This needs to end tonight.
The Hawks can win this in seven if they have to. They do have a winning record on the road in this series afterall.
But we want to see the handshakes on home ice.
The Canucks are going to throw everything they have at the Hawks tonight - not their beer bottles and other trash though, that was already taken care of by their fans. Who do they think they are? Cub fans?
The Canucks aren't counting themselves out of it - Read this article that the boys at Nucks Misconduct found to confirm that.
However, those guys also have this to say:
you probably noticed the camera focusing on the face of Alex Burrows. Gone was that fire in his eyes from killing the Blues in Game 4. It was more of a dazed and confused look. A look of "what the hell is happening here?"
Burrows has been an interesting case in this series - He hasn't been much of a factor on the scorecard and was dropped from his normal pairing with the Swedish wonder twins. The Canucks had been trusting that line to give them a spark and so far we haven't seen it. Lets hope that continues.
Anyone else more nervous for this game than any other of the year? I'm a wreck. Add the usual sickness of a game day to the fact that I won't be able to watch the game with the rest of you and I really feel like puking. I have to wait til the 1:00AM replay of the game to watch it - it's torture.
The Hawks will have to settle their game down and play smart. They've been shaky when faced with a loud insane UC crowd and it'll only be worse tonight. The 8:00 puck drop only gives people more time to get good and shitfaced. Expect it to be insane - I'm insanely jealous of those that get to be there.
What else is there to say? The Hawks haven't been spectacular at home this series. They were minutes away from being down 3-1 in the series until JHC resurrected the team.
As we said on the radio show, if the Nucks are smart, the game will be all about the trap. But how long can you play that style and how much can you fully commit to it when the season is on the line? Is someone going to step up and try to be a hero for the Nucks? Sundin? Burrows? Thing 1 or Thing 2?
We know Luongo is easily capable of stealing two games - can he stonewall a team that's gotten their fair share past him?
We'll see friends, we'll see.
It's right outside your door
Lets Go Hawks

Vancouver is hard to predict because they are so schizophrenic
I would think they will come out with strong intensity on defense under the strategy of trying to win the game in 2-1 or 1-0 type fashion. Key to this game for the Blackhawks is Marty Havlat in my opinion. Havlat is the type of skilled offensive player who can throw a monkey wrench into Vancouver’s best laid defensive plans. If Marty has a good game then I think the Hawks win.
I miss the usual headings of gamethreads, like this:

Conversation over.

Impressed
With both teams and coaches’ lack of whining and focusing on their needs to step their games up.
Can’t wait til tonight.
Let’s go Hawks!
If I can't be a good example, I'll just be a horrible warning
I feel good about tonight.
Still nervous, though.
All you going to the game…
BE. LOUD.
Got more soul than a sock with a hole.
Damn nervous
I had zero nervousness going into the series because my expectations were low. Now that it is within our grasp my nervousness ramped up to DefCon 1.

