I'm thrilled. Only because the Flames are finally doing the right thing... getting a better draft position.

[L78M22Rag]

Dan, in case you didn't see tonight's game...
Flames win!!!!!
Flames win!!!!!

They must be cheering in the streets and flipping over cars in Calgary.....Congrats.

Dan

[L78M22Rag]

No, you're mixing us up with Vancouver.

Cheers

[L78M22Rag]

Gotta admit... Jonathan Toews, Patrick Sharp and Duncan Keith are looking great on Canada's Olympic team in Sochi!

[Mr70]

Gotta admit,you're right.

[Vern B]

After Patrick Kane telling reporters today that Phil Kessel, from The Mapleleafs, is the best hockey player he ever played with he may have some sucking up to do to the above three, plus a bunch of other Blackhawks. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/haha.gif

[Mr70]

As a devoted Blackhawks fan,I see nothing wrong with Kaners statement cause Kessel really has been that good,as well as it's just a lil playful jab @ his fellow Canadian team mates.

...I think the press is the one making this more then it really is.

Somehow.....why do I think you'd give up one of your cars if all three were permenently wearing The Flames jerseys <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif

Dan

[L78M22Rag]

You got that right... that explains why the BlackHawks are my 2nd favorite NHL team.

I'm sure he didn't mean to slight his teammates and no question Kessel has been the MVP of the US team, probably the tournament, to this point.

Blackhawks @ Wild tonight...Lets finish this.

[69hurstSC]

Wild have not lost at home, and they will not lose tonight!

[bigsixman]

x2 ^^^^

[1969l78]

Hawks are 11-2 in close out games and average 4 goals in those games. It ends tonight!

If that is the case, you have nothing to worry about, right?

[Postsedan]

Hey Chad,

You hear that noise, it's your Fan......inside joke <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif

Dan

[chads454Ls6]

Dan,

All I hear is water running!

Good luck tonight. The Blackhawks are a great team, but don't forget what the wild did in 2003!

[Mr70]

First few minutes and SCORE!

[Mr70]

WOW!....Pittsburgh loses it all @ home to the Rangers...didn't see that coming.

[1969l78]

KANNER!!!!! Next stop.....Confrence Finals!

[Postsedan]

The Blackhawks are amazing <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif

[chads454Ls6]

Yep...Blackhawks are a very talented team. Congratulations!

[69hurstSC]

Congrats. The bounces went the way of the Hawks last night, but IMO Minnesota was the better hockey team this series.

[Mr70]

That's why they play the games. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif

[Postsedan]

Blackhawks take game one of the Western Finals vs. Kings <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

Dan

[x77-69z28]

I DONT want to play the Blackhawks!!!!!

[Mr70]

Helluva night here lastnight.

[anodyne33]

That 1st OT was insane. The east is so effed this year.

[travlnz28]

Dan </div></div>

What, no post when the Kings took the next three?

Good game last night but that first penalty against Doughty was certainly questionable. Great OT by both teams.

[Postsedan]

I see a Game 7 <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

Dan

[Mr70]

Coming back with a win,thanks mainly to Corey Crawford.

[Bill Pritchard]

Wow, on the brink of elimination, first with St. Louis, now with L.A.

[travlnz28]

We can beat Crawford. We can't seem to beat Kane. Looking forward to game 7!!

[Rixls6]

Announcement! Kane will now be the goaltender and whatever position they need him in. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif

[Mr70]

[Postsedan]

Nothing better than an NHL Game 7, especially when the Blackhawks are skating :-)

Dan

[Postsedan]

Great game 7, Congrats to the Kings - The Blackhawks have nothing to be ashamed of....so close to making to the Finals for the second year.

Dan

[bigsixman]

Great game 7 and series, I hope that the finals are as good.

[travlnz28]

So proud of my Kings and so much respect for the Blackhawks. That was an outstanding series.

[427freak]

Incredible Hockey! Go kings!

[Mr70]

One of the best Hockey games ever played.
Hats off to L.A.

[Canuck]

Awsome game, would have loved to see the Rangers and Hawks line up for the cup, two original six teams that have NEVER met for the cup playoff.

Paul

[Mr70]

We have em for @ least 8 more years. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif
http://blackhawks.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=725799

[travlnz28]

2 players consuming nearly one third of the salary cap (10.5 mil per year each). Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Just as a friendly reminder we got Richards and Carter after signing long-term contracts with the Flyers. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif

[x77-69z28]

Lucky bastard!

[anodyne33]

1/3 of your cap on 2 guys. Jesus.

[Mr70]

Jesus is next..

[travlnz28]

Even Number 8 Drew Doughty couldn't stay up with him!!

[Mr70]

This was absolutely spectacular here before their home opener Saturday night.

[L78M22Rag]

Did anyone happen to see the Hawks game tonight... vs the Flames?

[1969l78]

Hawks missed 3 wide open nets......Hiller played great stopping 49 of 50 shots! Can't win them all. Hawks will get them next time!

[L78M22Rag]

Add to that... the Flames blocked 30 shots and killed 12 minutes of Blackhawk power play time! I believe the Flames have the lowest cap in the league.

Your Hawks are ruining our chances of a high draft pick!

[Mr70]

Nice shutout last night,mainly due to this guy..

