And as I’ve always said, the Cup belongs in the West – so good luck to you.

You have reason to be bitter and angry…as have we for so many years. We hope your day never comes, but if it does, you’ll deserve and we’ll understand.

I still had a lot of questions in the finale. and it wasn’t just confusing…it was also a cop-out. Kind of like the Wizard of Oz or Alice in Wonderland, where it’s just like “oh, its a dream, cool.” Fuck that! I’d rather have freaky time travel and unexplained phenomena than “oh, you’re actually dead, I get it”

Jack dies

My advice is start wherever you left off, watch all the seasons and you’ll understand it.
But don’t expect them to answer any of the crazy questions. Pretty big cop out by the writers there.
They don’t explain the significance of the numbers on the hatch, the remains of a statue that has a four toed foot, the smoke monster. There was way too much left up to interpretation. I wanted answers goddamnit.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, EVERYONE!
There’s too many replies and I’m too despondent at the moment to type out to each and every one, so let this serve as a reply to all of you.
Thanks for taking (most times, anyway) my attempted humor in stride.
Thanks for being, what I though an original six team should be about.
Thanks for taking it easy on me at the end of my beloved Sharks’ journey this year.
I sincerely wish you all the best in the Finals. You have an excellent team and there’s absolutely no reason you shouldn’t whip the Flyers or Habs.
I’ll follow along and maybe pop in from time to time…

This isn't even a decision.
back in the day, we’d hangout with the Roenick era crowd when they came to town. Roenick/Murphy/Graham were great. Graham even bought us drinks. Chelios, et al. were sticks in the mud. I’d pick Eager/Burish/Ladd any day.
Roenick et al used to get into fights almost every time they were in the bar I bartended at downtown
The cops would take the other guys down to the station. They would Roenick and company into another squad car or cars, drive them around the block into the alley, knock on our back door, and let them back in. Good old days.

Honestly:
The feeling in the rink after Buff’s goal was pure joy. But the even better moment? When the ref pulled back his no-goal call after a chat with Toronto, in the moments before, you could hear a pin drop.
Yes: just about everybody knew it’d be a good goal — in a breach of procedure, the UC staff actually managed to show the play before a ruling. But it was almost cartoonish — everybody shutting up and slightly leaning forward. And the eruption after that was just that much more loud for it.
After the game — it was a somewhat muted roar, tinged with a bit of anti-climatical indifference, and a bit of disbelief. But it was still good. Was it good for you?

better than '92
that team was hot, this team is on the threshold of greatness.
Gentlemen! I have invented...this thing!
Different
that team with the roll they were on felt like something that had potential, but you knew they were going up against Super Mario and all of that skill. And not to take anything away from Edmonton 92 but we spent all year this season keeping an eye on the Sharks and knowing that they were possibly the best team in the league. What just happened is special.
by Scott13 on May 23, 2010 10:59 PM CDT up reply actions 1 recs
The other thing that's different
in 1992 this was still Michael Jordan’s town and the Hawks making the SCF was an afterthought to the Bulls’ repeat chances. Jordan had an epic series against the Trailblazers including the shrug game where he couldn’t miss a three. The Hawks were getting some attention but nothing like what you’re seeing now where all the other Chicago teams have politely conceded the stage by being completely awful. This is probably the first uniquely Hawks moment for the City since the 70’s.
I know its a little early to worry about the next round, but hear me out
I agree 100% with your comment. We have tons of potential, and during the regular season, it felt like only maybe 4 or 5 teams could compete with us. I would have said the Caps, Sharks, SCUM, and probably the Devils would be tough because these are teams that we had a hard time playing this year, or with the Wings, last year.
We just swept, in my opinion, the best team in the playoffs. And it was a great series! Now, the very realistic expectation is to beat the #7 or 8 seed from the east. Back to the ’92 comment, it feels like the tables are turned. No disrespect to the Habs or the Flyers, but I get the feeling that they will be a hell of a lot more worried about us than we are of them.
They will come in with nothing to lose, which worries me. I just hope we come out in the SCF (pinch me!) and TAKE IT! We have to be aggressive and let them know they are playing OUR game!
Let’s Go Hawks!
by blackhawkeyes on May 23, 2010 11:19 PM CDT up reply actions
7 or 8 seed in the finals
so either had to beat 2, possibly 3 higher seeds to get there. They’re there for a reason, so I take nothing for granted. The reason I picked Hawks in 5 over Sharks was because we were playing possibly the (2nd) best team in the playoffs. Low seeds worry me with this team – but it is the SC finals, so hopefully they wouldn’t take even the Girl Scouts lightly.