I’m posting this kind of early, so there might be more showing up later. I’ll check again in a few hours, but if anyone else wants to keep a watch, this is where new feeds will pop up.
Beer:
Pabst Blue Ribbon
You guys knew I was going cheap on this one, as inspired by this conversation. I’ve already posted my favorite cheap beer as a special “Fuck you” to St. Louis fans, and although it’s been a while since I posted it, I don’t like repeating beers on here. Pabst has done a great job of viral marketing and catering to the “hipster” crowd, and you can’t really drink a PBR in a bar (unless you’re a factory worker) without being dismissed as a hipster. I just think it was good marketing. PBR recognized that the “blue collar” image was popular amongst college-aged kids and decided to capitalize on it through creative marketing. Despite all the marketing and stereotypes associated with it, it’s actually a pretty decent beer, especially for the price. I’d take it over most BMC products (other than High Life) in a heartbeat. I like the inspiration of the blue collar, working class image for tonight’s game, as it’s time to get some work done. We need to muscle through this series and get it over with.
Go Hawks!
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
Hey now, fine intro
for the last home game of the year for you good delusional folks. Great season you had, you can hold your heads high right there at crotch level.
See you at game time,
as usual
FUCK THE BLACKHAWKS
Dum spiramus tuebimur
who is that clown?
And why does he feel the need to troll a hawks blog when his team was unceremoniously rocked by the team we are currently attempting to close out? Seriously? Get a life much?
I’m following mjthor’s lead, you know troll the other team’s blog to get a rise. Actually I like the chirping but I realize some have thin skins and miss most of the humor.
Dum spiramus tuebimur
You got a feed LOL
Hey, at least if gives you something to rassle with while you wait for the puck drop.
Last 60 mins of home hockey, at least enjoy it.
Dum spiramus tuebimur
See, the thing is, we're not even playing your team tonight.
And you’re right, I troll other blogs all the time. Before, during and after every game I make sure to go over to Nucks Misconduct and give them a good “FUCK THE CANUCKS” post.
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
ya know, if it wasn’t for you bright folks letting me know the Blues were out, I’d be spending hours looking for the Blues on TV tonight. Thank you for being so helpful.
Dum spiramus tuebimur
You don't understand why we're informing you of that? Yikes.
Don’t you have better things to do with your time? Like fuck your cousin?
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
What time does mommy take away your computer priviledges?
9pm? I bet that’s the time you have to brush your teeth and get ready for bed. Awwwww. Do you still wear footy pajamas?
that's what she said
Please correct your title
I think you meant to say “ass-clown”
If I can't be a good example, I'll just be a horrible warning
How is that relevant to, well, anything?
The fans don’t choose the goal song, and a good chunk of us don’t even like it. And if you’re going to make some typical SLGT homophobic jab, save it. Nobody wants to hear that garbage here.
Troll us all you want, but save the homophobic bullshit.
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
I’m not going for the homo angle, I’m honestly wanting to know what song it is and why no one wants to talk about it, Swear. Now I sense the reason why. Thank you.
Dum spiramus tuebimur
Well, I just figured with you and your favorite blog's reputation that's the angle you were taking.
Here. First google hit. Seriously.
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE

So jacked up for this
I had to sleep through all of today to prevent myself from thinking about the game (and thus puking in the sink).
Nervous?
Yes. Sick to my stomach. I am trying to quell my uneasiness with unhealthy amounts of spinach dip.
I will have to leave for work before the game is over, so I am not sure where/if I will watch the end. If it is a close, tense one, and I see no reason for it to NOT be, I may stop at Bannerman’s in Bartlett or maybe that place on Lies & County Farm in Carol Stream.
Or maybe I will stop at my brother’s. I don’t know. At least I have contingency plans.
I like boobs.
Who owns Bannerman's?.... (OWNS!...OWNS!)
Is that really Murray’s joint? More Mastodon! Let’s do it again!
Victim was found murdered with a Chelsea Dagger.
10 minutes until work is over
Then it’s my 45min ride home to the sweet-fist-pumping-getting-jacked up tunes of the Led Zep II album…to prepare the mindset for tonight’s affair.
My butterflies are beginning to wreak havoc 3 1/2 hours before game time. And I love it. As I’m sure you all do…even if puking is a result of that.
LET’S. GO. HAWKS!!!
"What the hell, let's review it." - Dale Tallon
"They are!" - Pat Foley
"What a farce." - Dale Tallon
As simplistic as it sounds...
I really think the first goal tonight is huge. if the Hawks get it, and the place turns into an insane asylum, I think they’ll go ahead and get the second, and it very well may be over then. If the Canucks get it, suddenly they might not shrivel into the fetal position quite as quickly as I think they might. If I were Q, I would start Eager and Burish no matter who the Canucks have out there, just to hear some boards crunching in the first minute and keep the crowd baying for blood.
I’ll be at my usual post outside Gate 3 peddling the Indian (until possible arrest). Stop by and say hello and we’ll try and calm our nerves together.
www.secondcityhockey.com
I agree. I doubt the Nucks shrivel, though, and more than the first goal I’m hoping we move the puck well and establish even just average success with the forecheck and puck cycling, goal or not. Crisp passes that connect on sticks will be a huge boost of confidence for this team that sometimes stumbles with traps. We need to spend time in their zone early.
Also, the Nucks are going to be hitting everything that moves and shooting whenever they get the chance. We need to match them physically, and we need to get to loose pucks and get a good first pass.
Oh geez, I have crazy butterflies now that Pitt/Wash is on.
So that's the second time I've seen you mention the arrest thing
Have they been giving you trouble lately?
Got more soul than a sock with a hole.
I haven't been this nervous in years
I’ve been feeling sick to my stomach with anxiety for 24 hours straight. I could vomit someone into oblivion right now.
that's what she said
I'll drink to that!
not the vomit though. Wouldn’t drink that…
Grow one!

