From Chicago - Patrick Kane skated briefly Wednesday afternoon at Wrigley Field, leaving practice early, but he is expected to play in Thursday's Winter Classic against Detroit. "Patrick will play," coach Joel Quenneville said. Kane hurt his right ankle in Tuesday's loss to Detroit on a hit by Dan Cleary. Kane fell to the ice, twisting his leg. "I'm going to try to play," Kane said. "I'll get some treatment and we'll see how it goes." Kane said the hit by Cleary was clean even if it looked as if Cleary's elbow came up at the last minute. "It was a clean hit," Kane said. "My skate just got caught in the ice. It was one of those things where I couldn't get ot of the way."

5 minutes!

Just over an hour till gametime!

I don't think there would be anything better than seeing Cheli score today.

Happy New Year to all. IN MY LIFE

Best quote from Chicago - "Detroit cannot handle us when we play our game...thats why they resorted to hitting us." Classic.

I'll take a Wings shutout win over that any day

No more Burkie in the av?

Overall, a solid game played after starting the game being outshot 10-1

Red Wings win it! Conks with the shutout!

Um, no. The Hawks just can't handle being hit, just look at Kane.

And another great stop by Conks pk coming

PP coming up

KOPY?!?!?!??!?

And yet ANOTHER pk coming

Conks again!!

pk coming

Why did Conks get rid of the neck protector?
