Good morning Chicago Blackhawks fans! It’s another playoff game day and this one is huge for this series. Sure, it’s the opening round series so how Big could it be? Well, it’s a series clincher and the difference between clinching a series and forced to play Game #7 on the road in a building that the Chicago Blackhawks have struggled in the third period the last 2 games.
The Chicago Blackhawks are 12-4 in close out game in the Jonathan Toews/Patrick Kane era and they have been fantastic in Games 4-7 which makes Thursday night’s game hopefully just a footnote and not a new trend.
