Hawks Hockey Hoiden

Thank you Blackhawks for a great season!!!

The very hard Kronwall hit on Martin Havlat (which did not appear to be a dirty hit, despite what some Hawks fans and Brian Campbell would like to believe) in game three of the Western Conference Finals match-up between the Blackhawks and the Red Wings would come to bear in game four.  Jonathan Toews, who would end up scoring the only goal for the Hawks in game four, said before the game that the Hawks weren’t out for revenge on Niklas Kronwall for his “dirty” hit on Havlat.  No, seemed the Hawks were looking to self-destruct instead, probably as a result of being psyched out by the Kronwall hit, though only the Hawks know for sure.

Warning, this clip from the Blackhawks/Red Wings game yesterday of Adam Burish getting cut by Ben Eager’s skate after a check goes awry is a bit graphic with the close-up and all, so if you can’t handle the sight of blood, DO NOT WATCH IT!!

Oh my gosh, this looks even worse than yesterday when I saw it. It is a miracle that Adam Burish did not get cut so severely that he bled out! This has got to be a hockey player’s (and a fan’s) worst nightmare! Thank God (and I did) Bur was not seriously injured!
