Chicago Pays For Their Play

from Damien Cox of The Spin at the Toronto Star,
The Hawks ruined their own chances by trying to get chippy, the same approach that worked so beautifully against Vancouver in the Western Conference semi-final because the Canucks were so very willing to engage in a tit-for-tat battle.
But not the Wings. They just won’t. So when the Hawks tried to get in Detroit’s face - “scare ‘em off the puck” as Jonathan Toews put it - the Wings just ignored the nonsense as they always do and let the Hawks beat a steady path to the penalty box. The Wings then killed Chicago on the power play, and Mike Babcock kept putting his best guys out at extra strength late in the game as if to tell the Hawks if they wanted to play cheapshot hockey they were going to suffer for it.

As Uncle Mike said after Friday’s game when he was asked about the possibility of the Hawks seeking retribution for Kronner’s hit on Havlat: “We’d love to go on the power play.” And that’s exactly what they did. Stupid Hawks.
To me, no Hawks was dumber on Sunday that Versteeg. It was like there was cold beer and free pizza in the penalty box and he couldn’t wait to get back in there. Oh, and I wonder if the overpaid redhead thinks it was “gutles” of Versteeg to challenge Happy to a fight. Stupid Versteeg. Stupid Hawks.
