Game 7 Preview



Tonight, the "Madhouse on Madison" will be jumping like it hasn't in 2 years.  Not since the Blackhawks took the Cup in 2010, have the fans in Chicago have a reason to go nuts.  Tonight is a Game 7, and to make things even more crazy, it is against arch-rival Detroit.  This game will mark the 806th time that these two teams have faced off against each other.  And it will surely be one for the ages.

The momentum is clearly on the Blackhawks side, but remember, the Red Wings did win their Game 7 in Anaheim against the Ducks.  Tonight should be a classic.

I am picking the Blackhawks by 2 goals.  Let us see what we will see.

2013 NHL Playoffs: 2nd Rd: Game 6



The Blackhawks are but one game away from a remarkable comeback in this Western Conference Semi-final series.  After falling behind the Red Wings 3-1; they have come off the ice to win 2 elimination games to force a winner-take-all Game 7.  That Game 7 will be played at the "Madhouse on Madison" tomorrow night.  Yes, the Red Wings have won already in Chicago in this series, but with the season on the line, you can mark my words, the Blackhawks will win.

Chicago not only defeated the Red Wings last night, they also took the Red Wing crowd right out of the game.  A Penalty Shot goal by Michael Frolik did that in the third, when the Blackhawks scored 3 times in the last period to capture the lead and never give it up.

SCORING:

CB: PPG Marian Hossa                         A: Jonathan Toews & Duncan Keith

DRW: G Patrick Eaves                         A: Drew Miller & Brendan Smith

DRW: G Joakim Andersson                 A: Jakub Kindl

CB: G Michal Handzus                        A: Niklas Hjalmarsson

CG: G Bryan Bickell                           A: Jonathan Toews & Marian Hossa

CB: PSG Michael Frolik

DRW: G Damien Brunner                 A: Pavel Datsyuk & Daniel Cleary



Corey Crawford made 35 saves in the game to lead the Blackhawks to the victory

2013 NHL Playoffs: 2nd Rd: Game 5



The Blackhawks played their best game so far in this series and defeated the Red Wings by a 4-1 score.  The "Madhouse on Madison" was jumping, and so was Andrew Shaw, who tallied 2 goals in the victory.

This victory forces a Game 6 in Detroit on Memorial Day Monday.  Let us see if Chicago can win and keep the season alive until Wednesday's Game 7.  For if they do, the series will be won by the Blackhawks.

SCORING:


CB: G Bryan Bickell                         A: Patrick Kane & Michal Handzus

DRW: G Daniel Cleary                     A: Henrik Zetterberg

CB: PPG Andrew Shaw                   A: Duncan Keith & Brent Seabrook

CB: PPG Jonathan Toews                A: Marian Hossa & Duncan Keith

CB: G Andrew Shaw                       A: Viktor Stalberg & Michal Rozsival
