Earlier this week, former Flyers defenseman Kimmo Timonen said he was impressed at how his Chicago teammates always play with a sense of calmness.
That best explains Chicago’s late comeback in a 2-1 win over host Tampa Bay on Wednesday night, giving the Blackhawks a 1-0 lead in the Stanley Cup Finals.
Trailing 1-0 in the final period, there was no panic in the Blackhawks. They dominated the third period _ Tampa went into a defensive shell and managed just five shots in the last 20 minutes _ and won it on goals by Teuvo Teravainen and Antoine Vermette.