they must have shown the replay on TV
cuz a muffled cheer went round (I’m guessing it started in the skyboxes- tvs and mouths full of complimentary pretzels.) The guy next to me got a text from someone at home saying it was a goal.
THEN, they put it on the Jumbotron and the price went nuts.
Gentlemen! I have invented...this thing!
I loved how it was so loud the players couldn't hear the whistles
I probably wouldv’e lost my freakin’ mind at the end.
They waited a minute or two before they showed the replay at the UC
The board was just showing that “under review” card. But a bunch of us were getting texts—my daughter texted “it was in by a mile” and people started passing the word. Then when they finally showed it we all knew—I was wondering whether they were looking to see if it was kicked in ’cause they sure took their sweet time with Toronto. Then—the place exploded.

I don’t know where/when it started but the theme is always
I’m a ______! (shark)
I’m a __________! (shaaaark)
Suck my diiiiick!
I’m a __________! (shaaaark)
Maybe Bwana or someone from FtF knows. Is The Singing Shark the original? I’ve seen versions of this all over the internet and have always been curious as to where it started and why.

watched all the ECF games and
it’s seemed a little bit slower. in the 3 games the flyers won they have slowed the pace down and used their size. montreal is definitely a faster team then philly but we’ve contained them very well and the D has done a great job of clearing any rebounds that leights has given up, just like the hawks with niemi
Yeah, I like two teams, get over it!
No, I have absolutely no clue what I would do if they meet in the finals!
Go Flyers and Hawks!

I thought that was cute.
Gentlemen! I have invented...this thing!
Enjoying the moment
in a place that knows nothing about hockey. I’ve been posting from our vacation place in Savannah GA for the past few days. Got in a from a round of golf with the better half, went to the clubhouse to find a couple of people watching the Georgia Tech/Oregon women’s softball tournament on ESPN. WTF?! There’s a hockey game on, people! So that game ends and the bartender dons a confused face when I say the hockey game on NBC. He turns it on, and the place goes quiet. I don’t think these people have ever seen a hockey game (guess the Thrashers don’t do so well down here).
Hawks are down 1-0, then 2-0 after the Marleau shorty. I’m miffed, but not disheartened. They’ll get them back. Rest of bar sort of paying attention to this mysterious sport on the TV. Sho nuff, the reviewed goal play occurs…they show the replay and a number of patrons blurt out “that’s a goal!” Right on, folks! But it’s still relatively quiet in the place – that is until Bolly let’s loose with the game tying flip, and in my exuberance I yell “HE SCORES!”… and the rest of the bar stares at my like I’ve flipped my lid. My wife buries her head in her hands, as if to say “I have no idea who this asshole is”.
Suffice it to say, when the Buff scored, I’ll sort of held back, but couldn’t contain my joy when Versteeg! put in the empty netter.
Moral of the story…don’t expect any pro hockey around Savannah GA any time soon.
LET’S GET THAT PIECE OF HARDWARE BOYS!

Best part about this whole Hawks winning in GA is

From someone who lives in South Carolina, solidariity.
I had to explain to my local sports bar this afternoon that yes, there was a high-stakes matchup occurring, and yes, I really did want to watch hockey.
The irony is that once I started watching, the rest of the bar started gathering around. And by the time that Buff scored that GWG, I dare say I’d converted ten or so hockey fans in Columbia, SC. Heart of the hockey-dead South, but they’ll get interested if someone else is there to be interested with them.

I've been lucky in Mississippi
The sports bar in Oxford, in the heart of SEC country, has had every Blackhawks game on at least 4+ TV’s. One of their bartenders is a Chicago native and is always reppin’ the Indian Head. I was there for Game 3 and Ole Miss had a baseball game being broadcast at the same time. Every time the Hawks scored everyone around looked at the baseball game and looked at me like an idiot until I pointed out I was watching a different TV. After that game I saw someone else irockin’ a ’Hawks jersey and have gotten some comments on my cap a few times.

although it was kinda rough, you guys did seem to play with heart. I think it’s great considering what your up against.
It was very rough
After our first series it got to the point of where you had to swallow your pride and basically plan for the future and help the younger guys out to develop a core for the team to continue on. When you get down to 2 lines and 2 of those guys have never played ice or played very limited amounts you can’t get frustrated with the results. I’ve graduated this year so my days are done but they’re supposedly bringing in some talent from the Junior/Midget ranks for next season that seems to be promising so you might want to give it a shot again if you can handle it, haha.

