Rematch! Hawks take Game 1 agains Kings, but not without controversy

The Blackhawks again will have to go through the L.A. Kings to reach the Stanley Cup Final. And we have all the photos, GIFs, video and fun stuff you need from their Game 1 victory.

That's better.

Hey @LAKings , how come the players' bios on the team website are several years behind? #Blackhawks

by Christopher Sosa via twitter 5/18/2014 5:26:01 PM
So, #Blackhawks fans, @JonathanQuick32 's team bio says his favorite road arena is the UC. Thoughts?

by Christopher Sosa via twitter 5/18/2014 5:29:02 PM
This Kangaroo is hopping off to the @unitedcenter to watch the Blackhawks, and tweet from the @redeyesportschi account.

The LA Kings haven't updated player bios on their site since 2011. Absolutely 0% of Jonathan Quick's favorite TV shows are still airing. #KingsFacts

by Ernest Wilkins 5/18/2014 5:33:37 PM
UC is quiet right now. Almost peaceful. Not for long.

by RedEye Chicago 5/18/2014 5:40:08 PM
.@LAKings are SLOW to update team bios. Which means @ErnestWilkins and I have our live blog thread: trib.in/1p3qlIR #Blackhawks

by Christopher Sosa via twitter 5/18/2014 6:02:51 PM
All right, #Blackhawks fans, officially handing my account to Aussie @pwilkins10 for today's game. Welcome him. Be nice ... If you have to.

It's the Australian Blackhawks fan here. Just arrived at the @unitedcenter , have already met @Anthem_Singer ! #gohawks http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bn8JF-pIYAAn_2_.jpg

The @nhlblackhawks are offering these Kane/Toews playoff beard tees in the team store today

by Ernest Wilkins 5/18/2014 7:01:59 PM
Warmup skate or ant pile? #Blackhawks #nhlplayoffs

by Ernest Wilkins via twitter 5/18/2014 7:05:38 PM
Hawks starters today: Hjalmarsson, Oduya, Toews, Bickell, Hossa, Crawford.

Kings defenseman Willie Mitchell's nickname is "Pickle." Make of that what you will.

Nothing, not even a hangover the size of Uluru would stop me from being here today. #aussieblackhawk http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bn8NyAHIcAAw64G.jpg

"I can't believe the Kings would want to face the Hawks again. Are they nuts?" (Brian Cassella/Tribune)

by RedEye Chicago 5/18/2014 7:17:44 PM
Even an Aussie like me can recognize that @Anthem_Singer does the best anthem in the world. #aussieblackhawk http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bn8PnP2IYAAeEQd.jpg

Hawks already look smoother with the puck in this game than they did all series against Minnesota. OK, slight exaggeration maybe, but still.

by RedEye Chicago 5/18/2014 7:27:30 PM
.@NHLBlackhawks Alright, here’s the wager; loser has to change twitter picture and name to opposing logo and hashtag. Deal?

by LA Kings via twitter 5/18/2014 7:28:42 PM
The @NHLBlackhawks have come out looking better than Miranda Kerr sunbathing on Bondi Beach. #Blackhawks #aussieblackhawk

by Christopher Sosa via twitter 5/18/2014 7:31:00 PM
We've hit the first TV timeout, and the Hawks are outshooting the Kings 5-1. Just a little bit different from what we saw against the Wild.

by RedEye Chicago 5/18/2014 7:31:23 PM
Anze Kopitar says if he weren't a hockey player, he'd be an architect. He's in the right place then, eh?

by RedEye Chicago 5/18/2014 7:39:28 PM
I don't know what Bollig said just there, but it worked on Alec Martinez. Power play time!

by RedEye Chicago 5/18/2014 7:46:16 PM
DAGGER TIME

by Ernest Wilkins 5/18/2014 7:48:15 PM
SSSSSSAAAAAAAADDDDDDD!!!! Nice tip off the Leddy blast.

by RedEye Chicago 5/18/2014 7:48:25 PM
Hit on Bollig in the first

by jgalliart 5/18/2014 7:48:57 PM
The Blackhawks, who are clearing using some sort of Game Genie to keep the puck in play, fire one past Quick. #LAKings trail 1-0.

by LA Kings via twitter 5/18/2014 7:50:58 PM
GOAL: The first goal of the WCF goes to the @NHLBlackhawks courtesy of Brandon Saad off Nick Leddy's blast from the point. 1-0. #StanleyCup

by NHL via twitter 5/18/2014 7:51:17 PM
Saad! As they would say in Australia, 'You bloody ripper, mate!' #Blackhawks #aussieblackhawk

Hawks lead in shots after the first period, 7-5. Kings lead in boneheaded penalties, 1-0.

Jarret Stoll says he helps the environment by "never littering." Uh, that's it? (Tribune photo)

by RedEye Chicago 5/18/2014 8:04:54 PM
GOAL! Nice work by the Tribune's Scott Strazzante.

Blackhawks retake the ice for the second period. They were out-hit 20-17 in the first. Which is a lot of hits, really, by both teams.

by RedEye Chicago 5/18/2014 8:15:43 PM
TTTTTTTOOOOOOEEEEEWWWWWSSSS. No one is sure how it went in, but that's the Captain for ya. 2-0!

by RedEye Chicago 5/18/2014 8:22:45 PM
Looks like Voynov kicked it in.

by RedEye Chicago 5/18/2014 8:23:44 PM
Update: Goal disallowed. And Quenneville is PISSED.

by RedEye Chicago 5/18/2014 8:24:53 PM
Goalie interference was why that goal was disallowed. Coach Q still fuming. Yikes.

by RedEye Chicago 5/18/2014 8:26:24 PM
In Australia, we call our captains a 'Skipper'. Jonathan Toews is freakin amazing. #Blackhawks #aussieblackhawk #skipper

by Christopher Sosa via twitter 5/18/2014 8:26:36 PM
Ugh. Easy redirect for Tyler Toffoli there, and we've got a 1-1 game.

by RedEye Chicago 5/18/2014 8:27:35 PM
Another view of that disallowed goal.

by jgalliart 5/18/2014 8:27:56 PM
Since the @LAKings chose to ignore updating their player bios, we're going to go ahead and help them out. Time for #KingsFacts!
