Chicago, Chicago
That toddlin' town

Chicago, Chicago
I'll show you around, I love it

Bet your bottom dollar
You'll lose the blues
In Chicago, Chicago
The town that Billy Sunday
Could not shut down

On State Street, that great street
I just wanna say

They do thing's
They don't do on Broadway, say

They have the time
The time or their life

I saw a man
He danced with his wife
In Chicago, my home town

SJ @ CHI. 1-0 SJ. End of 1st.

GOAL SCORER

SJS: Couture, L. (11:08 in 1st )

[lvsprt]

2-0 Marleau shorthander.

[mR. BlUe]

Nabby is absolutely terrible. He's been their weak link for years. He lets in too many goals that most goalies would stop. I think that's the one thing stopping the Sharks. They are lacking offense right now, but I think a lot of that has to do with motivation. You see your goalie letting in some iffy goals and you're going to lose motivation and confidence. I don't know what they can do this year in Free Agency about him, but I don't think they'll ever win a cup with him in net.

Hey the Hawks have turned my frown upside down!

[Dark Knight]

Chicago now up 3-2 with 5' left ...

[lvsprt]

Hawks take the lead 3-2 with 5 minutes to go. United Center is rocking.

Oh well. Looks like I won't be seeing the Cup in Sweden later this year.

Congratulations to Chicago on winning the West!

The Ducks are still the only team from California to win it all!

Yup! Posted it on twitter a few minutes ago

[Barmy Army]

I'm very happy that Chicago made it

[lvsprt]

Born and raised in Illinois but still a Ducks fan. I'll have to throw my fandom behind these Hawks though to go all the way..

[Captain-Crunch]

Wow. Just... Wow.

Well, for The Cup! At least it is one of the teams I like!

[DropThePuck]

The chicklets came pouring out of his mouth, and one even got stuck in the back of his throat. Duncan Keith lost seven teeth in all, three on the top and four on the bottom, when the puck came off Patrick Marleau's stick and hit him square in the mouth.

That was with 12:30 remaining in the second period of Sunday's series-clinching win over the San Jose Sharks. Seven minutes later, after some pronto dental work behind closed doors, Keith was back on the ice for the Chicago Blackhawks.
...
"He's going to have a great smile in a couple weeks," Sharp added. "He was walking around, skating around, talking to us before the power play, mumbling what we were supposed to do. I don't think anybody understood what he was talking about, but he's one of our leaders."

Byfuglien's goal was set up after Dany Heatley took a slashing penalty against Patrick Kane. With the power play in its waning seconds, Kane fired the puck toward the crease, where Byfuglien was able to stuff the puck past Sharks goaltender Evgeni Nabokov. It was his third game-winning goal of the series, as he also had the decisive tally in Game 1.

I love it!!!!

[rollingdux]

yay...congrats to the hawks on making it to the finals!

[Just Duckie]

Congratulations to the Blackhawks! My Hubby is one happy camper to see his Hawks back in the SCFs for the first time 18 years.

The Sharks, Kings, Red Wings and Pens are out of the playoffs, and all is right with the world.