I am borderline pitting out right now.
And that NEVER happens to me! I want these kids to win so badly. No one deserves it more than this team.

Hyper-nervous
I just keep google news searching “chicago blackhawks” over and over expect early results from the game to somehow be posted online. Then i just read the same 6 or 7 vancouver sun articles about how crappy the sedin twins have played or how dustin buyfglien is “beefy”.
I'm bummed...
I’m stuck in the lab, running a subject, until 7:00 PM PST…
Straight to the pub from here!
Go Hawks!!!
let's go hawks!!!!
finish off the nucks tonight!!!!!!!!!!
Peaking early?
Shit… I’ve had the jitters all day and now I’m 5 beers in with over an hour ‘til game time. I’ll have to eat something and have a shot of tequila before my next pint. Hopefully this works. If you see elated drunken jibberish from me later don’t judge me. It’ll mean we won. C’mon HAWKS!!!!!!
"Call Detroit, tell dem... BULLSHIT!"
I can’t believe some of you are so nervous. The Hawks have outshot and outplayed the Canucks for most of the series. As a Canucks fan I’m nervous because:
-of the above
-the shitzophrenic play of the Canucks as one of your commenters put it.
-lack of discipline
-lack of heroes and guys stepping it up.
-Luongo is not Luongod right now
Either way, may the best team win. If the Canucks lose, I have to post a “Hawks Praise” piece on here tomorrow. Betting sucks (if you lose)
Heh
It is almost in the blood of a Chicago sports fan to be pessimistic. I spent most of my life outside Chicago and I still picked it up :)
I am not that nervous about this game. The Hawks can effectively deal with the Canuks trap and I think they are the (slightly) better team everywhere but — and it is a big but — goalie. Even if they lose tonight, I know they can win game seven. I was more nervous before the fourth game — going down three to one would have effectively ended the series.

or not happen, whichever is called for.

Wow. What a game (and third period by Kane). Do you guys ever stay down when you’re behind in a game??
Congrats guys. Thanks for taking out the Canucks as well.
I figured we'd have a lot of visitors tonight.
As long as you’re rooting for the ’Hawks…
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
Grew up a Cubs fan since DC didn’t have a team, so I cheer for all Chicago teams when they’re not playing DC ones.
I’ll be in Chicago next week for 2 days, hopefully the Hawks will be at home so I can see them kill Detroit!!

Ah, okay. We used to live over by Euclid and AH Road
but our parents moved to San Antonio (fucking Texas!) in August of ‘05. We’ve got a condo over by Lake Arlington now, though, which is where Bwana is living, and I’ll be there in just over a week.
How old is your son? I’m assuming if you’re on the AH/BG border he was a Bison.

He’s 24. We’re in Mill Creek for the past 13 years. Visited San Antonio, nice place to visit, but wouldn’t want to live there. ;)

Whats that Willie?
" That’s his thing, he got a gift on a turnover on one in front of the net and the other one was just a power play and it was kind of a rebound that went right to him. That’s kind of his game, he’s kind of like [ Sidney] Crosby that way. Crosby will stand off to the side of the net and not really be involved in things and get a lucky rebound and put it in the net. He kind of has that puck luck.
" Like I said, I think he got a gift on both goals and he was really quiet, I thought, and for the most part their team was really quiet. He’s a fine player, but I think where he is going to do his damage is on the power play. He is not a guy who is really going to hurt us even strength, so that is kind of where we have to be aware of him." So there. Told of Mitchell’s comments, Kane wasn’t exactly what you would call devastated. After all, he’s probably been called worse than a Sidney Crosby clone.
They wanted a shootout!?

