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’m starting to think Filppula is never going to be a noticeable player

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
+2.

Sharp has been dangerous on the forecheck all night.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 05/22/09 at 09:40 PM ET
Yeah—the Hawks were able to take advantage of ELEVEN MINUTES OF PP TIME IN THE FIRST!
That ain’t exactly takin’ advantage…except by the refs.

Hossa, would you like to be signed with ink and paper? Now is the time.

Babcock was thinking the same thing.

I want Z-Fule-Homer on this draw. But of course Hossa will be out there cause you asked for it.
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 05/22/09 at 09:42 PM ET
I was raised to be polite.
Heh. Not our Bella, she wasn’t.

I calls ‘em as I sees ‘em, boys.
Really, it’s not my fault. I was educated by Nuns and Jesuits.
Overtime again? It’s a good thing I have a spare bottle of wine.
Posted by Deuce from Brooklyn on 05/22/09 at 09:42 PM ET
Money time, Hossa. Show us what you came here for, and I don’t mean your stellar backchecking…
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 05/22/09 at 09:42 PM ET
O/T
Whose pets are hiding?

Another OT. Destroy their hopes at home. Do it.

OT - Let’s one early, OK Hossa?

Sumbitch…. more beer VooX.
How about a mind-eraser too.

I was educated by Rabbis and Israelis.
Not sure what that makes me.
OT. Hear that, Hossa? Money time.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 05/22/09 at 09:44 PM ET
6 shots on a rusty goalie is not good. Overtime makes me sad.
Posted by IwoCPO from Sunny San Diego, bitches on 05/22/09 at 09:44 PM ET
There is a noose hanging in the tree right outside my door, and if tonight goes into OT, I may have to use it…..regardless of the outcome.
Posted by HockeyTownTodd on 05/22/09 at 07:53 PM ET
Someone better check on Gramps.
Posted by Bella from puddle of her own vomit on 05/22/09 at 09:44 PM ET
Maltby is having a great game tonight, Not sure if anyone’s mentioned him in the last 5 years, but his hustle is one of the unsung stats.
Posted by The Hurricane on 05/22/09 at 09:45 PM ET
At least we get a point smile
Posted by The Hurricane on 05/22/09 at 10:43 PM ET
THAT is the first time I have laughed all game

(geez its hard to make my fingers work when they’re shaking)
Let’s Go Red Wings!!!!!
6 to 12
To state the obvious: next goal wins!

Pick your who scores the OT goal. Winner gets a block of cheese.
I’m playing the odds and going with Mule

I hope it goes to a shootout. My ferret loves those.
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 05/22/09 at 09:46 PM ET
Leino’s been buzzing. I’ll take him as a bit of a dark horse.

Amazingly, it is the Blackhawks who are lucky that this game is left to overtime.

6 shots on a rusty goalie is not good.
‘Hawks only took 6 SOG too.
‘Hawks having to play tight “D” b/c their rusty goalie.
Wings SHOULD come out jumping.
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/22/09 at 09:47 PM ET
How big was the decision to put Maltby back in ?
Should have dressed Meech instead of Leino.
Leino is not ready for prime time, looking more and more like he needs at least 2 or 3 more years in GR.
Posted by HockeyTownTodd on 05/22/09 at 09:47 PM ET
I’m still going with Hossa.
Man! is he due!
Posted by stonehands-78 from the beginning ... a WingsFan, on 05/22/09 at 09:47 PM ET
Charlie Buckets for the winner.
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 05/22/09 at 09:48 PM ET
Leino for the game winner. he’s had great energy, some good chances, and will have the freshest legs. breakaway? here it comes.

except for the one deer-in-the-headlights moment, I thought he has looked pretty good.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/22/09 at 09:48 PM ET
Hawks managed to avoid losing the third period. Still, I’ll keep stressing it. We have to remain patient. Controlled aggression is a must. We basically have to trick them into trying to open it up, wait until they get frustrated. That game-ending mistake will come.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 05/22/09 at 09:48 PM ET

Good game after being a healthy scratch. It never fails.
If I was a betting man, I would say Jewish.
Ding ding! You win the grand prize—a twenty-minute overtime period!
I’ll take Hoss. He’s overdue. Time to show us what he’s here for. What Cups are made of.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 05/22/09 at 09:49 PM ET
I gotta like our chances in OT. Don’t look back. Only look forward. Bitches.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Posted by Kate from Pa.-made in Detroit on 05/22/09 at 09:49 PM ET
There’s no mention of length or height in terms of how a player a leaves his skate. Maybe its semantics arguing over what kind of penalty Kronwall got, but it was charging in or book. And he could’ve still been kicked out of the game at the official’s discretion.
The bottom line is, Kronwall has gotten away with hits like this for far too long. It’s about time he faces some discipline for it, even if it’s only within this game tonight. Given how random the NHL’s supplemental discipline is, we can’t even speculate what Colin Campbell will do.
You guys see this shit yet over at puckdaddy?
Posted by AxeMaster9 on 05/22/09 at 09:49 PM ET
Gotta ride that pony.
Hosssssah.

“We’ll debate the hit for a while…”
“No we won’t. It was a bad call.”
Good one Milbury.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 05/22/09 at 09:49 PM ET
I don’t give a flying frack who scores… just so long as it’s a Red Wing.
Posted by calquake on 05/22/09 at 09:50 PM ET
The keys: puck possesion and NO TURNOVERS!
