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.

Third icing…only a matter of time now…
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 05/22/09 at 09:14 PM ET
wtf is the Versus announcer talking about? Stuart is on the bench with an equipment problem, while simultaneously on the ice throwing huge checks and touching up for icings.
hmmmm…

Raffy, not Stewie.

Good. Goooooooood. Keep this up. Q using his timeout? Smell the blood?

Q’stache is really starting to crack.
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/22/09 at 09:14 PM ET
Another freaking Icing ! Chicago under intense pressure.
No Dats, No Kronner, depth charge baby.
Posted by RWBill from the Land of 12 in 12. on 05/22/09 at 09:14 PM ET
Budvar, Prague.
Not Praha, Bill. České Budějovice, And I still rate Pilsner Urquell (the original pilsner) over it. Plzen’s finest.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 05/22/09 at 09:15 PM ET
I’‘m really thinking the Wings have a real chance to pull this game outta their collective asses.
really, I do.
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/22/09 at 09:16 PM ET
that’s weird. odd time for a TO.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/22/09 at 10:14 PM ET
3 icings in a row is why
Posted by AxeMaster9 on 05/22/09 at 09:16 PM ET
Keep rolling them lines, Uncle Mike. Cylinders are firing.

Took me a second, thought you were talking about Colon, but nice one Sharkbaiter. Only problem is they’d have to be in our end to do that. I don’t want it and I ain’t seein’ it either.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 05/22/09 at 09:17 PM ET
Win or lose, I am very proud of how the Wings played tonight. We are down Dats and then Kronner on a BS ejection, the Hawks have 11 PP mins the first period, and YET, AND YET…
We do not give up. We do not roll over. We play every shift. Every Shot. The stuff of Champions.
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 05/22/09 at 09:17 PM ET
Chicago is being out coached and out played.
They really look like their back on the skates.
Momentum with the Wings; and Q doesn’t have any answers.
Posted by stonehands-78 from the beginning ... a WingsFan, on 05/22/09 at 09:17 PM ET
That last Versus commercial showed Fischer getting checked?!? What the hell, are they pulling stock footage from 3-4 years ago?

RWBill, that made me laught for a solid minute.

I missed the intermission..is habby hurt or did Q’stache just replace him? Despite the three goals, habby was having a pretty good game I thought.

I saw that too; Don’t know whether to be nostalgic or angry that they chose that clip.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 05/22/09 at 09:20 PM ET
Um….
3-3
Was on the phone with TCD’s brother (trying to figure out some BS with a car title. If you know someone named Lynette Giovisee, let me know. I can contribute to the economy after having a few words with her…)
We have this
LET’S GO RED WINGS!!!!!!!!!

Anyone else notice which way the ice is tilting?
Posted by stonehands-78 from the beginning ... a WingsFan, on 05/22/09 at 09:20 PM ET
Man, the ‘Hawks look absolutely tight as a drum.

Yes.

he has to be hurt. otherwise he’d be on the bench as the backup to Huet. unless Q hit his head in the intermission.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/22/09 at 09:21 PM ET
Yeah why did they pull “The Bulin Wall”??
...besides 3 goals on 5 shots?
Posted by RWBill from the Land of 12 in 12. on 05/22/09 at 09:21 PM ET
Z-Mule-Happy and Taz-Buckets-Sammy are our two best lines tonight. Always buzzing in the offensive zone.
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 05/22/09 at 09:23 PM ET
It’s gonna be terrible if we lose this game after the domination we’ve put on the past 15 minutes (gametime).
Posted by EFWolverine from Dearborn on 05/22/09 at 09:23 PM ET
CBC made the point that if he is hurt, Queen-ville put him in the game knowing that he was.

Bruised V

I hate the red goalie pads. They all should be white.That way there can be no confusion regarding; Is the puck in? Bitches.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Posted by Kate from Pa.-made in Detroit on 05/22/09 at 09:23 PM ET
Two good chances from Nick, and a good follow by Z
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/22/09 at 09:24 PM ET
Oh, Q’s gonna blow a gasket soon…
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 05/22/09 at 09:24 PM ET
OHHH!!
OHHH!
Twice!
And yet another Icing!
Posted by RWBill from the Land of 12 in 12. on 05/22/09 at 09:24 PM ET
Q mad about the icing? How about the hook on Z?
Posted by mrfluffy from Long Beach on 05/22/09 at 09:24 PM ET
Q’s upset that they blew an icing call.
Screw off, Q, you didn’t lose a defencemen for possibly two games on a legal hit.
Posted by Zoogz on 05/22/09 at 09:24 PM ET
Zatta is phuggin monster tonight. On the PK, 5 on 5, PP, just pure BAD ASS
Posted by Deuce from Brooklyn on 05/22/09 at 09:25 PM ET
Do you think the refs have a hard time taking a guy wearing a light purple tie seriously?
Posted by The Hurricane on 05/22/09 at 09:25 PM ET
Patience is going to pay off soon. Chicago is mere minutes from the mistake we’ve been working for.
