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.

I hate the red goalie pads.
It’s the black ones that are the problem usually… the puck “disappears” there.

Wings are really starting to have their way now.
Soon Bitches, soon

Don’t know if this has already been addressed, but on the radio they are saying that Bulin was/is injured which is why he’s out. He didn’t skate in the optional practice yesterday for the Hawks.

Whaaaa…? That wasn’t icing! OVER THE LINE!

Chicken hawks are now dodging hits instead of taking the hit and making the play
Posted by CaptainDennisPolonich from Warm and sunny SoCal on 05/22/09 at 09:28 PM ET
There’s the icing even-up. That’s about as picky as you’ll see.

i have yet to say anything about it, but i absolutely love your picture VooX. Danglium…genius. and the shadow and everything is flawless. nice work.
My friend Shoalzie at hfboards made my avatar for me. He combined my request for Datsyuk and “Dangle Dangle” and took it to the next level. He has made about 100 different avatars on the same theme for this postseason. It animates into “The Winning Elements 2009 Stanley Cup Playoffs” explosion effect on hfboards.
I requested a non-animated version for here.
The Wings are hungry and dangerous, but the Hawks are still fast.

Deuce, If by “strange” you mean f*cked up beyond all recognition by Gary’s refs, then I agree.

Blackhawks trying to line us up for big hits now. That’s going to cost them.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 05/22/09 at 09:31 PM ET
Leno way to get that puck. He has some dangle in him
Posted by CaptainDennisPolonich from Warm and sunny SoCal on 05/22/09 at 09:31 PM ET
Great shift by Leino, but I wish he would’ve tried to feed Franzen out in front.

Not only loads of icings, but loads of offsides on the Chickenhawks.

or take it to the net like Franzen would have. just charge it in. maybe one of his ass-first goals like his NHL first.

18 shots on goal last period. 3 goals. 6 shots this period. 0 goals. Stop passing and shoot the biscuit, dammit.

Don’t let the facts get in the way of you sounding like you know what you’re talking about. Gotta love Li’l Gary’s network. CBC for me.

And I’m starting to think you’re never gonna learn Tyler. He does the little things that make teams win. That’s good enough for me.

rafalski never played it. shouldn’t that be interference?

I wish I had CBC. Stuck in Chicago. Payed for center ice. but still stuck with VS…
Posted by pawl91 on 05/22/09 at 09:36 PM ET
Sammy with a good shift in the non pooping end there?
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 05/22/09 at 09:36 PM ET

No because under rule 4.865(b)(2) since Rafi is a Red Wing its not interference.
Posted by CaptainDennisPolonich from Warm and sunny SoCal on 05/22/09 at 09:36 PM ET
Lids shot or 6’5” had a screen.. it would have been dangerous….
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 05/22/09 at 09:38 PM ET
let’s go boys. finish this before overtime.
Posted by ckittle from Durham, New Hampshire on 05/22/09 at 09:38 PM ET
The great shift by the Toews line was caused entirely by Sammy’s turnover on the rush in the neutral zone. And then the little shit tries to get fancy instead of dumping it in deep. This is why we can’t sign him despite all the good things he does.
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 05/22/09 at 09:38 PM ET

Ah yes, the infamous ‘Dynasty Clause.’
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 05/22/09 at 09:38 PM ET

the only reason he got a chance to make a good defensive play is because he coughed it up at the blue line.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/22/09 at 09:38 PM ET
Stu has been quite good again tonight.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 05/22/09 at 10:34 PM ET