Strong forward, a wide load
He makes it hard to see
I give him the cross-check
And slash him in the knee
It won’t work, he stays put

Can’t we put him in cage
Don’t stand, don’t stand so, don’t stand so close to me
Big Buff he’s humongous
He makes me shake and sweat

When he’s in front of net
He gets in my kitchen

He ate entire line
Don’t stand, don’t stand so, don’t stand so close to me
It’s no use, he sees me
I try to hide myself
But if I go down easy
Then they just shoot top shelf

Not gonna lie, it hurt physically to see Duncs like that.
I’ve lost teeth to sporting events before (mine was equestrian because yes, I’m a girl), and it’s never a good feeling. Doesn’t matter how much Novocaine they give you between periods, no intermission is long enough to abate that pain.

nothing but respect. I once took a shot to the face during a game too. My gums wouldn’t stop bleeding and I thought I was going to lose teeth for sure (though luckily i didn’t). He’s totally crazy, but i still love him.

If Cap’n is 1, Keith is 1a.
He fuckin’ skated off his own self.
I said it before- No Dunc, no Cup.
Gentlemen! I have invented...this thing!
I agree with your 1 & 1a ranking
Keith would be wearing the “C” on just about any other team in the NHL. You have to tlove the mentality of a guy that loses 7 teeth and ends up missing a few shifts. Even though I still think the Jordin Tootoo puck to the face (45 stitches) & the Sami Salo slapshot to the groin (Ruptured testicle) had to be more painful than losing teeth, Dunc’s potential loss and then return had to psych up the team.
Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'Sir' without adding, 'You're making a scene."
Toews & Keith
Toews is the captain of the team and he should be.
Keith is the reason the Hawks are better then the teams they have faced. The last two teams could compete with the Hawks offensively. It’s just, IMO, that neither of them had anything close to Keith on the defensive side…

Despite the two sweeps, I remember feeling very anxious. Maybe it was teenage hormones, maybe it was the nightmarish mullet of Jagr, maybe it was the performance against the Pens during the regular season, or maybe it was the typical Chicago sports fan pesimism; but those feelings are not here now!

Then again this is 2010, so who’s to say what will happen. All I know is that this is one hell of a good time, and I got at least 4 more games to go.

we still need to play the actual games, against whoever advances
we sem to have what appears to be the stronger team, but that means squat – the games will be played on the ice and we will have to bring our good game, 60 minutes per game.
Whoever advances in the East will have already had 2 or 3 victories against higher seeded teams.

The above tickets resulted from an over-invoiced contract, executed, commissioned and paid for about five hours (5) ago by a San Jose contractor.

The transfer is risk free on both sides. I am an accountant with the San Jose National Petroleum Corporation (SJNPC). If you find this proposal acceptable, we shall require the following documents:

Never thought I’d attend a game better than the Kane hattie vs. the Nucks last year. This one eclipsed it – by far.
Best non-obvious moment: when the ice was being littered with towels after the Versteeg empty netter – a lone black bra flew onto the ice. Then the spot guy shone his light on it. Then one of the guys cleaning up the ice picked it up, held it like it had cooties, and I swore he was showing it off to the officials in the penalty box. God, I hope my pictures of it turned out – I was LOL!

Check out this list of his dirt bag infractions and resulting suspensions the NHL has handed out to this fucker over the years. (This list only goes thru 2008. Don’t know if there have been more since, but it sure wouldn’t surprise me.)
And that’s only the shit he got caught and penalized for. This guy is one of the dirtiest players i’ve ever seen, and i’ve seen alot of them over the years. The thing that rubs me the wrong way the most about this guy is that he seemingly has little or no respect for other players on the ice. He deliberately goes out of his way to hurt other players.
The Hawks better have their heads on a swivel when they’re on the ice with this guy if we end up playing the Flyers.

Because whether or not you believe it, every game, every hit, every "Detroit Sucks" cheer has been building to this very moment.

You have no idea the inferiority complex that Detroit has
Even when they are dominant they feel inferior because all they have to offer is stolen Coney Islands. Seriously, they are everywhere.
Let them feel that we are the villain they are a hero in need of redemption. The road to redemption goes through Jonathan Toews.
And they are not a dynasty. MTL, NYI, and EDM are dynastys. Detroit and NJ are good teams spaced far apart.

I "dry labbed" the entire year - so we could save up the chemicals to have fun with
I was the one who figured out how to insert a reasonable margin of error into each step so that the lab write-ups looked bad enough to not appear fake and close enough to look like we really did it.
The odd part was, I had to learn the stuff better to convincingly fake it than I would have to just actually do it on the level. Of course, my lab technique sucked like a Hoover, so my grade probably was better for it.

