From the outset - certainly after that hectic first period - it seemed like the Chicago Blackhawks were much better than the Anaheim Ducks. But our home team pulled out a victory anyway, leading many to give the win to Frederik Andersen's heroics and call it a day.
Here's what makes game one really interesting: the Ducks were the better team in possession the second half of the game. Similar to how the Calgary Flames lucked into a goal in its first game against Anaheim, it was only a boneheaded turnover by Francois Beauchemin that actually yielded anything for the Hawks.
