Series Thread: WCF: Chicago Blackhawks vs Anaheim Ducks (Blackhawks win 4-3).

[Hatter]

I hope the Hawks take it in 4. I'm a big Toews and Hossa fan.

Interviewer to Kesler after elimination;

"With all of your emotional losses throughout your career, internationally or with the Canucks, where does this one stack up?"

[tvp2003]

Hawks in quadruple overtime in Game 7, winning goal is a deflection off of Kesler's face.

Karma bodychecks Perry into the boards but he miraculously survives with both knees intact. Ends up with a double sports hernia though.

Pulling for the Hawks. As the team that I had cheered for I as a kid, I cannot help but cheer for them now that Calgary is out.

[CSharp]

Man, I really don't want either of these two teams to win, especially Kesler. So, Go Hawks.

Hawks in 6.

Kane and Toews are going to expose Anderson's weaknesses. I expect the Blackhawks to win in 6 as well.

Few reporters saying that game 1 will be Sunday afternoon.

[Sylvanfan]

Chicago in 5. Call it the Kesler effect

Well that's one way to submarine ratings on your biggest series.

Is the Honda Centre being used for something else until then? If that's not the case, seems weird that they'd have so much time off.

I am not a fan of either team but I am fully on the 'Hawks bandwagon.

Chicago in 7 only because I can't get enough playoff hockey. Otherwise I'd love a sweep.

Concert on Saturday that features Kanye West.

Will take a few days to setup his ego.

Hawks in 7. Anaheim will be tough to beat at home, but I expect Chicago to win their home games, since they can get their matchups out to exploit the Ducks. Then in game 7, Toews, Kane and Keith take over to win the series

[bbtran]

I'll be in Chicago late next week so likely for games 4 and 6 (if necessary)...ideas on the best way to secure tickets? Is there a calgarypuck equivalent?

So far the cheapest tickets I've seen are on Ticketsnow. Corner 300 Level for $200/seat. Stubhub was a bit higher. I'm probably looking to be in the $200-$250 range a seat.

Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

Make sure you wear your Flames jersey and cheer for the Hawks!

I don't like Kesler as much as the next guy but wouldn't the Ducks sweeping their way to the cup say a lot about the Flames?

If nobody else can beat them we know how close the Flames really are

If Tampa wins the cup, will it change your opinion of Montreal?

If Chicago wins it, does that make Nashville any better?

[N-E-B]

I hate Kesler and Perry but I hate Chicago more. Ducks in 7.
