I'll be there for my first playoff game. Pumped!

Can you park in the UC lots without a pre-paid parking pass? Just pay cash like you do at the Cell/G Spot?

Lots across street take cash. Don't know about UC lots.

I mismarked this map a little. Where it says PARKING BY CHURCH, that should be in the same block as "B" Lot. That's where I usually park my truck. It's probably the easiest lot to get out of. There are also cash lots all along Damen from Warren to Adams. There are more cash lots out by Paulina. Sadly, as far as I know, all the free parking streets have been converted to neighborhood tag streets.

Thanks.

Well, since this thread is here (usually we go by the series, but whatever), time to starting getting pumped.

We get the Perds, who while they can score a bit, don't scare me in the least, especially since HEEEEEEEYYYYYY Pekka Rinne is still in goal. He has had an average (for him) regular season, but usually wilts in the playoffs. The Hawks just own the guy when it counts.

Hawks in 5.

My bad

Any unique food items up on the 300 level for dinner at the UC? What's everybody's go-to??

Best UC parking is across from West End Bar. There is an indoor parking garage that charges about $10. It's a short walk to the stadium, plus you can hang out at West End before the game. It also makes getting out easier because you are already that far east on Madison after the game. It's at Madison and Ada.

They'll probably lose tonight. The Preds will be amped up and the Hawks won't take it seriously. The Hawks are terrible in Game 1s.

I am guessing this is a different Hawks team. They'll come out strong, win Game 1 and make this a short series. There is too much depth up and down the line-up. I wouldn't be shocked by a weak first period given the return of Ani and the resultant line juggling that will occur because of that. But I expect them to carry the play and take down the Preds.

Not from what I remember. 100 level has tons of unique food choices. 200 level has generic stuff so I'm assuming 300 level is the same way. I haven't been in the 300 level since 2010 though.

I wouldn't be surprised by a Game 1 loss too because the Hawks need to get the juices flowing again but no way they lose this series unless someone important gets hurt.

They should definitely win the series, but it wouldn't be the Hawks without forgetting to flip the switch. Series probably goes LWLWWW, though by rights it should be a sweep.

Last five Game 1's in Round 1 the Hawks have been in have gone into to overtime and I have to get up for work tomorrow earlier than usual.

Ah, fuck.

We good gay. Win in regulation.

You guys are too deep in the forest to see the trees. They aren't gonna lose to a team from fucking Nashville. Hawks sweep.

As Darko will tell you I have not posted a lot here since the Hawks have become elite Kaner realized being a the stud in the regular season means shit....he will be a bitch in the playoffs.Later

I'm going to bounce from the spot for awhile but I will be back at some point to argue with you about this hoops stuff again. Playoffs have been great this season. See ya up the road.

I'm out.

hmmmmm

What channel you guys watching the game on?

I want to watch it on nbcsp because the production is better but Albert is such an awful announcer. Tough call.

Um, since basically the first round is the only chance at the home game call, choose CSN.
