Hawks vs. Red Wings

Last night the Hawks played their best game in years against the team that, unfortunately, is statistically the best, but, as we all know, sucks the most. This team is the Detroit Red Wings. Chicago dominated the game from start to finish. Just five minutes in, Cam Barker took a wicked shot that went off the inside of the post and past Dominik Hasek. Just about a minute later, Dave Bolland won a faceoff in the Red Wings' zone and got the puck to Jordan Hendry. Hendry shot the puck as soon as he got it and beat Hasek between the legs. Just about a minute after that James Wisniewski made a great pass off the boards to Jason Williams who threw the puck across the Wings' blueline to a wide open Robert Lang. Lang drove hard to the net and beat Hasek cleanly. That was all we saw of Hasek that night. He allowed three goals on six shots. Unfortunately, before the period was over, Henrik Zetterberg beat Khabibulin on the power play and gave the Wings some life. The Hawks bounced right back in the second when Patrick Kane, on the short side, passed the puck to Dustin Byfuglien, on the far side, and Osgood gave up his first goal of the night. Kirk Maltby answered back about three minutes later beating Khabibulin while going hard to the net, but who cares? I don't because Duncan Keith, from the point, found Patrick Kane, who made a great tip into a nearly empty net about a minute later. In the third period, Adam Burish stepped out of the penalty box and led a three on one towards Osgood's goal. Burish took a great shot and beat Osgood cleanly. The Hawks ended up rolling over the Red Wings 6-2. I guess this just goes to show that DETROIT SUCKS!!! DETROIT SUCKS!!! DETROIT SUCKS!!! DETROIT SUCKS!!! DETROIT SUCKS!!! DETROIT SUCKS!!! DETROIT SUCKS!!! DETROIT SUCKS!!! DETROIT SUCKS!!! DETROIT SUCKS!!! DETROIT SUCKS!!! DETROIT SUCKS!!! DETROIT SUCKS!!! DETROIT SUCKS!!! DETROIT SUCKS!!! DETROIT SUCKS!!! DETROIT SUCKS!!!

Hawks vs. Blue Jackets

On Sunday evening the Chicago Blackhawks looked to keep their playoff hopes alive when they took on the Columbus Blue Jackets at the United Center. It was a nerve racking game with a few lead changes and several times teams coming back to tie the game. Johnathan Toews got the scoring started early when he tried to pass the puck and got a lucky bounce in front of the net. Before the first period ended Murray and Peca scored for the Jackets. Early in the second Zherdev made some nice moves around the Hawks defensemen and put the put above the shoulder of Khabibulin. With time winding down on a 5 on 3 power play for Chicago, Jason Williams took a hard shot that beat Norrena for a goal the Hawks desperately needed. Shortly after Williams' goal, Patrick Sharp, also on the power play, poked a rebound through the legs of Norrena to tie the game. Early in the third MacKenzie beat Khabibulin to put the Jackets up 4-3. Just when the Hawks were getting a little desperate, with about eight minutes remaining, Yanic Perrault put a rebound into a wide open net, and the game went to OT. After both goalies made some big saves in OT, the game went to a shootout. Patrick Kane went to his bread and butter and easily beat Norrena. That was the only goal of the shootout, however Jason Williams beat Norrena, but hit the crossbar. Khabibulin stopped all three shots he faced.