…are definitely a classy bunch! Best of luck next season boys!
Got to feel for Luongo in his post-game press-conference, his tears of letting his team down definitely strike a chord on how devestating the finality of the playoffs are.
In NO WAY did Luongo tonight or any other night since his arrival in Vancouver EVER let his team down this guy is world-class and is a shoe-in for Canada in 2010 Olympic Games!!!
I am just speechless
WOW. Sitting in the Caribbean watching with a bunch of Canucks…. Just a special win….I can’t wait for the next round… might need another vacation!
Outside of being in the UC
I think you found yourself in the best possible place to watch that game.
Got more soul than a sock with a hole.
Well gentlemen...
I’m still too excited to sleep, but I’m going to try and at least lay down, which is probably a good thing.
Did anyone else have to cheer quietly in their home because of a sleeping wife, baby, etc? My wife was asleep in the bedroom by 10p, so needless to say I had to whisper-scream and stomp quietly around the living room after #7 of the evening (hell, I did it for 5 and 6 too)

I haven't been this excited since 1992!
It simply remarkable! In my heart of hearts I always knew the Hawks would come back as one of the best in the NHL even through the tough years!

We have just witnessed one of the greatest games
in Blackhawk history, and for sure the best in my 27 year lifetime.
Sorry I couldn’t participate with some of you who I’ve ‘watched’ the games with all year. I don’t have the energy to relive the roller coaster on the comments right now, but I’m sure everyone felt the same way I did.
If only this wasn’t a Monday, with an 8 hour meeting to follow on Tuesday. Still, what a game, what a team, what a season this has been. Many thanks to the guys running this blog for getting this online Hawk community going to make it all the better.
I want Detroit now. Go Hawks!
Got more soul than a sock with a hole.
Wow
What a game. What a series. What a season (so far).
Watched out in the garage with my dad, brothers, and a couple of friends. Unreal. Emotional roller coaster. I’ve been staying away from game threads for the last few due to the bad luck I had been having when posting heavily. Seems like I might have to keep that one going. Really enjoyed going back and reliving the game through the comments. I think my computer is going to have a new folder full of all the save photoshops from mjthor. Brilliant work my man. Also, mad props go to Forklift from HOCKEENIGHT with the Canuck golf club picture.
Who else is gonna go crazy now that we have to wait about 5 days to play again?
You and I are gonna live forever
Still cant believe it
After many many hours of drinking (and celebrating) I still cant come down from this high Im on right now. The Hawks make me so proud, I cant even put it down into words. Alls I have to say is BRING ON THE SCUM!!!!! Watching Kane and Toews hoisting Lord Stanley will be the absolute perfect ending to an unbelievable season.! GO HAWKS!!!
DAG GUMMIT!
Wow...just wow
That game made no sense in the context of that series. I admit I was hanging my head when it was 5-4. Fortunately, it was quickly 5-5. I can’t say enough about Kaner. His third goal was a thing of beauty…moving left to right with a hard backhand. I texted my wife (she’s working) that I could watch that goal every day for the rest of the year and never get tired of seeing it.
I guess in the end the Nucks decided they were going to try to go toe-to-toe with the Hawks on offense. I thought Sundin had an outstanding game and so did those bastard weirdo twins, but in the end, the Hawks had too much in line for line. Great series, great result. Bring on anyone, we’re ready!
By the way.....
Not a big Mastodon fan, some stuff they do is ok, just not that into it……….but I have been rocking All That Remains and Chimaira, thats whats kept me going in the mornings at work and before the games. I recommend some serious jamming before the Conference Finals start
DAG GUMMIT!
drunk....
wish i was back home with you guys…people kept looking at me at the bar like I was crazy while I was losing my mind through this game and when we won…go hawks!!!!
Happy. Exhausted. Sore throat.
What an insanely awesome game. I found out that I’m really too short for SRO, but I was able to find a spot where I could see most of the ice, except for the goal on my end. CSN is replaying the game tomorrow afternoon at 3, so I’ll have to watch and be able to see all the pretty stuff I missed.

I’m here to tender my congrats. You do know that I’m doing this under duress, no Blues fan would ever capitulate ANYTHING to the Blackhawks. EVER!!
Enjoy the win,
oh and FUCK DETROIT.
