The Blackhawks set a record- and remind their fans why they hope

Anyone who wonders why we long-suffering fans of the Chicago Blackhawks are so hopeful about this team need not go back to last year's impressive regular season or amazing playoff run. All such a person needs to do is to look at tonight's game.

Calgary opened the game by scoring five unanswered goals. Cristobel Huet was pulled after allowing three goals in the Flames' first five shots . Backup Antti Niemi didn't look much better. Things didn't look good after the first period.

The Hawks then proceeded to tie an NHL record and set a team record for the biggest comeback in history by scoring five unanswered goals of their own- before winning it on a goal by Brent Seabrook 26 seconds into overtime.

The UC must have rocked tonight. Oh, how I wish I'd been there!
