Fun at Blackhawks Road Watch Party

Moment in the sun: my first time on tv since 1988! #Blackhawks The presence of Ice Crew women nearby was a coincidence. At 0:09, center of screen.

Blackhawks vs. Red Wings Game 3 Conf Finals

BLACKHAWKS KEYS TO GAME 3

1. If a Red Wings player so much as thinks about camping out in front of the net: do whatever it takes to move him away. These players screen Nikolai Khabibulin and dramatically increase scoring chances as a result.
2. Create scoring chances for Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane. The Blackhawks cannot win unless they score. Attack the net and outshoot the Red Wings by at least 15 percent.
3. Cut down on costly turnovers. Odd-man rushes made the difference in Game 2 and cost the Blackhawks a possible win and momentum-turning game.
4. Keep hitting the Red Wings and make them pay for every trip into the offensive zone. Remind them who their opponent is.
5. Feed off the crowd and show pride in the Indian Head jersey. Remember the One Goal.

Vancouver 1, Chicago 2 (OT) - Series tied at 2

Vancouver 1, Chicago 2 (OT) - Series tied at 2 - I watched the Blackhawks' goals (two in 5:36) twice and I still can't believe it. They were both spectaular. Martin Havlat saved the series for the Hawks, and Andrew Ladd sent the fans home at a decent hour. Why stop now?

This highlight reel is definitely worth watching!

Blackhawks 4, Calgary 2: First round over

Congratulations to the Chicago Blackhawks for winning their first playoff series since 1996. (Also against Calgary, I think.) Check out Dustin Byfuglien hit Adam Burish for a very pretty goal in this highlight reel (the Hawks' second goal). He gets creamed right after his pass, but I suspect he thinks it was worth it!
