I like how NBC’s guest commentator Jeremy Roenick described tonight’s Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals between the Blackhawks and the Flyers as “smash mouth hockey.”  Yep.  Old school.  That’s what fans, new and old, have been waiting to see.  Less pansying up the game of hockey, more just letting the boys go.  Those zebras sure did miss some calls on the Flyers though!

Tonight it was “May the best men win,” and they did as the Hawks won 2-1 against the Flyers to take the second game (after the Hawks took the Flyers 6-5 in the opener).  Bang on boys!
