Was at Avenue Tavern for Game 2 and they had a pretty good crowd, probably 80% Wings fans and the Blackhawks fans there were pretty decent.

I don't know where are you in the City but if you are near Lincoln Park, there are always a ton of fans at Hi-Tops on Lincoln and the Tin Lizzie on Clark. There's also Avenue Tavern in Lakeview too but i haven't been there in forever so I don't know how many fans still go there.

haha yeah, i got more than alittle excited. doesn't fix everything but its a start.

Victory is Ours!!!

VAN/SJS: 4-3 BOS/TBL: 4-3

Come on, we can't pop this game over to CNBC or MSNBC or any of the other 34 channels NBC owns just for a night?

WAS/TBL: 6 games PHI/BOS: 7 games VAN/NSH: 7 games SJS/DET: 5 games If we are repicking these then . . . Western Conference Champion: Detroit Red Wings Eastern Conference Champion: Boston Bruins Stanley Cup Champion: Detroit Red Wings

I honestly don't hate the Canucks or their fans. They are a good team and I'd love to beat them, thats about it. Certainly doesn't make the list of teams that make my blood boil (Blackhawks, Pens, Ducks)

I got Wings in 6. I dont think we'll have any real problems with this Yotes team, though there will probably be one game where the Wings are just awful.

VAN/CHI: 4-2 SJS/LAK: 4-3 DET/PHX: 4-2 ANA/NSH: 4-1 WAS/NYR: 4-1 PHI/BUF: 4-3 BOS/MTL: 4-2 PIT/TBL: 4-3 WC Champion: Detroit Red Wings EC Champion: Philadelphia Flyers SCF Champion: Detroit Red Wings

Everything's coming up ChitownWingsfan!

The venue and team are cleared of liability of events that occur as a normal part of the game (puck going into the crowd, foul balls in the stands at a baseball game, stuff like that.) What Rypien did isn't part of a normal hockey game, fans in the stands have no reason to believe that a player might come over and grab them. As for the suit, this is more about punishing the player than rewarding the fan. If anything, the fan is lucky Rypien grabbed him and not someone else because they'd be benefitting from his stupidity.

After spending all summer hearing about the Hawks and how great they are going to be, I can't help but say how impressed I am by the core. That make me so happy.
