Hawks feed tonite on Center Ice. A Hawk home game, no less. Even for us Wing fans, that’s good to see. Game intro focused completely on the four game streak. Hawks have cumulatively outscored Detroit 6-1 in the third periods through the first four games.
Robert Lang’s hair appears to be impeccably coifed.
Game previews can be found at On The Wings and Third Man In.
National Anthems in Chicago are the best of any arena in the continental 48…if this rivalry ever gets renewed it would be something very good for Gary’s NHL.

At least it looks like the Hawks are interested in playing hockey this period.

Okay, 10 mins is a stretch, I’m revising to 8

Downey’s got 4:21 now Okie. He may reach ten.

Might be 10 minutes if Detroit scores another couple of goals this period, though.
Chicago has settled down and is being much more competitive.

Great PP—no goal—still, gr8 control

What was a little guy like Rafalski doing in front of the net on the power-play?
He’ll get squished.

Two things:
Third period’s going to be a barnburner.
And I want to believe Roger Clemens. I do. But it’s hard to when he won’t maintain eye contact with Mike Wallace for more than five seconds.

Goal with 8 seconds left in the period,dang it, I was gonna try to snooze during the third period.

“And I want to believe Roger Clemens. I do. But it’s hard to when he won’t maintain eye contact with Mike Wallace for more than five seconds.”
But if you’ll compare pictures of his eyeballs when he started his career, to pictures of his eyeballs a few seasons ago….

It’s just the vitamins! B-12 will do that, honest! And lidocaine! And a really solid workout!

I’m betting the last 5 minutes will be the sort that gets you so wound up, you can’t sleep for 2 hours after the game.
Posted by dougie on 01/06/08 at 09:00 PM ET
Dougie, I’m getting a bad feeling about this one. I’m just sayin’.
Posted by IwoCPO from Sunny San Diego, bitches on 01/06/08 at 09:02 PM ET
A two goal lead going into the third has been our undoing a few times this year. And to think, I was talking about doing my nails, ahem.
Posted by dougie on 01/06/08 at 09:05 PM ET
This one will be fine. We are a different team now since the beginning of the season.
Posted by Tuba Guy from Royal Oak, MI on 01/06/08 at 09:05 PM ET
The back-to-back games just seem to kill this team in the 3rd.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 01/06/08 at 09:05 PM ET
I had a bad feeling before the game started.
Chicago just gets up for Detroit as they do for no other team.
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 01/06/08 at 09:06 PM ET
Chicago has no idea that they’re supposed to deflate after being down 3-0.
Posted by IwoCPO from Sunny San Diego, bitches on 01/06/08 at 09:09 PM ET
Where is the script, I’m sure that the hawks should have had a 5 on 3 by now.
Posted by HockeyTownTodd on 01/06/08 at 09:09 PM ET
Yeah, what Tuba Guy and Gabriel said! Chief, you need to go back in and edit out some of our last posts. If word gets out that we weren’t totally smaug, arrogant, and condescending at all times, well, that might not be a good thing.
Posted by dougie on 01/06/08 at 09:11 PM ET
I meant smug, Smaug was a dragon
Posted by dougie on 01/06/08 at 09:12 PM ET
Roger that Dougie. But don’t forget dismissive, my personal favorite.

Chicago play by play guy:
“Samuelsson’s a strong man. He wears number 37 which is why they call him the mule.”
Overall, they’ve been good…except for that.
Posted by IwoCPO from Sunny San Diego, bitches on 01/06/08 at 09:20 PM ET
Without exception, every Wing in their zone stopped skating…that’s an ugly sight.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 01/06/08 at 09:22 PM ET
Whew…we keep the divisional lead for at least one more day.
Damn…smug again.
Nice to get that little gorilla off the back for a while. Night all.
Posted by IwoCPO from Sunny San Diego, bitches on 01/06/08 at 09:29 PM ET
That was one of the strangest looking endings ever.
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 01/06/08 at 09:30 PM ET
Why? Because the Wings actually won this game?
My 8 year old son asked, “Why do the blackhawks have a picture of Chris Chelios on thier jerseys?”
Posted by cementslinger from Midland MI on 01/07/08 at 01:28 PM ET
Why? Because the Wings actually won this game?
That too. 
But mostly because there were a couple of missed empty nets (Chelios I can understand, but Datsyuk, too?) and then everyone on both teams was skating around like the proverbial chickens with their heads cut off.
But with a lot less blood, fortunately. That would have been messy.
