1. Strong Start
There will be some tired bodies - from both teams - on the ice tonight when the Blackhawks face the Ducks at the United Center. Anaheim had won six straight home playoff games prior to losing to Chicago in Tuesday night's epic battle. Home ice means a lot to both of these teams, as Chicago is still undefeated at home in the post season, and the 22,000 fans who pack the UC tonight will provide some much needed energy for the local heroes. The Ducks played very well in the OT loss, and some feel maybe should have won the game with the number of Grade A chances they had.
