Hartnell had a great game, with a couple goals and a nifty interference play on Duncan Keith that could have (should have?) been called a penalty but instead led to another goal.
And what happened to Pronger? He was the best player on the ice in Games 1-4 but disappeared in Games 5 and 6. He had a miserable Game 5. Then in Game 6 he's sitting in the penalty box while the Blackhawks take the lead. Later he chose to let Andrew Ladd skate in completely alone (although Ladd didn't score on that occasion). Watching the game on TV I even asked myself, "Where is Pronger?" Normally you see and feel his presence constantly. Not last night. The box score shows that he was out there, but it didn't look like it.
As for the Philadelphia fans, what a bunch of losers. Sticking around just to boo. Pathetic. I mean, it's perfectly acceptable (and expected, even) to boo Gary Bettman--he deserves it, in every NHL arena. But show a little class and at least throw a golf clap to the winning team.
And a blast from the past. Here is a picture from when my Blackhawks won the championship! Yes, I wore this jersey to work today.
