Olczyk insists he has the same approach with Emrick as he does with Pat Foley. He admits there might be a bit more "shtick" as far as nicknames and other banter during local telecasts of Hawks games. However, he didn't become one of the best in the business by playing favorites.

Edzo believes he doesn't play favorites calling Hawks games lol

What's funny is my Dad, a casual Hawks/Hockey fan thought that NBC wasn't giving the Hawks a fair shake in the broadcast booth during Wings/Hawks series... I had to choke back a heated argument with him and just nodded my head. Anyone but family and I would have gone off.

Thank you, hockey gods, for the games being on CBC, for me having access to CBC and for the mute button I can press when Hawks are talking.

No lineups announced yet - odd.

[frankgrimes 1,836]

Although it is an original 6 machtup I can not for own sake bring myself to watch it. Can't stand both teams.

Wonder who will present the Stanley Cup though,

[puckloo39 5,686]

I don't have access to CBC so I will just flip back and forth. Every time I look, NBC is kissing up to an obnoxious Hawk, which makes me slightly queasy.

Go, Bruins!!

[R-Dizzle 119]

I know it's "tradition" in Chicago to cheer during the national anthem. But it still annoys that crap out of me.

[vladdy16 2,154]

Pierre asking Toews if he thinks He Who Shall Not Be Named is watching the game. Seriously? We can't do better than this for the Stanley Cup Finals?

Boston struggling early to clear the zone, but they have had the best scoring chance thus far. Hawks pretty physical already.

"10 hits in the first 3 minutes for Chicago. Why does every team try to play like Boston?"

"Because they want to show they won't be pushed around and can play the physical game too."

"That worked well for Pittsburgh."

Bruins need to pick it up. Just let Kane skate right in.

[St. Michael (the Red Wing) 422]

Meh sort of sloppy this first period so far.

Both teams feeling each other out...

[vladdy16 2,154]

Hossa made a great shot with a perfect screen but Rask was in the right place at the right time. *whew!*

Crawford just ROBBED Marchant. Nice snag. Boston fast and furious with the SOG, but no joy.

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

Is that moron Edzo calling the game? I refuse to turn the mute off.

[vladdy16 2,154]

Leddy playing goal in tandem with Crawford. Desperate hockey already.

[R-Dizzle 119]

Talk about a conflict of interest.

Scoooore Boston!

Lucic scores!! Chicago going for hit instead of playing the puck. Idiots. Keep it up, Hawks!

[Datsyukian-Deke 722]

I love the silence of the crowd. Sit down hawks fans!

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

Yeah, the Madhouse sure got quiet, didn't it? Not sure there's even a crowd there now.

[St. Michael (the Red Wing) 422]

KREJI!!!! Whoo hoo

Are you talking about the goal?

Lucic scored it lol

[vladdy16 2,154]

Bruins taking control of the game right now - Hawks backcheck is for s***. They're WAY too concerned with playing the body in the offensive zone.

[Datsyukian-Deke 722]

The crickets you get when bandwagon fans fill the stands.

lol now ya tell me! I'm too busy trying to watch this game and the Griffins.

Fans at the UC are quiet because they haven't been able to figure out when to start chanting "Detroit Sucks"

[Vladifan 680]

And that, kids, is what happens when you get out of position to make a hit. There is a hockey god, and hopefully, he's tired of the Hawks and their zany antics.

[esteef 2,679]

Wooooo!

"Patrick Kane: The Face of American Hockey."

Really, NBC?

I don't think I have enough eye rolls left to finish watching this game. Back to the Griffs I go...
