The playoffs are about momentum and confidence as much as they are about talent, experience and home ice. Columbus was good enough to make the playoffs, so as far as I'm concerned, any win is a good win

Dear Ozzie, OMG. I've always been a big fan but if I ever doubted you or in some other way offended you, I'm sorry. In conclusion, I <3 you. -ChitownWingsFan

Let's go Red Wings! Time to make it 2-0!!! GO WINGS!

I'm still hoping the Flames find a way to beat them in 2. Crush their will so they don't even get on the plane at O'Hare for games 3 and 4.

Blah blah blah blah blah. This is the crap I've had to listen to for the last 6 months, nevermind the fact that you couldn't find a person who admitted to being a Blackhawks fan 2 years. The Blackhawks organization has contributed nothing, NOTHING, to this league in the last 10, 15 years besides losing season after losing season (you did help the Bulls build the United Center so I guess thats something). Seriously, win something, and then you can come talk trash. Win something first, anything, then you can start acting like you're hot s***.

Good article, I liked the distinction between "constructive fighting" and fighting by strategy.

I honestly can't stop watching these.

Holy h***, someone forward this to the league offices, I think we earned a bye just for having to deal with those people.

EASTERN CONFERENCE #1 Boston Bruins vs. #8 Montreal Canadiens (4-1) - Bruins 4-1 #2 Washington Capitals vs. #7 New York Rangers (4-2) - Caps 4- 0 #3 New Jersey Devils vs. #6 Carolina Hurricanes (4-0) - Canes 4-3 #4 Pittsburgh Penguins vs. #5 Philadelphia Flyers (2-4) - Flyers - 4-2 WESTERN CONFERENCE #1 San Jose Sharks vs. #8 Anaheim Ducks (4-2) - Sharks 4-3 #2 Detroit Red Wings vs. #7 Columbus Blue Jackets (4-1) - Wings 4-2 #3 Vancouver Canucks vs. #6 St. Louis Blues (2-4) - Blues 4-3 #4 Chicago Blackhawks vs. #5 Calgary Flames (3-4) - Flames 4-3 Yes, I see a very competitive first round

We got off to a slow start but Wings in 6 - LWWLWW

I'm hoping for Columbus for purely selfish reasons that 1) I hate Anaheim and 2) I hate late games on the West Coast.

I'll be shaving whatever the morning of Game 1 is and then letting it grow from there. It worked last year!

Come on Wings, I really don't wanna lose this one haha. Yesterday was bad enough in this town.

This is one Illini fan that will be rooting for Sparty tonight. GO BIG TEN!

I was planning on hitting the library and studying some corporations but looks like I'll be at home watching this game :octo:

Bettman certainly has a way with words, I'll say that Nice one

I'll be growing mine out this year, per usual. I usually do it for each series, just because of work. Shave the morning the Game 1 and let it grow, let it grow, let it grow.

I refuse to root for the Hawks so I'll just sit here silently and hope for the Sharks to not show up and forfeit the game.

Get well soon, buddy! We need you!

Wow, I'm sure someone has already said it but it does feel good to end this slide and get a win in the column, even if its a ugly win.

If I still lived in the Detroit area, I'd watch alot more but I try to keep up with them as much as possibly.

I'm pumped up for this, time to remind the Blackhawks of their proper place in this league, which is below us in the standing

I'll be somewhere in Wrigleyville but haven't heard of any bar dedicated for Wings fans. I'll probably end up at Central, Mullens or Goose Island (all on Clark St, just south of Addison) unless I hear of someone else.

There's a hockey team here? Where? Seriously, outside of a couple friends, no one here is talking about this team and if there are, its only because of the Winter Classic, they probably couldn't tell you use the Hawks played last week or play this week. But then if the unspeakable happens and they win on the first, thats all I'll hear till April.

The only thing that surprises me is that it actually made it to Wrigley and didn't fall off the truck in the middle of the Dan Ryan.