My lab partner caught her sweatshirt on fire
It was the first day of organic chem and I didn’t know her name yet. I tapped her on the shoulder and said “excuse me but I think you are on fire”. She laughed at how calm I was about it.

when I was in FL for a rowing regatta. We had one free day and chose to go surfing. As we were in the ocean, one of my teammates said “I don’t want to alarm anyone, but there’s a shark right there.” Totally calm. And there was seriously a 5 foot shark no more than 15 feet from us. We were like WTF! and ran out of the water.

We were making crystals in a container...
We didn’t pay attention to the fact that ours was glass, and not pyrex.
We had crystals formed all over the top of our lab table, and glass all over the floor.
We also managed to cause a drain to smoke orange smoke one time.

You Know...this has been a great year for hockey...
and not just because the best sweater in hockey is in the Finals. The Olympics were great, the NHL has been shaken up from the traditional (stale) powerhouses, attendance is up, viewership is up, the supply leagues are getting more successful and developing players, and there is a load of strong, fast, young hockey players making this sport more exciting than its ever been.
Or maybe its the WCF win talking…
Alright, guys. This, my friends, is how its done. Congratulations first to you, SCHers, for getting what you guys deserve. Its been a long ride, and I know how far you’ve come from the awful seasons and low attendance. Congratulations to the Blackhawks for showing us what playoff hockey looks like – Byfuglien and Toews, especially, holy fuck.
Obviously, there isn’t much solace I can take in my team being eliminated. But it does do my heart good seeing you guys fight tooth and nail with Nashville and then steamroll two “superior” teams. Here’s hoping you kick some EC ass in less than six games, and that looking back, you can truly say that the Predators gave you more hell than anyone else.
So for up to seven more games, I got no problems saying this:

I was just thinking the same thing. After the joyous moment earlier, I was reflecting on the hawks journey to this point and kept thinking, “Nashville had us on the fucking ropes”. They tested the hawks and pretty much prepared them for this journey.

Come to think of it...
The Preds series was the only series in which I actually thought the issue was in doubt.
Preds played their asses off. A few more talented players and they very well could have stunned us.
Canucks seemed too caught up in being the Canucks, thinking that the same stale combo of the Sedin sisters, SOB, Burrows, Bieksa and LOLongo would be the answer to a young hawks squad that now had a full year of playoff hockey, international hockey and President’s Trophy quality hockey under their belts. The ‘nucks didn’t deserve shit. They didn’t deserve it simply for the fact that they believed that a team who dominates the Wild, Flames and Oilers on a regular basis can dominate the rest of the NHL When in fact, its the other way around.
The Sharks gave us all they had talent-wise, but they lacked the killer instinct that the Hawks had. It’s been said a million times already, but this was the closest 4 game sweep i’ve ever seen.

I have more respect for Nashville
than any other team in the playoffs so far. Your team really did prepare the Hawks for anything. I haven’t been scared since we played the Predators. Nervous, yes, but not scared like I was that they wouldn’t get past Nashville. you deserved to go farther, but I’m glad you didn’t. :)

Long time listener...
Some of my thoughts:
I just remember that I nearly inverted my coffee table on SJ’s short handed goal. I was feeling not good. No so much that we were down 2-0, but that Ladd’s out and I’m praying Keith’s not had his face shattered. Thinking that losing’s not bad but being the fear of serious physical losses was sickening.
But Keith came back. "The puck clearly crossed the goal line." Then the rest made for a great weekend.
Buff at the right place, right time, 3 times in 4 games is as sweet as high fructose corn syrup. It really isn’t sugar but who cares and give me another Fanta!
Bolland on the other hand is dirty, nasty and just being a problem for the enemy first on the defensive side of the ice against the ‘Nucks then both O and D in this series. On on any other team he’s be the guy we love to hate.
Niemi. I have a co-worker who thinks he’s a sexy man. I have to agree…
Toews makes funny faces on his way modestly to 13 straight games with a point in the playoffs.
And finally
Hossa: A man not contributing tons of points but still everyday Hustlin’. He’ll get his and I think it will be at some important future juncture in one of the next 4 wins we need.
Here’s to the ECF taking a while!
+1 for Hossa love

"What if Duncan Keith wasn't willing to give everything for the Blackhawks"
I can’t really figure out a way to tip my cap to the Sharks appropriately without having my meaning misconstrued so in the interest of brevity, here’s my top 5 things that impressed me about SJ in this series, in a very particular order:
1) Mr. Plank
2) Todd McLellan
3) the boy Marlo (meant in all sincerity, you’ll understand if you watched The Wire)
4) Nabby
5) Thornton
Id put Thornton above Nabby, but

