1 - Kane, P. (12:53 in 3rd)
2 - Cleary, D. (06:08 in 3rd), Helm, D. (03:58 in 1st OT)

"They made a nice play," Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said. "The end boards are more lively here than in any other building. There were some scrambles as the game progressed.

"We got hemmed in our own zone on that shift. It was a tough one."
...
Both Detroit and Chicago entered Game 5 shorthanded due to injuries, but the Red Wings incurred a surprising loss after the morning skate when rookie defenseman Jonathan Ericsson complained of abdominal pain and underwent an appendectomy. He joined top defenseman Nicklas Lidstrom (lower-body injury) and No. 1 center Pavel Datsyuk (foot) on the sidelines. Chicago was without starting goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin (lower-body injury) and top scorer Martin Havlat (head and shoulder injuries).

You either have to tack on inability to count onto your fan shortcomings, or update your sig countdown graphic.


Here's hoping for a good Stanley Cup finals series. The NHL sure could use some positive news.

Give the Ducks a chance at a Detroit team without Dats and Liddy and you DO NOT have the Wings in the playoffs. Too bad Chicago couldn't make it happen this year, but I'm sure things will be adjusted for next season. In the meantime, I'm looking forward to the playoffs. Sid and Malkin are on a mission and Detroit has played two really tough teams and I personally can't see how they have enough left for a faceoff with Pittsburg. Should be fun to watch!

GO KUNIE!!
