Game Seven: Chicago Blackhawks 3, St. Louis Blues 2 (OT)

Box Score
Highlights (just skip to the third period)


This was a game about midway through the third period I had doubts creeping in about going out on a school night. Oh ye of little faith. Jesus. Marian. Hossa. That was definitely the best hockey game I've been to since game four vs. the Sharks last May.


Let's try a different approach - a recap in pictures taken by yours truly. Mostly because I'm tired and don't feel like writing much.

I'll never get sick of gazing up at this

I'm sure Turco would love to have that first goal back (what was Seabrook doing - swimming?), but he kept the Hawks in this game. He stopped 32 of 34 and should have been the third star for his play in OT alone. 

I'm a big queer and honestly I want to have this man's babies. Think winning the Cup took a lot of weight off of Hossa's shoulders? He took this game over. Period.


Kopecky lost his helmet during play. At this point that's the only bad thing I'll say about him - he had another damn assist. 

Don't worry Tazer - soon it will be November and you can play catch up with Sharpie and Hoss with a point per game clip. Seriously though - why u have slow start always? Too excited for Halloween?

Bickell did well in a scrap with Backes - although Backes was a puss and didn't take his helmet with a visor off. Hey Q, we already have someone who is willing to scrap. So sit John Scott and his 2 minutes of TOI and put someone in who isn't a traffic cone! COME ON!

Duncs is sad because he realizes he is playing terrible as of late. I lost count of how many times he and Seabs made a poor pass or turned the puck over. I had more confidence in Toftbo & Boynton by far. Make this stop, Dunc, make it stop.

Nothing like putting a wrestling hold on our captain after you just shit the bed and let us tie you up in the third. Fuck these guys.

Jaroslav Halak was seven minutes away from a shutout - then he took a stupid interference penalty and Marian Hossa decided he had had enough. I'd almost feel bad for him if he wasn't on the Blues.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! SHARPIE!!!!1!!

Well that was a fun one, no doubt. I'm sure Friday's rematch in St. Louis will be a treat. Speaking of which, our friend Bobby Lu got pulled after two periods after treating the *Wild* to a six spot. And Rick Rypien went after a fan who, get this, clapped. Stay classy Vancouver - see you guys tomorrow night!

Backes isn't allowed to remove his visor during fights. I don't want his pretty face messed up :)

Well if he's sensitive about the face, he shouldn't drop the gloves ;)
