Kane's heroics extend Hawks streak to 22

Kane's heroics extend Hawks streak to 22
I’m sure you’ve heard people say, “Never in doubt.”  Of course, typically when people use that phrase, whatever they’re referring to was certainly in doubt, and there was a large level of stress before the positive result manifested itself.  When I said it to my wife after today’s Blackhawks win, for the first time, I...

A few days ago, I told Hawk fans not to panic…well…I guess you were all right. After falling behind three games to none to Vancouver Sunday night, it’s all over but the shouting for the Blackhawks.
