Blackhawks vs. Canucks 2nd round

[BB73]

Blackhawks were down 0-2 in game two, just kept battling, got 3 goals in the 2nd and 3 more in the third to win 6-3.

The Hawks are in Luongo's head. Hawks are battling a bit of a teamwide flu, but Mats Sundin has a badly sprained ankle and Sami Salo isn't making the trip to Chicago.

 

[BB73]

Blackhawks hang in there and pull the game out late. Down 0-1 for what seemed like forever, they scored with less than 3 minutes to go, and then won it early in OT.

It was great to see and hear the United Center rocking like it was tonight. I wasn't there, just watching in HD.

the hawks young talent is impressive. everyone talks about the youth of wash or pitts. the hawks are solid for the youth they have. i really like teows. guy rarely gives up on the puck.

 

[BB73]

Blackhawks just took a 3-2 lead in Game 5 with about 5 minutes left. If they hold on, it'll be yet another come-from-behind victory.

The 'Nucks have no answer for the Hawks' depth of talent. For as bad as Khabibulin has been in this series (the only 'Nucks goals were very soft) the Hawks have just buried them with both number of chances and quality of chances. When they're not shooting themselves in the foot with bad penalties they're completely dominant.

They're closing it out in the UC on Monday, and I'm going to be there.

This has been an excellent series so far, but has received little attention. The national media folks can barely get past talking about Ovechkin and Crosby (admittedly that series is great for the NHL), and when they do it's to focus on the struggles of the Red Wings and the Bruins.

The first round overall wasn't that interesting (other than the San Jose upset), but the entire second round has been pretty good stuff.

The fact that the second round started about the same time I got Versus on HD, and a DVR, is just a coincidence.

 

[Brutus1]

Agreed. the second round has been great.

 

[OHSportsFan]

LOTS of action so far.

Already 3-3, after the 'Hawks were up 3-1.

5:11 left in the 2nd.

 

[OHSportsFan]

5-4 'Nucks.

and as I type

Chicago ties it up.

7:00 to play. Blackhawks are good at coming from behind. goodness that was quick.

 

[OHSportsFan]

and a PP goal puts them up 6-5. wow.

6:11 left in the 3rd.

like BN27 (and others have asked)- how can people not love this stuff?

 

[TGfan06]

game of the playoffs so far?

These games are 100x better than whatever the NBA provides... It is a damn shame that all of these wonderful games are on Versus and not NBC.

Kane adds another (Hat Trick)... 7-5 Hawks

 

[OHSportsFan]

what a move and a goal by Patrick Kane for the hat trick!

7-5 Blackhawks...they are likely moving on to the Western Conf. Finals.

This one is great, though.
