Tonight we went to the Untied Center for game 3 of the Blackhawks – Canucks series. The Canucks won 3-1 in a rather lackluster showing by the Hawks. I did manage to get some good photos of the game. This is the second time I’ve used my new Nikon D40 at a Hawks’ game.

Last night we went to Game 5 of the Blackhawks opening round playoff against the Calgary Flames. This was the first game of the series in which the Blackhawks looked dominant going up 3-0 early in the first period. Chicago now leads the series 3-2 with game six back in Calgary (odds are there will be a game 7 in Chicago later in the week).

Last night Julie and I went to the Penguins – Blackhawks game at the United Center. The Pens managed to give up two separate two goal leads but Malkin put it away 5-4 in OT. There were a ton of goals down by our side of the ice which was great. A good mix of Pens fans in attendance as well.
The Blackhawks have been doing promo giveaways before a bunch of games all season long. Last night’s was a Hawks hardhat. When Jonathan Toews of the Blackhawks scored his first career hat trick the promo hardhats made their way onto the ice. After an instant replay review the goal was called off but Toews managed to score another goal a couple minutes later and the hardhats poured down again.
The Pens went into OT on the power play and Malkin scored the game winner about a minute into the extra period.
Great game.
