What a great game. Tonight’s the kind of night where you drink a couple of beers, put your feet up and enjoy the fact that the Hockey gods smiled on your team. 43 seconds in Havlat went ahead and reminded me why I had missed him for the last 22 games of the season. That smooth break up of Lecavelier’s rush on goal and just a fast tap right into the net. Even better in the second period where 12 seconds in after a winning face off Havlat smacked it into the Lightning’s goal.

Two goals for Havlat, and one goal each for Sharp, Byfuglien, Tarnasky and Toews. I like the way Chicago plays with divine intervention and even more when the Hawks are healthy. Final Score Chicago 5, Tampa Bay 1.
