Hawks!

I never in my dreams thought the Hawks would take it in 4.

Wow.

How many teeth does the Cup cost?

Duncan Keith lost 4...but he said a couple of them were fakes, so he may have only lost two real ones.

I watched the post-game interview he gave. Every time he took a drink, I waited for it to all dribble down his front. He did dribble a little, but much less than I thought he would. Maybe the novocaine was already wearing off.

His mouth was a mess.

I thought interviewing him post-game was a little tacky . . .

I hope the reporters asked first, at least.

And I just read the Tribune write-up. Keith lost 7 teeth, not 4. Patrick Sharp said that after Keith returned to the game " He's walking around, skating around the ice, talking to us before the power play, mumbling what we were supposed to do. I don't think anybody understood what he was talking about."

I don't know whether he was hit with a stick or the puck, but it was nasty.

TV commentary said puck, but that is subject to the usual disclaimer.

The Trib said it was a puck, too.

Yet another comment about the teeth and Keith's locker room interview, from the Sun-Times:

Media relations director Brandon Faber soon came and took Keith away from the locker room, reminding all that the guy was, ahem, not feeling well.
