Even in a 2 game hole, this city will be electric come tomorrow night. For obvious reasons, this game is make or break. If, and that's a BIG if, we can pull out game 3, it's up in the air. We simply need to be play perfect in order to stand a chance.

I'm happy for you Bob, if the Hawks continue on. Either way, it was a great run. The winner will surely have earned it.

Your Dad may not be wrong...certainly in Game 2 the Flyers weren't out played and in 3 of the 4 Sharks game you could make a case that they weren't out played either by the Hawks. But they just keep finding ways to win.

It doesnt matter how you win most of the time, as long a team has one more goal than thier oppenent that is what counts the most. Bob your Hawks are playing some kick @ss hockey and should be commended on it.

To be honest I'd rather have Philly win one there and win the Cup at home.

Also much credit needs to be given to Peter Wirtz who in a second put the Hawks back on regular TV after taking over and 2yrs and months later needs to win 2 out of 4 for a Stanley Cup, the first one in almost 50 years! Do wish his father was still here to see his son do it.

Am I the only one that thinks Philly still has a very good chance to win this thing? The Hawks have found a way to win both games by 1 goal and were barely hanging on in the third period in game 2. Philly was down 3 games and beat Boston. If they can win the next 2 at home I think they have a good shot to still win this. The Hawks are a great team and have done nothing wrong to this point and it would not surprise me if they take the cup, but I am not counting the flyers out yet. The Wachovia/Wells Fargo Center will be rocking and if the Hawks get down early they will find a different environment than at home in Chi town.

I just don't think Philly can take 4 out of 5 from Chicago. Boston was Boston...a decent team, but not on the level that the Hawks are playing at right now. First 10 minutes of the game should be very interesting.

Use a chamois instead. It'll do a better job of getting all the wax off your car.

Montreal did all the heavy lifting in the Eastern conference. If not for them knocking off Washington and Pittsburgh, Philly wouldn't be playing now. Their goaltending is very below average. Barring the collapse of the century, it's the Black Hawks Cup.
