The difference is one team can keep the puck in the zone and the other team lets every puck get by them. My hockey knowledge is not deep enough to really get critical here, but I just dont understand what the Hawks defensemen are doing on offense. They just have to keep those pucks in the zone.

I like that the Hawks put a lot of pucks towards the goal and made Lou work. They are definitely right there.

Its game 7 away, they are going to get the calls. Hawks have to flat out beat them, and that starts with killing this power play.

Lou is clearly uncomfortable back there. Just gotta keep the pressure up and not give him long stretches where he isnt tested.

Just keep putting shots at Lou, eventually those rebounds will hopefully find a guy and get in the net.

Series is over, he wanted to go out with a bang. Its a lot easier to do something crazy when you wont be playing until who knows when.

Lou looks really shaky. But of course the Blackhawks defense cant start a period without giving up some great chances. Just need to tie it up.

Lillibridge owns NY is what happened.

So far looking good for 2 of Chicago's sports teams. The biggest risk is that Indiana tries to hurt some one.

I just cant stop laughing.

Let me repeat: So for all Thorntons bad breaks against KC, Santos is getting some good breaks in NY

So for all Thorntons bad breaks against KC, Santos is getting some good breaks in NY

They called Thorntons fastball a magic fastball. I think the magics gone, players just seem to be more confident and he just hasnt been consistently throwing strikes.

Santos needs to bail out Ozzie again. 2 nights, 2 attempts to lose the game. Screw firing Walker, Ozzie doesnt even make it into the clubhouse.

Throw a damn strike at least make him beat you Screw you Ozzie, screw you seriously

That first pitch looked good.

Woot Ozzie got to call 1 play for the yankees!

I think now people will see why I was so ballistic last night. Ozzie didnt make Santos the closer, hes just dicking around and hoping for success.

Ugh, all my concerns last night have come to fruition. ozzie called for a lefty right?

I think it was way to easy to figure out Ozzie wanted to steal. Is it a late in the game? yes Is it Juan Pierre? yes Will the Sox attempt to steal? yes

I dont mind stealing bases. I mind trying to steal bases in obvious situations with a player who is 5/10 in sb (prior to being caught again) and who has been picked off a bunch of times too. And yah that out stings now.

I thought I read somewhere that Gordon decided to screw with his swing after his first season to try and get better at hitting breaking balls and just hasnt been the same since.

373 if you live in Chicago and have RCN. Its on comcast 2 + which for me is regularly Big 10 network.

The fuse is lit!

I understand the time line. Its just the German incident (imo) is the starting point for the entire economic period. You could actually argue that 1914 is the start, but I like to use the end of the war, because I think a lot of Germanys problems stemmed from the loser pays mentality after WWI, not to mention the crippling debt that Germany was already under to pay for the war. The stress just led to 0 confidence in Germany.
