The thoughts and feelings of a lapsed catholic and a disillusioned liberal. Yes I can.

Schooled in mo town....
The puck sailed past Corey Crawford's right shoulder; a rocket that hit the net with enough force to send the biscuit careening back towards center ice like a runaway projectile. The look on Crawfords' face said it all. For Hawks fans, visions of Crawfords' playoff flop against Phoenix danced in their heads. On a warm night in Detroit, the Hawks had no answer for a Red Wing team that seemed destined to show the hockey world that the rumors of their demise have been greatly exaggerated. After watching Detroit frustrate and plain out skate the Hawks from the opening face off on, the Red Wings might have more life than people think. Especially if Corey Crawford continues to be outplayed by Jimmy Howard and especially if the Hawks continue to look for the calvary every time they're physically engaged. Or maybe this is a good thing, maybe a litter adversity is what every championship team needs. But if the Hawks are using the old rope-a dope technique, the question remains. Do you they have enough will to get up and fight before it's to late. Past history, IE, last year's Phoenix series, suggests otherwise. But who knows? Maybe the pendulum of momentum will swing back to the Hawks and the order of the hockey universe as we think we now it will reverse back on its axis once again. Or maybe this is one of those hockey occurrences where the old dog has one more lesson to teach their fiercest rival before realignment reduces them to mere acquaintances. You can worry now Hawks nation, you can worry.
