Western Conference Semifinals: (1) Chicago Blackhawks vs (7) Detroit Red Wings

[fungchen3]

The Wings are impressing the **** out of me to be very honest. Thursday's game should be a dandy.

Couple observations:

1) Obviously, Babcock is schooling Q.
2) Is Q going to get Toews away from Z in game 5?
3) Why isn't Hammer on the PP1? He actually has an accurate shot unlike Keith who is awful on the PP.
4) Seabrook has played some uninspiring hockey lately.
5) A bunch of Bolland supporters are going to have to change their tune if this is the 2nd playoff season in row where he underperforms.
6) I'm getting very tired of the Andrew Shaw act.
7) If the Hawks continue to play this way and lose, good for the Wings. The Hawks are not entitled to anything. Stop reading your press clippings.

Looking forward to game 4. I think it will decide the series.

I'm getting very tired of the Andrew Shaw act.

Wow, I'm glad you said it because I was definitely thinking it.. He looked like a spoiled brat out there on Monday night.. He has been placed on this very talented team who seem to be getting humbled by the Wings, and Shaw acts like a kid at the candy store that isn't allowed anymore candy..

I understand Bickell doing what he does infront of the net, but Shaw?

I still think the Hawks bounce back and put up a huge number on the Wings Thursday. I don't wish for this to happen, I just have a feeling..

Here we go boys. Gotta even up this series. Toews needs to get it goin'.

What a frigging period!! Great hockey in this series continues.....I wish I wasn't a Wings' fan so I could just sit back and enjoy.

Same for me being a Hawks fanatic. Freaking sick and tired of being constantly nervous!!

No matter what, the Wings and Hawks will also put on a good show when they clash. I'm hoping for 7.

I just love watching old man Datsyuk schooling these young punks.

Datsyuk is a master.

Datsyuk is a master.

No, he's somewhere between a grinder and a utility player. Just tries really really hard.

[fungchen3]

Incredible saves at both ends of the rink. Wow.
