No Panic With The Blackhawks

from Mike Imrem of the Chicago Daily-Herald,

The world isn't ending for the Blackhawks.

At some point it'll be time for Hawks fans to start worrying but not yet.

So far the faithful are advised to be like the Hawks themselves: pretty much unflappable.

Nonchalance didn't settle over the United Center in the first period Monday night when the Lightning took a 1-0 lead in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final.

But it wasn't panic either.

Only gasps, not screams, could be heard when the Lightning scored 13 seconds after the Hawks took a 2-1 lead in the third period.

Finally there were mumbles and grumbles when the Lightning scored with 3:11 in regulation for a 3-2 victory.

"A tough loss," Hawks coach Joel Quenneville mumbled and grumbled.

Still, does anyone around here believe the Hawks are dead because of this defeat?

Maybe it really is over before it's over this time, but the Hawks have withstood so many dire predicaments that it's easy to expect them to overcome the 2-1 deficit in the best-of-seven series.
