Every once in a while, at Game 2, a small but vocal band of Hawk fans made their presence felt. They were in one of those overhang deals, kind of a private box in the 202 section. They’d pick and choose their spots and yell it in unison.
“Detroit sucks.”
Idiots in the crowd got angry. They swore and pointed. A few drank some more and yelled more bad things at those people. The Hawk fans laughed and taunted the idiots.
But when Dan Cleary scored to give the Wings a 2-1 lead, something strange happened. Two entire sections, hundreds of people turned at once, peered up at the Hawk fan box and waved. All at once waving. It was awesome.
And I’ll tell you this, no matter how much you hate the Hawk fans…those guys handled it well. They laughed along with us and took it. And when Sammy pooped in a box to end it, those guys shook a few hands before they left. Pretty cool.
Tonite? It won’t even be close. Tonite? If you’re a Wing fan in Chicago you’re not safe and that’s just the way it is.
Because everyone knows what this game means. Wings win and this bitch is done. Over. Hawks? Not so much.
Half a dozen to a dozen.
It’s a Live Blog bitches.

You hear the same song in a lot of Bundesliga (German soccer) games when the home team scores….just sayin’.

I actually thought we started out real well and then, boom, penatly. I don’t know how that was a double-minor when there was no blood.

Can’t blame the zebras for Buckets’ penalty. He got his money’s worth on that one.
I joined late obviously no Dats. Any update on his condition?
Posted by CaptainDennisPolonich from Warm and sunny SoCal on 05/22/09 at 07:31 PM ET
Don’t care. That music…is…yeah.
No more soft shit.
If I wanted soft there is a Dairy Queen down the street.

Lots of game left but we gotta score the next one or ...................

I’m not worried, actually. This isn’t the Ducks we’re playing.

“Bundesliga (German soccer)”
I think we know what you’re sayin’

Everything is bouncing off Ozzie these playoffs

-Are these the Nazis, Walter?
-No, Donny, these men are nihilists, there’s nothing to be afraid of.

Long game, lotsa puck to play.
Let’s go Bitches & Assholes.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 05/22/09 at 07:32 PM ET
Is goaltending interference only an option when 96 is on the ice?
Jeebus. Gary.Ass.

I’m getting real sick of these Stanley Cup Playoffs 2009 ‘Factoids’ that ESPN America keep using for bookends on the commercial breaks…
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 05/22/09 at 07:33 PM ET
At least there isn’t too much stress == just a whole lotta frustration.
On the other hand, if the Wings actually pull this outta thier ass, how depressing for CHI.
Don’t see it though, just saying.
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/22/09 at 07:33 PM ET
“I am so sick of KNOWING that Det will give up a PP goal”
Amen.
Posted by Chris in Hockey Hell from COLUMBIA, TENNESSEE on 05/22/09 at 07:33 PM ET
So far only Osgood has shown up to play. WTF?
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 05/22/09 at 07:33 PM ET
I dunno, Cap’n D. Looked pretty obvious to me. Toews visor was holding Cleary’s stick for all it was worth
Posted by dougie on 05/22/09 at 07:33 PM ET
OZZY!
GET ‘EM RAFFI!!!
Posted by stonehands-78 from the beginning ... a WingsFan, on 05/22/09 at 07:34 PM ET
Actually, watching Chicago starting to do all these little, uncallable interferences, they do kinda look like the Ducks tonight.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 05/22/09 at 07:34 PM ET
It’s a series now, ya, bunch of swede lovin’ front runners!
Posted by Lindas1st on 05/22/09 at 07:35 PM ET
Havlat out cold with his eyes open. Kronner is an animal.
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 05/22/09 at 07:35 PM ET
Holy shit Kronner.
Posted by Bella from puddle of her own vomit on 05/22/09 at 07:35 PM ET
I’m not worried, actually. This isn’t the Ducks we’re playing.
Yeah, let’s see some prevent defense from the Hawks.
Bill, if that had been us and we’d been called for goalie interference, we’d be screaming right now. It was a good goal.
Damn good hit from Kronner.

Good on, Dougie. i needed a laugh.
What a hit by Nick Jr. He is out cold
Posted by CaptainDennisPolonich from Warm and sunny SoCal on 05/22/09 at 07:35 PM ET
WOW—who Nick Jr. just demolished HAvlat
ButtUgly oughta get a 5 min for that
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/22/09 at 07:35 PM ET
Fugly’s gotta sit for that. I don’t know yet if Kronner’s hit was clean, but Fugly’s sure as hell wasn’t
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 05/22/09 at 07:35 PM ET
And now the hate starts,
Posted by stonehands-78 from the beginning ... a WingsFan, on 05/22/09 at 07:36 PM ET
SAY WHAT? What’s the ejection for?
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 05/22/09 at 07:36 PM ET
I didn’t see the Kronner hit - was it leagal?
Posted by 13datsyukfan13 from Mid Michigan on 05/22/09 at 07:36 PM ET
Uh-oh.
Lights out.
Not really a shot to the head by replay though.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 05/22/09 at 07:36 PM ET
Shit…thank god. That was *#$%@& horrible….
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 05/22/09 at 07:37 PM ET
CBC shows replay. Looks like a clean hit, but Havlat never touches the puck between his skates, but that is so borderline. No elbow, no charge, no interference.
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 05/22/09 at 07:37 PM ET
You are motherfucking kidding me. They ejected Kronner for that?
Posted by DetroitHockey on 05/22/09 at 07:37 PM ET
I thought the Nick Jr. hit was clean
ButtUgly has to sit
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/22/09 at 07:37 PM ET
If’s that not a charge then nothing is ,he clearly left his feet before contact.
Posted by lindas1st on 05/22/09 at 07:37 PM ET
What the hell? Keep your head up dipshit. And…of course…the Wings get f*cked on calls. That’s a charge? Bulleffingshat.
Posted by mrfluffy from Long Beach on 05/22/09 at 07:37 PM ET
The puck was right in his feet. How the hell is that a game misconduct?
Posted by CaptainDennisPolonich from Warm and sunny SoCal on 05/22/09 at 07:37 PM ET
Kronner gone?
Guarantee he’s out for game four too.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 05/22/09 at 07:37 PM ET
OH FFS….that was NOT a misconduct.
I think there goes the game.
Mule serving another penalty. WTF…
