Look at my Wings go, up 2-0 against the Blackhawks. 
Some nice skating by Cleary, Osgood, and a number of others.

Are you going to any of the games, now that they are coming to Chicago?
Sadly, I'm all eyes on a different prize at the moment -- I defend my dissertation in two weeks, and that's pretty much my only priority right now.
Sad, too... Wings Stanley tickets are like $600 in Detroit.... Might be my only chance! 
Hey look! There's a hockey game on! It seems like the last game was forever ago, even though it was only 2 days ago. There just doesn't seem to be a flow to the playoffs because of all the down time.
The NHL still doesn't have it right. They should take some lessons on playoff game scheduling from the NBA.
.....Pens scored already...... Crosby........ uh-oh....... come on 'Canes!

Ouch No hard feelings right??
GO CANES!!!
**** that, he sucker punched ward in the face and broke a bone
he can go **** himself.
Let's see if my beloved Wings can push up to 3-0 tonight! Crush the Hawks!
Lets hope. They are my favorite

I'll be watching, that's for sure.
Yeah, looked like a legal hit to me too. I'd say the refs made their decision based on the outcome of the hit as opposed to the hit itself.
Nice to see the Blackhawks out front in this game. Let's see if they can hold on to win. EDIT: Never mind. It's all tied up at 3 now. That didn't take the Wings long. Wow.
Even if they do, I still think the Wings will win the series. But I guess that all depends on Osgoode, now doesn't it?
Why couldn't they have been this good when I lived in Chicago...... dammit...
4-3 Blackhawks in OT. And we have a series.
I think the quote of the Versus broadcast occurred near the end of the 3rd period, with the score tied 3-3, when one of those idiots (I think it was the play-by-play guy) said that "this game is probably not much fun if you're not a fan of either team."
WTH is that supposed to mean? Way to promote the Game to non-Wings/Hawks fans, dummy.

That was a sad performance, riddled with immaturity and a lack of discipline.
26 penalty minutes for Chicago, not including two 10-minute misconducts and one game misconduct.
They completely lost it, and game 5 will not end well for the 'Hawks.
Looks like a Wings - Pens rematch for sure.

^That game was horrid to watch. The 'Hawks completely melted down.
Pens v Wings unless there is a miracle of epic proportions.

Agreed.
At least the potential Pens v Wings rematch is a little more of a closer match up than last time around. Even though the Wings won 4-2 last time, the Wings completely outclassed the Pens. This year, the Wings still outclass the Pens, but the gap has narrowed between the teams. I think it'll go 7 games and will be a classic series.
It's amazing how the playoffs work out. No one really expected the Pens to be able to make it to the finals this year, but, there you go (unless said miracle occurs).
I didn't get to watch today's game..... it's way too nice out here to sit inside and watch tv, even for playoff hockey. Stupid daytime games.
Almost as funny as ; the puck went through his legs like a wet bar of soup. Hmmmnot something I would expect to hear on a nationally broadcasted game
i thought it was a sloppy game which benefits detroit. D jsut skated around the hawks at will.
The Wings did have quite a few extremely sloppy turnovers, either in their zone or in their side of the neutral zone, that could have resulted in a breakaway. I don't know what it is, but they missed quite a few easy passes today.
