they want a chance at the cup. Even the games they won against the Ducks they were outplayed. You could tell they were hungry today. Friday and Saturday we find out who is who.

Happy to be wrong! Only watched the first period, as I had to get to sleep. Boy did I miss it!

There is serious talk about no more pros in the Olympics.

all for no pros in the Olympics, give us some new players to cheer for/against. the Canada cup is usually quite good without pros.

God I love this game!
Some great hockey! I did take off two game after my Wild got swept! I was PISSED!
Pretty sad when my Hawks friends felt too sorry for me to even rip or tease me!
I cooled off and got back at it!
I did get to every home game and really enjoyed my trip to Chitown for that game the last week of the regular season!
Hawks/Rangers series is what I'm hoping for!
I might have to get my 10 foot outdoor screen going for these two game sevens tho!
LOVE IT!
