Go Hawks, local boy Patrick Kane!<br><br>Colin</blockquote>I've been waitin' on this to start forever & what a start! Looking like a great series & I'm torn with who I want to win but leaning towards Philly just because they're out of the eastern conference & I love their never say die attitude. The physical element is definitely in this series & it's a win, win for any hockey fan. Last Cup in Chitown, 61...... so whoever wins is a great story. Sorry Colin, I gotta go with Philly > GO FLYERS!!! <img src="http://mmb.maverick.to/images/smilies/party5.gif" width="26" height="28">
<font size="5">FLYERS AND BLACKHAWKS BABY!!!</font><br><br>GO PHILLY!<br>

I must say.......not your typical opening Cup game w/7 total goals but exciting nonetheless. Shaping-up to be a very entertaining & nasty series & will be interesting to see if Leighton or Boucher start game 2. I think Boucher would like to have that Kopecky shot back as it was a bit soft but GW goals are often what they are......just get the shot on goal or to the net. <img src="http://redlinesonlinemessageboard.yuku.com/domain/bypass/images/thumbsup.gif" width="25" height="18"><p><br></p>

Most of the experts are overwhelmingly picking the Hawks but Philly is built for this final. It's a win/win either way, on matter who wins but I see orange skating the Cup. <img src="http://redlinesonlinemessageboard.yuku.com/domain/bypass/images/thumbsup.gif" width="25" height="18"><p><br></p>

Great game tonight but looks like this is gonna be a short series...<br><br>Hawks up 2 - 0<br>
Chicago certainly had this game & held off a very strong Flyer run in the 3rd. The Hawks took the body well & Niemi was incredible! Great win for the Hawks but you can never count Philly out.....I expect it'll be a balls to the wall attack by them as they need the next one. It's weird how the top lines on both teams aren't putting up the #'s yet.....I suspect that will change.
Go Flames Go... oh wait a minute , there done..
Hard to believe nothing from Kane and Toews yet, just shows you why 2nd and 3rd lines need balance.

I think Toews & Kane have been at their best usually at home in the playoffs, making it more of a concern, so maybe the pressure might be less in Philly & they'll find their game again.<br><br>
<p>Well it's now getting nasty now TSN article on Pronger. Here it is:<br><br><strong><font size="4"><font size="5">EAGER CALLS PRONGER OUT ON TAKING GAME PUCKS AFTER LOSSES</font><br><br>Despite his team being down 2-0 in the Stanley Cup Final, Philadelphia Flyers defenceman Chris Pronger appears to playing mind games with the Chicago Blackhawks.</font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">As the final horn sounded Monday night at United Center, and the Blackhawks left the ice as 2-1 winners in Game 2, Pronger skated down and picked up the puck.</font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">Pronger, who did the same thing after his Flyers lost Game 1 was met by Blackhawks forward Ben Eager on the ice, who called him on it.</font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">Cameras caught Pronger shooting a towel at Eager when he complained, and there was a verbal exchange between the two. Both players received ten-minute misconduct penalties. </font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">“He's been picking up pucks after the game, and I just told him he can keep it,” Eager, who scored the game winner on Monday night, said to reporters after the game.</font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">After the game, Pronger was asked about shooting the towel at Eager.</font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">"I don't know, did I?," answered Pronger. "Wow. You're intuitive. Good for you. Next." </font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">Reporters then asked what took place in the verbal exchange.</font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">"I don't speak that language, whatever he was speaking," said Pronger. "I couldn't hear him."</font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">Where's the puck, Pronger was asked.</font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">“It's in the garbage,” Pronger replied. “Where it belongs.”</font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">He was then asked if he would sell the pucks on eBay.</font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">“I don't know. Apparently, it got him upset. So I guess it worked, didn't it? It's too bad. I guess little things amuse little minds.”</font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">He briefly faced the wrong way at the start of his postgame media scrum and then joked he wasn't in for any overtime when it came to answering their questions. </font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">Pronger was a force once again in Game 2, logging 27:52 in ice time, the most of any player for the second straight contest. </font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">The 35-year old has also been charged with the task of trying to help shut down the Blackhawks top line of Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane and Dustin Byfuglien, and for the most part he's done that job well. Only Byfuglien has their lone point in the series, an assist, and the trio have been held to a combined 10 shots on goal, with a plus/minus rating of -7</font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">Throughout the playoffs, the Flyers have often taken their emotional cues from Pronger, who isn't ready to concede the series.</font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">"Yeah, I think we need to play with more desperation than we did, like the third period," he said. "We need to play with that passion, energy, drive, determination, like we did in the third through the whole game. It needs to be 60 minutes."</font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">Flyers coach Peter Laviolette said it was not something the team discussed before or after Pronger took the pucks.</font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">"I read it today on a website. I had no idea it happened and you guys are bringing it up," said Laviolette to reporters on Tuesday. "I can tell you we didn't talk about it in there (dressing room)... that didn't come up. We didn't talk about who's gonna steal the puck in Game 3."</font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">Laviolette said he didn't see how Pronger's actions could be adding fuel to the Blackhawks' fire.</font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">"What added incentive do they have now? They're mad? They're angry?," said Laviolette. "It's the playoffs. We are going to show up and compete like hell tomorrow night. I promise you that. I don't know what else they are going to do cause we stole their puck."</font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">"I think it's kind of comical. If Chris Pronger wants the puck then he can have it as far as I'm concerned. I don't have any problems with that. I don't know what the big deal is." </font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="4"></font></strong> </p>

