    Go Wings! Any predictions on how many games it'll take the Wings to win? I personally think it'll be a sweep.

    I don't think that it is out of the realm of possibility that the Hawks will take one at home. But I'd be surprised if this one goes more than five.

    The scary thing about the Redwings is that they are progressing through the playoffs without any real goal support from the big three of Hank, Pavel, and Hossa. Plus Holmstrom is snakebit up front too. I could be (and probably am) biased, but I don't think the hockey gods have been on our side so far but luckily our mortals are finding ways.

    Detroit has yet to play their best hockey any yet they continue to win.

    Well,Zetterberg is off to a fine start with 16 points (7 goals),but yes Datsyuk,hossa,and Holmstrom are struggling.
    But the unsung hero is Franzen.It is not much of a surprise to Wings fans and we all saw what he did last playoff season(13 goals).
    This guy is a superstar.
    Osgood andCleary are the other ones.
    It told alot last game in ot when Samuelsson intercepted the Campbell pass and fed the puck to Hudler,Patrick Kane was right beside him.Samuelsson took off and when he scored,Kane was just crossing the blueline.
    I don't care how tired you are at least make an effort to catch him.
    He's only 20.

    GO WINGS!!

    go blackhawks :D

    This rivalry is only going to get so much better.
    Watching the game last night and seeing how young the Blackhawks are... man, if they keep this nucleus together, in two or three years, this team is going to be the talk of the Windy City.

    I love that this rivalry is just going to keep getting better. It's amazing how young the Hawks are. The guys that are 26-27 are considered the "veterans". Hopefully they can keep the big pieces together. I think the Hawks will win game 3....after that, I dont know. All I know is that I love all the playoff experience these young guys are getting.

    Watch the beginning of the play, before it breaks out. Patrick Kane is in Samuelsson's back pocket. He was right there.
    People can say what they want about Detroit's defensive forwards, but if that were Datsuyk or Zetterberg in Kane's place, there is no way Samuelsson gets a shot off. Kane gave up.

    Not saying the goal was Kane's fault, but I think from watching the video, he could have taken Samulesson out of the play. If that happened, Filpula still might have scored, or at least forced Khabibulan (sp) to make a big save.

    My friends and I were flipping out when we saw the replay of the game-winning goal and Kane pretty much gave up. He can be a pretty frustrating player to watch. He is so skilled offensively, but he plays so soft. I know he's a small guy, but most of time he plays like a complete pussy. But there's no excuse for just giving up on that play. You gotta skate.

    Wow nice catch.

    He'll get it. The new NHL won't allow for that kind of lazy play. It's just too fast. He's too talented to not make the adjustments. I was kind of hard on him when I was talking to my friends as well. And then I get to thinking, "Geez man, he's only 20!" I was way more useless than him when I was 20. He'll change his game and continue to get better. At some point, I think the Hawks are going to see this series as what it is likely shaping to be- some great experience and a chance to learn from the youthful mistakes.

    I know man, its crazy to think that this kid is only 20. I remember the type of shit I was doing when I was 20 and Kane is out there scoring hat tricks to clinch a series in the 2nd round of the playoffs. He'll get it eventually. And I know Quennville won't stand for any play like that. He doesn't mess around.

    No Datsyuk for game 3? :o
    I know he hasn't done to much production wise,but......
    This loss will be felt.
    Possibly the opening Chicago has been waiting for.

    Is he out for sure? I heard yesterday that he had a sore foot, but still expected to play.

    I'm almost more tired about hearing 'how young the Hawks are and how good they'll be in a few years' than anything/everything about that little cherry picker Crosby.

    Hang your hat on young potential, Chicago. How'd that 'Baby Bulls' things ever work out for you?

    Another goal last night (league-leading 13th of the playoffs). Not bad for a 'little cherry picker'...
    I smile, but who am I kidding...

    Game time decision.
    Ville Leino has been called up and will replce him if datsyuk can't go.
    He blocked a shot,it looked like off the top of his (left ?) foot.
    I saw him leave the ice immediately but nothing was mentioned on the telly.

    Well, they're already in the Western Conf. Finals with the youngest team in the league, so its working out pretty well for the Hawks so far.

    Hockey is so funny about how they will never release actual injuries during the playoffs. It makes you wonder how many guys are still playing hurt, but you never hear about it. These guys are tough.
