Wake me when it’s over. Seriously, wake me around 12:47 the following morning after “Money Mayweather” boxes circles – literally – around yet another opponent too slow, too flat-footed and too dumb to dethrone boxing’s pound-for-pound king.

The Blackhawks rallied in the 3rd period against the Detroit Red Wings to extend their season for at least one more game. Down by a goal to start the 3rd Chicago came out of the dressing room flying. Scoring 3, Handzus, Bickell and Frolik (on a penalty shot), in the first 10 minutes of the 3rd to force a game 7 back home in Chicago. Frolik became the first player in NHL playoff history to score 2 goals on penalty shots, his first coming against Vancouver two years ago.