A great > "never say die" typical playoff type win for this Flyers team in O.T. in game 3 & it looks like we've got ourselves more of series now with Friday night hopefully, looking like another great one? Kane's line looked like the best for the Hawks & Hartnell's for Philly so it looks like the lines expected to produce, finally are. <img src="http://redlinesonlinemessageboard.yuku.com/domain/bypass/images/thumbsup.gif" width="25" height="18"><p><br></p>
Flyers sure are looking good you can feel the momentum turning...if they win I'd be happy for Briere, he's a nice guy having meet him through some youth clinics that are boys attended when he was here in Buffalo. Another X-Sabre on the Cup!<br><br>
C'mon Hawks!<br><br>

<strong>Looks like that winning goal was kicked in to me, which should not have been allowed. But that's ok, we'll give 'em one, take game 4 on Friday, then wrap it up in Chi-Town @ The Madhouse On Madison on Sunday!<br><br><font size="6">GOOOOOOOOOOO BLACKHAWKS!!!</font></strong>

I've always like Briere's game as he always finds a way to impact the outcome of a game & usually when the lights are the brighest. As much as I hate to say it, Hossa has looked like the best Hawk overall in this series. <br><br>

C'mon Hawks! Time to double down!!!<img src="http://static.yuku.com/domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/pimp.gif"><br><br>
C<br><br>
Look for Toews to come up big along with Niemi...lottsa goals...5-3 Hawks I say.<img src="http://static.yuku.com/domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/wink.gif">
<p>I think it'll be a big night for the orange as it's almost like a 'must win' for them as they can't afford to go back to chitown down 3-1. I'm looking for Richards to get it going as he really hasn't been on his game....where are all the big timely hits & fast pursuit of the puck he's so famous for.....maybe playing with an injury??....who knows. Philly's very lucky that it's a 2-1 series right now.....easily could be 3-0. Should be another great game tonight. <img style="WIDTH: 25px; HEIGHT: 18px" height="18" src="http://redlinesonlinemessageboard.yuku.com/domain/bypass/images/thumbsup.gif" width="25"> </p>
What a game! This one had everything in it....crazy crowd, heated hatred, big hits, offense, defence, broken records, & a now tied-up series > <em><strong>exactly</strong></em> why this is the <strong><em>greatest sport on the planet</em></strong>.

Kane was by far the best skater on the ice last night. If any of you hockey aficionados noticed there was a Hawks powerplay where all 5 guys touched the puck within 7 seconds, a thing of beauty that resulted in a PP Goal.<br><br>
Real he-men play hockey!<br><br>

"Real he-men play hockey!"
Lee Stempniak jersey on the right, also played here locally in the West Seneca system, as a matter of fact my son's present coach played with Lee for 4 years from minors to pee-wee's...<br><br>
He now plays for the Maple Leafs.<br><br>
Colin<br><br>
Just can't leave it alone, huh Greg?
That's so cool Colin about your son's coach. Lucky me I married a Leafs fan, as my wife's from Toronto so I know that Stempniak was traded to Phoenix from the Leafs around late Feb or early March of this year, if I remember right?
