Bolland breaks tie as Blackhawks take 3-2 series lead over Canucks
VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- With Chicago on a power play and the puck on Patrick Kane's stick, David Bolland found a soft spot behind the Canucks defense and trusted the puck was coming. The hardest part was waiting for it.
When the puck finally arrived, Bolland patiently gathered it and then snapped a shot past the stick of a diving Roberto Luongo and into an empty net. The goal with 5:05 left gave the Chicago Blackhawks the lead they turned into a 4-2 victory over Vancouver on Saturday night in Game 5 of the Western Conference semifinal series. Courtesy of espn.com
Another exciting, great game between the Blackhawks and the Canucks. The Hawks let Vancouver have too many good chances in deep, but they came away win a much-needed win. The series returns to Chicago for game six on Monday night.
Yeah -- the referees made some shitty calls aganinst the Canucks (and the Hawks, I might add), but that is still no excuse for the Canuck fans to litter the ice when they are unhappy -- which they did twice. What would they think if one of the Sedin brothers skated into a piece of garbage and tore up his knee?
I called this series for the Hawks in six. I hope I am right. The Hawks certainly do not want to go back to Vancouver for a game seven.
"A boy's best friend is his mother. " Norman Bates
Hmmm ... I don't think I have had the same relationship with my mother that Norman had ...
... but I have always known that no matter what happened, my mother would be there for me. She is 84 and going strong. Some gifts from God are wonderful!
... she has become a beautiful young lady. And yes ... that is the prom dress that she picked out with her mother.
First blogger to remark how she must get her good looks from her mother will be buying the first round at the WSOP or the next blogger gathering. And yeah -- I know at least a dozen bloggers that are thinking it. So there.

Happy Mother's Day to your wife.
As a dad of 2 daughters, I know full well they get their good looks from the mother...
I won't say anything about the looks, only to point out that you must be an old mofo to have a 17-year-old daughter.
Dude that table was crazy, I cracked AA, you crack AA, Chippy calls a raise with K-10o, your guy gets it in with squadoosh.
Brit Blogger ftw!
Ha TJ -- I believe I was 13 at the time of her birth-- very mature for my age.
ditto to what OhCaptain said....
You're only as old as you act and feel, right? (I keep telling myself that.)
I won't make any comments about her looks.
But I will say that I <3 the dress. She looks fabulous!
Speaking as a forlorn Canucks fan:
blue is a nice colour.
