RT @TramyersCSN: Sharp on the power play: "It was brutal." #Blackhawks 10:17:14 PM May 23, 2013 from Twitter for Android
My blood feels like lava running through my veins. So frustrated and disappointed. #Blackhawks 09:47:11 PM May 23, 2013 from Twitter for Android
@ChicagoSide It doesn't look like the Blackhawks believe in the Blackhawks... 09:03:37 PM May 23, 2013 from Twitter for Android in reply to ChicagoSide
My patience is running out, and there seems to be more excuses than Hawks have taken penalties. Make a play. Score a goal. Win a game. 08:59:18 PM May 23, 2013 from Twitter for Android
It'd be nice if the Hawks could generate the scoring chances Detroit does on their penalty kill, you know, while on the PP and all. 08:25:06 PM May 23, 2013 from Twitter for Android

Here’s my voting for the BBA’s Goose Gossage Award given to the top closer in each league.

NATIONAL LEAGUE

1. Craig Kimbrel, Atl: Set rookie saves record (46) and held opponents to a .178 avg.

2. John Axford, Mil: Went 46/48 in save opportunities. Has a great closer’s stache to boot!

3. Joel Hanrahan, Pit: Four blown saves and allowed just one HR in 70 appearances. Best closer no one has heard of.

AMERICAN LEAGUE

1. Jose Valverde, Det: Went 49/49 in save opportunities. You can’t top perfect.

2. Mariano Rivera, NYY: Allowed just 13 runs in 61.1 IP with a 0.90 WHIP.

3. Jonathan Papelbon, Bos: Blew three saves while striking out 87 in 64.1 IP.
