Good news Bad news for the Hawks...

First the bad news for the Chicago Blackhawks, last night Calgary and their rabid crimson wearing home town fans carried the day and the series is now 2:1Hawks. Tomorrow will be tough current bar room intelligence is that the Hawks should come away form Calgary with one win and they will be alright. Loose two and the way to the cup is tougher, but they will be tougher on Chicago ice. Just win tomorrow night Hawks and get it over with. The formula is easy it can be remembered from your peewee days. 60 minutes of hockey, stay out of the penalty box, capitalize on the other guys mistakes and in the name of all that is sacred don't leave poor Khaabibulin all alone in the crease. While you are at it make sure someone keeps Kiprusoff company too.

Now for the good news, Patrick Kane appears to be over his case of the 24 hour "flu" and will be be in in the line up tomorrow night. Second,hopefully the networks will let us hear the unique rendition of the Canadian National Anthem as it is performed in Calgary.The soloist starts then raises the mike and the crowd takes over, we all are lifted in song and hear....
"With glowing hearts
We see thee rise,
The true, north, strong, and free.
From far and wide
Oh Canada
We stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land
Glorious and free.
Oh Canada
We stand on guard for thee."

All sarcasm aside I have always loved those words.

Here are a few images from Saturday's Hawks victory.
