2013 Stanley Cup Final: Blackhawks win

[Eliasonia]

Hawks win! Hawks win!

Yeah yeah.... Still got 6 more to go.

[Neoconstantius]

What an epic game. Both teams played their hearts out. If Game 1 is to be any indication, we're in for an amazing series.

GO BLACKHAWKS!

[Christmahanikwanzikah]

This series is going to rock so hard.

[Ivan Drago]

Boston will win the Cup.

Blackhawks pull controversial t-shirt...

TaQud, would you at least get the story right? It's not the Blackhawks organization doing it, they didn't sanction it in the first place. It's an independent company making that shirt called Cubby Tees.

And yes the shirt is in bad taste and really shouldn't have been a thing, but then again a lot of partisan shit that goes on during a big championship event like the Stanley Cup is in the same bad taste. Not backing Cubby Tees (even though the Patrick Kane shirt they make is awesome and I can never buy one cause they're sold out every damn place I go) because that was a stupid thing to do, but they sorta have a point even if they made it badly after they replaced the shirt with a soliloquy.

I remember some Toronto fan caught heat for bringing a sign to a game that basically pulled that same stunt, but instead saying Toronto's Stronger.

[Saugeais]

Stop Using <insert noun here>-Strong. Just stop, please.

I had thought that game two was today and I was looking forward to it. No one quite understands my upset feelings when I realized it's tomorrow.

Ooooh, I think I cam empathize. Game 1 was awesome so the whole series is probably going to be nuts.

No, what' sadder is that I live in Chicago and not even the scalpers can keep any sort of reserve of tickets, so no going to the New Madhouse for me.

you know, I don't think anyone besides you and the writer made that conection.

[TaQud]

Stop Using <insert noun here>-Strong. Just stop, please.

fine. We need to put a team's name and they say strongest to end this topic on who's stronger.

Isn't that generally the statement when somebody hoists that big silver cup above one's head?

It looks like Horton is going to play. I'm hoping that Bolland delivers a nice shot to it today. Him or Shaw, I don't care who, but I want Horton out if it gives my Hawks the advantage.

I've gotten playoff tickets through Stubhub before. I saw them clinch the Western Conference in Game 4 thanks to Stubhub. That was the game where Duncan Keith lost 7 teeth on Marleau's clear.

Cubby Tees pull controversial t-shirt...

That's not the Blackhawks though, that's some retarded Cub fans who sell T-shirts. Just look at the name of the company. These are the same idiots who sold the "Ozzie Guillen mows my lawn T-shirts."

Nice thought...

Stay classy...

This is hockey. There is a reason that all injuries are categorized as "upper body" and "lower body." The idea is you do not want to disclose an injury as you do not want it exposed and exploited as a result of it being exposed.

If you're are unlucky enough to disclose your injury, expect it to be exploited.

I don't want after the whistle shit. I want it to be a normal hockey play along the boards.

Horton knows he's going to get a few shoves to the shoulder. If he doesn't then he is playing the wrong game.

I just think wishing ill will on someone is uncool in general, but your right, it is hockey. I hope your wish is not granted though, mainly because I want this to be a great series and both teams need to be healthy for this to happen.

Screw stubhub, I refuse to pay for their exorbitant fees that they apply just for their own self-gratification. 2-3 weeks just to sell tickets I don't have any use for and charging me an additional fee on top of that? The hell?!

And ouch, did you hear the teeth actually break off and see em fly?

I was up in the 300 level. I saw Marleau's clearing attempt hit Keith in the face. I couldn't tell wear it got him. The only thing I knew is that it didn't get his eyes since he wears a visor. I saw Keith scurry to the bench and then be taken by the trainers into the dressing room. As my attention was on Keith, Marleau of course got one behind Niemi and put the Sharks up 2-0. I only found out Keith lost the teeth after the game.

The Hawks came back to win that game 4-2 and the rest is history on what happened when they faced the Flyers in the next round.
