What Sound Does A Blackhawk Make?

~What sound does a blackhawk make?

It sounds something like 19000+ crazy fans screaming inside The United Center in Chicago!!

Deafening, I would assume.

Now unfortunately game 6 of the Hawks-Flames series, in which the Blackhawks dominated, was in Calgary, so everyone left with their hearing intact.

Calgary fans only had one occasion to cheer, when Bertuzzi scored his first and last goal of the 2009 Stanley Cup playoffs, at the beginning of the 3rd period. The Flames were already down by three and Dustin Byfuglien eventually potted an empty netter to make it 4-1 and finish the Flames season.

Chicago, finally back in the playoffs, with more then just fighting words, a legitimate chance.

Youth is proving to be quite an asset. Experience is sparse upfront, but strong between the pipes. It's possible that 17 players on the Hawks roster could have made their post season debut this season.
