Delayed penalty call. Chicago had six skaters on the ice. Was essentially a power play for them.

And let's take a look at the teams below the Blackhawks right now and where they'd stand against if they win their games in hand. Here's our baseline: Chicago: 34 games played, 37 points Los Angeles: 29 GP, 35 points Potential points:45 (8 ahead of Chicago) Phoenix: 30 GP, 35 points Potential points: 43 (6 ahead of Chicago) St. Louis: 30 GP, 35 points Potential points: 43 (6 ahead of Chicago) Columbus: 31 GP, 35 points Potential points: 41 (4 ahead of Chicago) Calgary: 32 GP, 31 points Potential Points: 35, (2 back of Chicago) Minnesota: 30 GP, 30 points Potential Points: 38, (1 ahead of Chicago) Edmonton: 31 GP, 29 points Potential points: 35 (2 back of Chicago) So, of the seven teams that Chicago is ahead of points-wise at the moment, all but two could surpass them with games in hand, which is good enough for 13th place - and even the other two teams (hapless Calgary and Edmonton - teams that have both beaten Chicago) would only be 1 and 2 points back, respectively.

Get this - I read that when the booing started and persisted, Bobby frickin' Hull walked out in disgust. Good job, Blackhawks "fans". You even disgusted quite possibly the best player in the history of your team.

Hossa's little ***** boy scores the ENG.

Jimmy pulled.

Is that right? It's been six years since we played a game without a PP? That can't be right. I distinctly remember a game against Pittsburgh where we didn't get a single PP.

But oddly enough, Chicago's first goal came on, you guessed it, a powerplay. Walkom's a lousy ref, so I'm not at all surprised.

We'll get one when it doesn't make a difference. Walkom is a ******* hack.

Does Chicago have to decapitate one of our guys to actually get a penalty?

League directive. Bettman doesn't want it to look like it was a fluke that Chicago won the Cup.

I bet we'll get a PP with 16 seconds remaining.

Just remember that Eddie O coached the Penguins with Crosby to the basement of the league. I think it's safe to say that he doesn't know a whole lot about hockey.

I guess Walkom was directed to not give us any powerplays tonight.

You always seem to have a knack for making me lol.

Nah, any game with Eddie O automatically sucks. Hawks get away with too many men. Go refs.

So annoyed at the huge bunch of douches in the Chicago crowd.

Wow. Stunned.

The actual story behind it was something like "Denville PD has made 86 DWI arrests this year. Don't be 87." But of course, I saw the '87' bit first and thought, "Don't be a crybaby? Okay!"

As a little aside during the intermission, I snapped this pic on the way home from work today. Looks like NJDoT doesn't like Crosby either.

That period could have been a hell of a lot worse than it was.

For a second there, I thought we were gonna get called for a high stick there...when it was caused by blatant interference.

Bunch of booing s***heads.

Why don't they just have a clip of Gary Bettman saying "Sidney Crosby!" looping again and again? Opposing teams and fans would definitely hate that.
