And don't forget you've got 2 teams out east that can hang with any team.Indifference71 said:
Yeah, he's pretty much a physical freak. The guy never gets tired. If Hawks end up winning the cup I could absolutely see him winning the Conn Smythe. Gotta get past Anaheim first...Saturday is going to be tough. Can't wait.HesCalledDyer said:
For Keith to have a game of that caliber last night is just unreal. Down to 4 1/2 defensemen, he is the freakin key to our success in this series. He plays smart, he's quick, and he eats up ice time for breakfast. If we make it to the final, he's got a terrific argument for the Conn Smythe, win or lose, imo. There aren't many d-men in the league that can do for their team what he does for us.Indifference71 said:Man, how good is Duncan Keith??? I love watching him play. Assisted on the first 3 goals in a 4 minute span. Got a little too close for comfort when Ducks cut it to 3-2, but Hawks did what they needed to do and got it to a game 7. Can't believe we have to wait until Saturday night. Should be fun.

I'm sure glad Q, Toews, & Co won't be underestimating the Lightning as much as all of my fellow Hawks fans are. This is a damn good team that has ousted the Atlantic Division champs & Presidents Trophy winners in consecutive rounds, finished the season 6 points better than Chicago, and was one of only 4 teams with fewer than 10 home losses during the season. It's not gonna be a cake walk. Go Hawks!Star Lake 00 / Pittsburgh 03 / State College 03 / Bristow 03 / Cleveland 06 / Camden II 06 / DC 08 / Pittsburgh 13 / Baltimore 13 / Charlottesville 13 / Cincinnati 14 / St. Paul 14 / Hampton 16 / Wrigley I 16 / Wrigley II 16 / Baltimore 20 / Camden 22 / Baltimore 24 / Raleigh I 25 / Raleigh II 25 / Pittsburgh I 250

Should I go for the $800 Standing room only tix?
Or the $5000.00 tix?

Crazy ass prices. A couple friends of mine have season seats. They sold Game 3 and it's going to pay for most of next season's tickets. I still regret the day I told them that I didn't want to go in with them on season tickets in 2009....I really blew that one.SPEEDY MCCREADY said:Game 3

Bottom line, for me anyways, is the fact that it just seems like it would be one big pain in the ass. You obviously cant go to all the games. Now you are stuck trying to sell those extras. I am thinking you are going to end up eating a fair share of tickets. Not worth the aggravation. Not in my eyes.
But yeah, it would be nice to go see a Stanley Cup final game, here in Chicago.

Being able to sell everything online definitely makes it a lot easier, but still a pain in the ass. My friends with the Hawks tix prob go to half the home games in regular season and sell the rest. Depending on how far the Hawks go, they usually don't end up paying for much out of pocket since they make so much damn money on the tix they sell.
I've been on the Bears and Hawks waiting lists for years.....I think I'd prob only pull the trigger on the Hawks. Too bad it will prob be 2045 when my turn comes up on that list...0 -

The kid next to me, and his wife, had purchased season tickets. Upper deck, 3rd row, actually real nice seats. He was telling me he was only getting $8-$10 on stubhub, for the games he couldn't attend. I took down his phone number and told him I would get in touch, if I needed tickets.
He is taking a beating. But of course with warm weather, and a decent team on the field, he should be able to get close to face for those games he cant attend.Take me piece by piece.....

haha, you didn't watch much, or any of the eastern conference playoff games did you? this tampa team was pretty damn surgical against the red wings, canadians, rangers -- three elite teams in that conference. no one should hand the cup to the blackhawks just yet.SPEEDY MCCREADY said:Hawks in 4
