Few sounds are cooler than the collective roar of a hockey rink as the fans realize something big-ish is happening, like that 2 on 1 rush just now led by Hossa.
 
AKA the Marco Sturm roar.

I'm absolutely rooting for Tampa to tie it because I want more hockey, but fuck if the Hawks aren't an amazing team and worth rooting for. Great players, great coach, great fan base.

Just so long as they're winning.  Used to love going to Hawks games for $5 growing up though.  Same with the B's in college too.

I know you guys probably dislike him but as a casual hockey fan Doc does a great job with these broadcasts.
I don't have an issue with him outside of his inability to read the correct numbers.  Makes me think there was a line shake up or something.

Hawks are collapsing on the net in the D zone and only forechecking one guy soft.  Gonna need sustained zone time to get any sort of a chance.

Tampa should have another chance at this in the next few years...maybe.

Chicago is fucking impressive. Good for them.

I feel like the whole series Tampa has been pushing and pushing and can't score and then Chicago gets a chance and scores.
Should have just had the first Tampa pp of the game and instead it's 2-0. Tough.

Agreed.  Tampa has played really well, and outplayed Chicago for a lot of the series.  Just haven't been able to finish.  Crawford has been outstanding.
