Happy game day, Chicago Blackhawks fans!
Barely 24 hours after the last huge win, the Hawks have a chance to close it out tonight by winning Game 5 in Nashville to take the first-round series against the Predators, 4 games to 1.
Entirely possible for the Hawks, who have seemed to “flip the switch” after their Game 2 implosion. But as long as we are using hockey cliches, just remember that it’s the NHL, anything is possible, and you can’t count out desperate teams facing the brink of elimination.
Especially if the Preds get their star players back, it’s possible that the Hawks would force a return to Chicago for Game 6.