What. A. Day.
Woke up this morning and in my inbox was a copy of the CI from Sam. He had an entire page of my stuff published. That was pretty cool. Fuck you BigC, he’ll never publish one of your videos! Bahahaha!
Hawks come back to win and advance to the freaking SC finals – the SC finals!!!!
Johnny didn’t touch the 2nd place trophy.
I photoshopped three individual players since the last game – all three of them scored (Bolland, Versteeg! and Buff).
In two weeks I will be 42 – the number from which all meaning can be derived – while the Hawks are playing in the finals.
42: Hawks need 4 more wins. We’re 2nd City Hockey.
Marlboro 72:
Seabrook scored his 7th goal of the year in period 2.
In return, during the 2nd period Keith lost 7 teeth (can you say “Awww, that’s special”?).
Patrick Kane, who plays on the 1st line, ended the season with 88 points (also his number). Sharpy who played mostly on the 2nd, had 66. Versteeg, on the 3rd, had 44 (noticing a progression here?), Eager had 16 (stupid fucking 4th liners – close enough for Earwax).
3 guys have 7 goals (Kane, Sharp, Toews) 777 represents celestial perfection and is a very lucky number.
2010: 20 players on a roster, all having 10 Toews. (guh)
It’s all suddenly making sense. I feel like everything is coming together in some crazy cosmic sort of way.

so you're saying
that once he runs out of digits, he points to Burish?

I did photoshop him, but that was with Kopecky
so he scored elsewhere. I think I need fix that, eh? Maybe I should photoshop him with a pig nose and the Cup?

From FtF
A season of promise erased in four quick games. A series that was closer than the sweep will indicate, a series with three games decided by a single goal.
After last season, I’ve realized that this is bullshit. But you can’t know it’s bullshit until your team turns around and dominates a Conference Finals.
(170 g) * (3x10^8 m/s)^2 = 1.5x10^16 J
Perhaps the Sharks will take it all next year
when Marleau and Pavelski are gone, and Stevie Y is driving the Starship Enterprise. ;) Or maybe not… If only I gave a crap. But the post-mortem needs to focus on what’s wrong on top, and then work its way down.
I don't think it's bullshit - unless you get complacent and think nothing needs to change
A season of promise – it was. Over in 4 short games – it was.
So why did they not deliver on the promise? And who neds to go, and who do they need to get?
Whether they ask those questions, and how they answer them will dictate whether the teams learned from this latest playoff exit.
Confusion will be my epitaph.
Ok I am pretty aware now that I'm not going to sleep tonight so I expect to be here for a while.
The best thing now is NOTHING bad could bring me down. My car breaks? Fuck it. My dog dies? Get a replacement (JOKE), Comcast cable goes down (I’ll wait 5 hours), etc. Of course we need to complete the next goal for this to truly come full circle.
4 MORE WINS!
Derrick Rose will lead us back to the promise land.

So I it’s SCH to the SCF. Congrats you guys… I appreciate you beating the Sharks in 4 to make our suckage against you in round 2 look a little less awful. I am confident that the cup will be yours and you fully deserve it. I’m hoping all those rumours of your cap-induced impending dismantling next year are true so that my Canucks can actually have a shot!

Congrats!
See you guys in Next years WCF!

Obviously yesterday was awesome and I never in my wildest dreams thought the Hawks would sweep the Sharks, at least not until after game 3. This series could have gone either way and it really came down to some huge stops by Niemi, doesn’t it always in a close series! I really can’t believe how far these kids have come in such a short time, hell 3 years ago the team was just being revived from near death.
I was 1 in 1961 and remember 71 and 73, but of course all the games weren’t on TV, thanks Arthur, glad your grandson Rocky didn’t learn what you taught your son. 92 was fun, especially beating the Oilers in 4, but those pesky Oilers with Gretzky stopped some great Hawks teams from getting near that cup with all the names on it. Now they have the chance to go after the ultimate prize again.
I can’t imagine the Flyers blowing it against the Habs series and they will be a tough team to play, they have a lot of good young players. Can’t wait until later in the week.
Congrats from the enemy
Yes, I know. DIE SCUM! but wanted to stop by and congratulate you guys on making the SCF. Does that mean I’ll root for you? Not by any chance. Although, if you do win I could laugh at Chris Pronger (most likely the Flyers will win at this point) and his oblong head for losing. Congrats again.
You know you want on Original 6 team to do well.
How much more fun is it to have good teams in the Central division? Not such a cakewalk for a while, it looks like.
Next years games will be great hockey to watch
