 Not Over Yet! 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. Winner will take on the winner of the San Jose, Los Angeles series, who play their game 7 tonight. The home team has won all 6 games in this series, but the defending champion LA Kings have lost four straight game 7's. On the Eastern Conference side, still no schedule for the match up between the Boston Bruins and Pittsburgh Penguins. A little rest might do everyone good, since days off were few and far between in this shortened season but will it also kill the momentum the Bruins have after beating the NY Rangers in five? Sidney "Glass Jaw" Crosby has been cleared to wear a "big boy" helmet instead of the plastic face guard contraption he had been wearing since breaking his jaw taking a puck to the face in March. -Ferro |