[Mr70]

Huge Accolades all around town for this man today.
http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/hoc...1117-story.html (http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/hockey/blackhawks/ct-pat-foley-blackhawks-bits-spt-1118-20141117-story.html)

Can't imagine a BlackHawks game without him or a more deserving person.

[1969l78]

Pat and Eddie are the best in the biz!

[travlnz28]

It's amazing how much a good play by play guy can enhance a game. As a kid growing up in Southern California I have been blessed with three of the best in their respective games. Vin Scully still going strong after 65 years with the Dodgers, the late Chick Hearn who called so many epic Laker games in their heyday, and of course Bob Miller, the 41 year voice of the Stanley Cup Champion (sorry I couldn't resist!) Los Angeles Kings who was inducted into the Hall in 2000. I swear a piece of my heart will leave my body when I can't listen to Vin and Bob anymore.

Congrats to Pat Foley and the Blackhawks organization. A class bunch.

[L78M22Rag]

Blackhawks vs Flames tonight...

[Mr70]

BlackHawks beat Flames lastnight.. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/laugh.gif

[L78M22Rag]

Was a close and entertaining game... Darn that Patrick Kane!

[1969l78]

Kaner!!!!

[L78M22Rag]

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: 1969l78</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Kaner!!!! </div></div>

Kaner... As in, Hellooooo Newman!

Heck of a 2nd OT win in Nashville lastnight,thanks to this soldier.

Bye bye Minnesota.......next. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif

<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

Dan

[1969l78]

If they keep playing like this series......they will be hard to beat! Go Hawks!

[Bill Pritchard]

Silly me....I watched game 4 vs. MN through the end of the 2nd period and then went to bed <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif

[Mr70]

116 minutes including 3 Overtimes for a WAHOO!

[Mr70]

What a nailbiter..
Hawks up 3-1,then the Ducks score 3 goals in 37 seconds...37 seconds!
Took two overtimes for the final score for a 5-4 Blackhawks win.
These 2 teams deserve to be right where they are.

[BJCHEV396]

Survival of the fittest for sure.In pro team sports is there any athletes tougher and more dedicated than hockey players.

[Bill Pritchard]

Go Hawks tonight!!!!!

[Bill Pritchard]

<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif

[Mr70]

ALRIGHT!.....Anaheim here we come.

[XXXGoldL34M20]

I really want to see an Original 6 Final.
Go Hawks &amp; Rangers <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

[Mr70]

How cool is that...all remaining 4 teams in same situation.

The officiating is making it so hard for me to watch these games.

[Postsedan]

My heart goes out to the Rangers as they were just eliminated by Tampa Bay. At least it will be a much shorter flight to Tampa Bay for the Blackhawks <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif

Dan

[Postsedan]

Bring on Tampa Bay <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

Dan

[XXXGoldL34M20]

Please beat Tampa Bay <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif Go Hawks Go

Great game tonight!

[x77-69z28]

Let's go original 6! Too many rangers on the Lightning for me to root for them.

[1969l78]

Hawks in 6.....I hope this is the year they win on home ice in front of there fans!

[Mr70]

It starts tonight...............Ground The Lightning!

[Bill Pritchard]

1 win down, 3 to go. I only got to see the third period of tonight's game....and it was a good one!

[Postsedan]

A great first win <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

I predict the Blackhawks win it in 6.....That will mean a Ticker Tape Parade on Wednesday June 17th, who is attending? <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

Dan

[Mr70]

This just in,Lord Stanleys Cup will be in our House Monday night.. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif

[x77-69z28]

Go original 6!!! If it couldn't be the Rangers, it should be an original 6 team.

[Mr70]

Here's to something that hasn't been done here @ home in 76 years tonight.

[Bill Pritchard]

We're watching intently in far east suburban Phoenix AZ.....looking good after two periods! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif

[Mr70]

77 Years!.....this town is on fire. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif

[Bill Pritchard]

A little ways into the 3rd period, score 1-0, Marilee says &quot;The other night you took the dog for a walk and while you were gone the Hawks scored a goal&quot;. So, 103 degrees or not, I took the dog for a walk and came home to see the score 2-0 <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif

Congrats to the Hawks!!!!!

Dan

[XXXGoldL34M20]

So glad an original six team won the cup. A true dynasty to have 3 cups in 6 years.
Way to go Hawks <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

Congratulations ChiTown!

[Mr70]

Celebration Parade to take place here shortly... <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif

[Mr70]

Coach Q's house here down the street last night..The crowd was 10X bigger then 2013 &amp; even 2010.
I was only able to drape his porch in extra strength two ply this year.

Second photo from 2013..

[Mr70]

So close Korea Times...so close.

[Bill Pritchard]

If the Bears did clinch the Stanley Cup, that would be a <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="text-decoration: underline">REAL</span></span> accomplishment! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/haha.gif

Good point -- It would probably be easier for them to get the cup than the Lombardy Trophy!

[Mr70]

The entire area celebrated with a massive parade &amp; rally @ Soldier Field today,so there is a Bears connection there Bill.


BTW~The keeper of Lord Stanleys Cup is named Phil Pritchard who looks a bit like you.

[x77-69z28]

Congrats Rick. Great series
