Blackhawks!

They certainly have turned around their play in the past two games. I hope they can keep it up for Game 7

AS I said --and most of us know, it is all about a hot goalie--Detroit surely has that. We will have to pour it on RIGHT from the onset--Thankfully we are home team--Hockey is one of the few major sports--maybe the only one, which by rule favors the home team. The crowd is big but the rules--last line change and last in dropping the stick on face-offs, are really big.

I look for Hossa and Kane to star this evening--with maybe a tad of Sharp mixed in.

We should win--but that GOALIE !!!!

I'm going to go on a limb here and say that the Hawks will win 4-3.

Let's Go Blackhawks!!! My friends and I are getting rowdy for this one!

Hawks Win !! But barely !! The call at the end of third period was absolutely brutal --Refs normally let them play--has been that way for years.

It seemed like all the commentators agreed--BAD CALL. Our guys prevailed--Red Wings are good but we have MORE good players and that is how it played out.

Goalies were superb.

Next up Los Angeles---We face another good goalie--we know this--but who knew Howard would be almost impregnable ??

I like Hawks in six !! Too many guns !!

What a game! I was really worried after we decided to take the 3rd period off (with the exception of the last couple of minutes). Glad we won, though.

Now, as for the Kings...this isn't going to be easy. They are a physical team with a very good goalie (where have we seen that?) There is only one goalie in the playoffs who has a better goals against average than Crawford...and we get to play him for the next group of games. It is NOT going to be easy getting through him.

Unfortunately, this series is going to 7. As for who will win...We'll have to wait and see how the Hawks play. If they play like Games 1, 5, 6 and (most of) 7...we can win. If we play like Games 2, 3 and 4...this is going to be a very short series.
