Hawks-Flyers Game Five...
The Chicago Blackhawks defeated the Philadelphia Flyers 7-4 in what may have been one of the Hawks better games of the post season. Dustin Byfuglien lead the Hawks with two goals including an empty netter to end the contest.
The Hawks came out with plenty of jump and went up 3-0 in the first period. The teams alternated the next eight goals with the Flyers never cutting the lead to less than two. The Hawks picked up two power play goals after struggling on the man advantage in the first four games.
As good as the Flyers looked in Philadelphia, they looked even worse in Chicago. Chris Pronger was a minus five (and on the ice for a PP goal) for the evening and was drilled into the boards by Byfuglien in what was probably the statement play of the game.
When the game ended, Ben Eager was certain to make sure Pronger did not add another puck to his collection. After his poor performance, you would hope Pronger would have more on his mind.
The series returns to Philadelphia on Wednesday where the Flyers will try to keep the streak alive where home teams have won every game in the finals through five games.
Calder Cup...
The Texas Stars continued to confound the experts by beating the heavily favored Hershey Bears 4-3 again in game two on Saturday night. The game was tied with 45 seconds left when Travis Morin broke the tie and sent the Stars back to Texas with a 2-0 lead.
Tonight's game in Austin will start at 7:30 and will be available on XM Radio.

Around the NHL...
Hawknut has a good assessment of "bandwagon" fans and why teams need them at VFMS.
For what it is worth, here are the results of the KHL Draft held on Friday. Not many familiar names on the list. Pred's prospects Roman Josi was drafted 95th which makes little sense as he signed an entry level contract with the Preds a couple of weeks ago.
It looks like Ice Edge has taken the upper hand again with a vote scheduled for Tuesday night on an exclusive agreement to negotiate with the City of Glendale. Here is an analysis of the proposed agreement. This post also mentions a name change to the Arizona Coyotes.

Evolutionary biologist Mark Moffett looks at the social structure of any colonies and how it mimics human behavior. I wonder how it would change if they developed a Twitter app and could talk to other colonies?
