What a great game that was-- I hope the Pens series is as exciting, from the jump.

Sorry, hut submit too soon.

I have a question for anyone who has seen more hockey than I have. :~) I noticed, in the faceoffs, that at least one of the Hawks was doing a wiggly thing with his stick blade. I know that the visiting team has to put stick down first, but I suspect that what I saw was not nerves, but a tactic to distract the home-team's face-off opponent. Being from Chicago and all, I can see that emanating from there... :~)

I did not see the jersey name/number each time to see if it was one guy (nerves) or two (purposeful).

So did anyone see more than one guy doing that, and is it legal, and what do you think about it? Keep an eye out in the next Hawks game and you should see what I saw if you have not already.
