Anaheim Ducks defenseman James Wisniewski left the ice on a stretcher late in the second period of Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday night.

Wisniewski was hit in the chest with a shot taken by Detroit center Pavel Datsyuk during an extended shift in the Anaheim zone.

Not to nitpick, but...

What is wrong with this picture?

Tonight's 3 stars in the Hawks' 4-1 series clinching victory:

Dustin Byfuglien- 1 G, 2 A

Cory Sarich- 0 G, 0 A

Nikolai Khabibulin - 43 Saves, 97.7 SV%

One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just doesn't belong. I know that star ratings are completely subjective, and in the grand scheme of the Blackhawks moving on to Round 2, it's totally meaningless, but who's the schmuck that thought Cory Sarich was the second best player on the ice tonight. A defensemen who was -1 on the night, didn't contribute to his team's only goal, and whose only positive on the night seemed to be that he had one less hit than Seabrook's game-leading 5.

Did anyone see anything in Sarich I didn't, or did the partisan voters give it to him simply for showing up and playing (sort of) hurt?

Regardless, I'm glad to be done with the Flames for the year. Let us turn our attention to an even bigger hurdle: facing Roberto Luongo in the playoffs without the security blanket of home ice advantage.

LET'S GO HAWKS!!

At his current pace, Jim Thome will hit his 600th and 700th homer this season.

Playoffs!

Long time coming, but playoff tickets are on sale, and, most likely, will be sold out within a few hours.

So, who got playoff tickets? Which game? What section?

I got 4 seats in section 322 for the first home game of round 2. I'm optimistic.

I just hope they do better than the White Sox did when I got tickets to their first round.

Let's Go Hawks! Let's Go Hawks! Let's Go Hawks!

Vote Hawks

So I posted a comment yesterday promoting the idea of knocking the Redwings out of the All-Star starting lineup by voting for Jerome Iginla and Dion Phaneuf. Today I discovered the most wonderful thing...

Current Leaders

Western Conference

Leading Forwards

Kane, Patrick -     390033

Getzlaf, Ryan -     380552

Hossa, Marian -     324553

Toews, Jonathan -321868

Captain Serious made a serious jump in the last 24 hrs and is now a measly 2,685 votes out of the 3rd spot.

So forget Iginla, Vote Tazer!

Let's Go Hawks!
