I’m A Bad Motherfucker And You Know This: Blues 1 – Hawks 5 (Hawks win series 4-2)
All series long, we kept saying and thinking that at some point the Hawks were going to grab this by the scruff, play their game, and wipe the Blues right out of the equation. We saw flashes of it. The first 38 minutes of Game 4, but that was undone by 15 minutes of pissing down their leg. There were moments in Game 5, but that was undone by surges by the Blues. Then you started to worry that the Hawks didn’t have it in the holster any more, that something was missing.
And then the 3rd period happened.

Blues At Blackhawks – Game 6 – Third Period Thread
Our lives are long
But our flesh is gone
It may be wrong
God bless godlessness
We’re walking tall
If we walk at all
We’re living like a Prehistoric dog -
Blues At Blackhawks – Game 6 – Second Period Thread
Prehistoric dogs of war
Pack of wolves is at your door
Their will to kill will fill the pits of hell
Blood is spilled and none too soon
Looking down from cratered moon
They see us flee, we need to break the spell. -
Blues At Blackhawks – Game 6 – First Period Thread
Dogs that howl from outer space
Come to Earth to lay waste
With fang and claw to shred your face
They will erase the human race

All The Heavy Lifting: Blues At Blackhawks Game 6 – Preview/Pre-Game Thread/Spring Fling
Game Time: 2:00PM Central
TV/Radio: CBC, NBC, RDS/87.7FM
Wondering If They’re Still Doomed To Repeat It: SLGTBy now, I’m sure you’ve read countless articles about the similarities between this current series and the Kings/Blues one from last season. Unless of course you only read this site for all your Hawks news, in which case, thank you, I guess. The similarities are pretty striking but don’t for one second think anything is a given in this game. While the Hawks record in elimination Game 6’s is stellar they must still focus on all the little things to fend off a team like the Blues who are going to be sure to throw everything they’ve got at the Hawks to bring the game back to St. Louis for one more go around.
