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.

And looks like the bh forgot to keep their cool when up by *#$%@& 3 goals
Posted by AxeMaster9 on 05/22/09 at 08:23 PM ET
They could keep giving the Wings makeup calls until Saturday and it still won’t fix the damage they already did.

The refs decide now that attacking players after the whistle in front of the net isn’t allowed now. That’s refreshing.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 05/22/09 at 08:23 PM ET
Stuie has driven the net twice now
Might as well pinch and take those risks in a game like this, Okie.
And unfortunately swine flu ain’t affecting Keith as much as I’d hoped, but at least they’re now calling that after-the-whistle BS. Seabrook to the box.

Why do the friggin ‘Hawks always get away with mugging the Wings after the whistle.
Wait, an actual penalty?
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/22/09 at 08:23 PM ET
At least to compensate for the F up, the officials are finally calling the after the whistle cheapshots that our guys in front of the net are taking.

yep. and it’s time for Hossa to start cherry-picking.

Exactly. They handed the game to the Hawks with the ejection.

I’ve felt flat this whole series despite the Game 2 heroics, especially after that amazing finish to the Anaheim series. Now I’m feeling some familiar hate for these Blackhawks.
LET’S GO RED WINGS!

CBC points out Franzen’s stick was broken in half with a slash preventing him from scoring. No call.
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 05/22/09 at 08:25 PM ET
I’d much rather see the makeup calls come Sunday…with a healthy Dangle (PLEASE…fingers crossed).
And some Hoss cherry-pickin’, yeah.
Immingrant Song? That’s different. Almost makes up for Chelsea Dagger.

The numbers that brought the sport back to Chicago?
One old coot died.
Posted by Rumbear from Top O da Hasek, sippin rum & catchin some rays on 05/22/09 at 08:27 PM ET
We need a friggin goal
I know that is obvious
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/22/09 at 08:27 PM ET
Incidentally, from Immigrant Song:
“We come from the land of the ice and snow,
from the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
The hammer of the gods
Will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying:
Valhalla, I am coming!”
Z. Vikings. Swedes.
6 to 12, bitches. 6 to 12.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 05/22/09 at 08:28 PM ET
Lenio needs to move a little faster.
Lot of indecision there.
Posted by Rumbear from Top O da Hasek, sippin rum & catchin some rays on 05/22/09 at 08:29 PM ET
Leino just did his best impression of a deer in the headlights when the puck ended up on his stick. I was surprised it didn’t end up in our net.
this game isn’t looking good, people. but we know the Wings are strong late. all it takes is one goal. they’ll crack Khabibulin eventually, what matters is how soon.

On a side note, I am enjoying the close up camera shots on Uncle Mike.

Babcock is giving it to the ref. He has a pair of salad tongs in his hand and is waving them menacingly.
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 05/22/09 at 09:07 PM ET
Wow that’s a blast from the past.

I hate hockey games that are over half way through
Posted by Tyler from Arizona on 05/22/09 at 08:30 PM ET
has Z actually taken a single faceoff in the past two weeks?
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/22/09 at 08:31 PM ET
Nice job by Z there, but will it matter with this lack of a PP?
Posted by mrfluffy from Long Beach on 05/22/09 at 08:31 PM ET
Drawing these penalties isn’t going to mean crap if we don’t freaking score on them.
Posted by EFWolverine from Dearborn on 05/22/09 at 08:31 PM ET
-Are these the Nazis, Walter?
Before all the shiz started, VooX, I was gonna say right on. In Denmark, incidentally, the mullet is known as “Bundesliga-Här—” Bundesliga Hair. Between that and Chelsea Dagger, German soccer is all about good taste.
Another PP. We gotta make something out of it sometime.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 05/22/09 at 08:31 PM ET
Leino has to be wondering ‘what’s going on?’ ‘where am i?’
What a game to get your first playoff experience, eh?
Posted by stonehands-78 from the beginning ... a WingsFan, on 05/22/09 at 08:31 PM ET
For the love of Gawd, PLEASE score a goal
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/22/09 at 08:31 PM ET
this is sick. *#$%@& make up bullshit. I dont care who the call is against. Bad FUKING refs are bad fuking refs. Pathetic
Posted by AxeMaster9 on 05/22/09 at 08:31 PM ET
Wow that’s a blast from the past.
I am on copious intoxicants and feeling giddy with flashbacks. It beats watching the game.
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 05/22/09 at 08:32 PM ET
versteeg: look’s like we got good legs tonight (smirk) so now we have to step it up.
that smirk was all i needed to see that “good legs” in versteeg’s terms means “ridiculously biased officiating”
sidenote: looks like gary has told the refs to make some calls the other way, just to make it seeeeem like the officials are calling an even-keel game. ass.

I don’t think so. Homey don’t play that. Bitches.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Good taste, Paul.

Khabbbbyy ain’t givin up any rebounds.
Posted by RWBill from the Land of 12 in 12. on 05/22/09 at 08:33 PM ET
Franzen held. obvious.
no call.
one of these days I’ll actually take the time to start making Youtube videos to show how pathetic the officials are in this league.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/22/09 at 08:33 PM ET
That Khabibulin “look quick toward the camera” studio shot has to be one of the most homosexual things I’ve ever seen in my life.
