Dave the Killer

The foil.
And go Wings.

Sorry but the Olympics were interesting because of the USA vs. Canada matchup on Canada's home ice. But come on...it is still just hockey, even if it is the finals (yawn). I put it slightly ahead of NASCAR, but that is just me.

If I lived in Ellensburg cars driving in a circle would be a highlight, next to huckin cow pies.

The game of hockey made that matchup what it was. It could of been Russia, Sweden, Finland--just shows that not just one country dominates the sport. As for the NHL Playoffs there is no comparison in professional sports. Thats just me

Its getting good down to Blackhawks vs. San Jose..who played a hellva game tonight. Hawks up 3-0 with Patrick Marlaue (Seattle Thunderbird now Shark-got the last 4 goals for the Sharks)

Eastern--is Montreal Canadiens(Habs) vs Philly Flyers..series 2-1 Flyers.Game tomorrow.

Game on its a battle

Great game today. As a Chicago native, it is exciting to see the Blackhawks doing well. Bit of a nail biter today with a lot of shots on the Blackhawks' goal in the third period, but they managed to pull it off.

Hockey is best appreciated in Canada, in a bar full of drunken, rabid fans.

Another battle starts today between Blackhawks and San Jose- Game 4.

Hawks' Keith loses seven teeth in Game 4 win

There were plenty of smiles going around the Blackhawks' dressing room following their four-game sweep of the Sharks. Duncan Keith, however, wasn't flashing his pearly whites. Or what was left of them.

The veteran defenseman lost seven teeth when he was hit in the mouth with a puck off the stick of Patrick Marleau during the second period of the Hawks' 4-2 victory in Game 4 of the Western Conference finals Sunday afternoon at the United Center.

"I just smashed all my teeth out," Keith said as he opened his mouth to reveal the damage. "They numbed it after it happened; they just stuck a bunch of needles in there and froze it all up. It feels a lot better when we win. It would probably be hurting a lot more if we lost."

Keith lost four teeth on the bottom and three on top and said afterward he had a long night ahead of him at the dentist.

"I took one breath and it felt like my whole mouth was missing so I knew there were some teeth gone," Keith said. "I saw a couple fall out and I had one in the back of my throat. I could feel it and coughed it out. A bunch of them disintegrated it felt like.

"That sort of thing happens. I'm not the only guy who's ever lost bunch of teeth or been hit in the mouth with a puck or stick and I'm sure I won't be the last guy."

Despite the damage, Keith returned a short time later and assisted on Dave Bolland's game-tying goal and finished with a game-high 29 minutes 2 seconds of ice time.

"I told him it's kind of a blessing in disguise because now he's going to get some nice fake teeth," teammate Patrick Sharp said. "He's going to have a great smile in a couple weeks. That's playoff hockey (written) all over it. A guy takes one in the face, picking out his teeth in the locker room (and) comes back. He assisted on the Bolland goal there, created the whole goal there by taking a big hit. He's walking around, skating around the ice, talking to us before the power play, mumbling what we were supposed to do. I don't think anybody understood what he was talking about."

Good job Hawks game one winners. 11 goals is unheard of for a Stanley Cup.goalies are gonna step up and the hits are gonna get harda..Gonna get betta. Monday in Chicago.

Chicago fan now! Love to see the youngster Toews step up as the captain tonight. He reminds me a bit of Yzerman and that's enough to make me a 'Hawks fan.
