As you will certainly recall, going into Game 5 during the first round of the 2015 Stanley Cup playoffs, our beloved Chicago Blackhawks had the Nashville Predators on the ropes, primed for a knockout blow with a 3-1 lead in the series.
Unfortunately as you will also certainly recall, the Hawks failed to land that would-be KO punch. Yes the Hawks were playing on the Preds’ home ice and Scott Darling’s novice experience finally caught up with him, but still, it was a missed opportunity for the Blackhawks, and one that came darn near close to costing them dearly, as the Hawks all but squeezed out a series-winning victory at the Madhouse on Madison by a one-goal margin.
