Damn, that was a bummer of a game.

To make it worse I'm going to be on the road for the next two games so that will make it even less enjoyable.

Blackhawks had chances with 3 posts and a...

Had a nice relaxing weekend with a couple rounds of golf and even got some fishing in...Blackhawks hurt it a little but hopefully they can make it up tonight.

Have to play a simple game on the...

They won't. If it wasn't 11:30 on a Friday night I would give you one hell of a response. You can expect it at a later date.

I get a very good feeling that I have a much better idea than you do...

Should be real interesting. Personally, I think Q gets a big nod for getting his team to show up every single night. In the end, I think the voters go with Paul MacLean because they seem to love...

and that it is a noon start time? geez.

By the way Wings fans, if you are looking for an obscure Blackhawks player to pay a little attention to...give Kruger a look. I always enjoy watching the unsung guys or the guys under the radar on...

I don't see any growing pains.

Top 6 stays fully intact. Bickell and Stalberg are the only pieces that the Blackhawks can lose up front, but they have been 3rd liners. Blackhawks still might...

The Blackhawks are in a pretty good position with the Cap going forward. If you want me to dive into it and get nerdy with the numbers, I will. However, they are in a much better position going...

I mean - how? I realize "he could have let in 0 goals" but he stopped a ridiculous amount of shots and quality chances after the 1st period. He stopped two breakaways in the 3rd period alone.

I...

Not to mention that there are tons of teams who are going to be in similar or worse positions this summer.

National Anthem was booming. After the first goal it was booming. The Detroit goal quickly after got everyone back on the edge of their seats for the large majority of the game. I think fans...

Wow...he cut down on penalties big time this year. Good for him. He really seemed to get away from doing all the extra stick work or taking dumb penalties.

St. Louis has been there before and...

Great game and was a lot of fun. Heard several fans call in on the way home (on 670 though) talk about how the crowd seemed "out" of it for most the game. Didn't really feel that way as it just...

Carcillo is injured right now and isn't needed against the Wings. That I don't understand.

I wouldn't mind seeing a Morin or Smith on the 4th line in his place. I think both have some nice...

From Kuc

"Source said #Blackhawks winger Viktor Stalberg questioned his role--or lack of it--in certain situations."

Kuc has some back and forth about it on his twitter.

Stalberg is as good...

Stalberg a healthy scratch. Bolland and Carcillo in. Makes no sense to me at all.

Really interested to see how the lines are rolled out tonight.

Q has been very consistent this year compared to in previous years. Very little line juggling and for the most part lines have stayed...

I have Blackhawks in 5.

Biggest reason is defense (add in team defense as well). Blackhawks defense is just too deep and is the reason why Crawford, who isn't as good as Howard, will continue to...

No idea. I think the Wings even had their number in the regular season.

"Be careful what you wish for" keeps going through my head...but I much rather the hawks face the Wings than the Sharks...

Detroit plays the exact style that the Blackhawks thrive against.

The only area where Detroit is better than the Blackhawks, is at goalie. Crawford put up better numbers than Howard, but most of...

Should be a solid matchup, just very happy that it is Detroit and not SJ though.

It has already helped. Both Bolland and Emery (Emery shouldn't matter much) have recovered from their injuries and will be playing in game 1.

Double post.

Hopefully Bolland and Emery use these next 4 or so days to their advantage. Emery won't play (we hope) but Bolland could truly help if he comes back.

Would really like to see the Blackhawks go for the kill shot in this third. Play to win instead of playing to not lose. Last thing the Hawks need is to back up into the 2nd round.
