Response to the article...Thanks for the kind words. Response to the article has been mostly positive but I have to admit you aren't the first Hawks fan to disagree with that Football on Ice point. Dunno, just writing about what I saw and I definitely felt Chicago played closer to the line than Detroit did in games 5-6. I didn't really talk much about the first 3 games so I didn't get a chance to mention how poor the reffing was against Chicago in game 3. To be fair, the reffing was BRUTAL for the Wings in game 6 so I kinda feel like that all evened up in the end.<br /><br />At the end of the day tho it's pretty obvious that the officials in this series were terrible, inconsistent and at times borderline malicious. I'm glad nobody died.<br /><br />Thanks for the comment and feel free to stop by and check out my blog again any time. I can't always write about Hockey but it's actually my favorite of the 4 major American pro sports. Good luck against LA; Quick is a beast but someone has got to beat him before he steals a Cup for LA.<br /><br />The Cardboard Witchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04109945892303535913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7643946947063737555.post-68472564393255334242013-05-31T06:06:31.979-07:002013-05-31T06:06:31.979-07:00As a Hawks fan (came across this article on Reddit...As a Hawks fan (came across this article on Reddit), I think this is a great breakdown of the series. The only point I would argue with is in your Football on the Ice section. I think Chicago started to do more of the "away from the play garbage" because the Wings had been doing it all series and weren't getting called.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
