Chicago 365 Playoff Central: To Live to Fight another Day

     First up, the theme music:

     The Chicago Blackhawks opened up tonight's tilt on very unstable ground.  The Kings were up 3 games to 2, and we were in LA.  The slightest mis-step would have doomed the Hawks to elimination.  Luckily, the team brought their A game.  Throughout the first period, the Hawks were silent on the puck, but LA wasn't and they struck first 17 minutes into the game.  The Hawks came back in the second, scoring 2 unanswered goals to make the score 2-1 Hawks at the end of 2 periods.  Then in the 3rd, both teams came out in a mad scramble.  The Kings scored 2 goals within 2 minutes of each other(yeah, big deal.  Get back to me when you get 2 in 17 seconds) to retake the lead, 3-2.  Luckily, the Hawks woke back up and scored 2 more goals to pull ahead 4-3, which became the final score.  The Blackhawks rose to the challenge and won Game 6, staving off elimination till at least Sunday.  Game 7 is back home at the United Center.  Whoever wins that game wins a date with a trophy that they won't touch, and an opponent(the New York Rangers) that won't let up.  Sounds like fun.

Till Sunday,

 

GO HAWKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
