Hawks’ best players were invisible in Game 2 May 19, 2013 12:00 AM
If the Hawks are to rebound from Saturday’s horrendous effort and regain control of the Western Conference semifinal series with the Red Wings, it’s not going to be Stalberg who makes the difference.

Dream a little dream ... about hockey? May 19, 2013 12:00 AM
It’s over ... the dream is over ... the Blackhawks’ dream of winning the Stanley Cup is over.

For one thing, no offense to the Hawks or the NHL or Lord Stanley, but how can the dream be over if the last thing I dream about is hockey? I dream about string bikinis, Copper River salmon, 200 mph cars that get 100 mpg, a cure for the common belly, biggest-screen TVs and golf balls that have no idea how to slice. Oh, yeah, and a winning Powerball ticket ... until early Sunday morning I dreamed a lot about a winning Powerball ticket.

Red Wings’ play frustrates Blackhawks May 18, 2013 12:00 AM
It's not easy to frustrate Jonathan Toews, but Henrik Zetterberg and the Red Wings were able to do it Saturday. Zetterberg had 2 assists and got away with a few shots that the Blackhawks captain thought should have been penalties in Detroit's 4-1 win at the United Center in Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals. "I'm not going to go off and complain about some calls I thought should have been called or whatever, but if that's the way they're going to play we need to play the same way," Toews said. "There's a lot of clutch and grab, a lot of interference. If they're going to let that go, that's something we need to know and maybe do it to them a little bit." The Hawks were short-handed four times; the Red Wings twice.
