Tuesday night the Blackhawks were in a must win situation, and rose to the occasion and won in a big way. They were missing Brent Seabrook, who got elbowed in the head the game before, and that just made this team want it even more. They scored 7 for Seabrook and headed back to Vancouver to win there.
Win in Vancouver is exactly what they did. Corey Crawford was amazing from the first shot on goal. In the back of my mind, I was thinking he could get a shutout. More and more shots got piled on him, and he was like a brick wall in front of the goal. He ended with the shutout, but that wasn't even the best part of the game.
The best part of this game was the goal scoring from Hossa and Keith. Keith was amazing. He almost had a hat trick and two assists. One of his goals was actually tipped by Kane, therefore giving Kane the goal. Keith was definitely playing for Seabrook in this game and was a huge reason why we won. He played well offensively and defensively. There were people hating on him, saying he isn't as good as he was last year, and so he had an outstanding game on Tuesday and and even better one Thursday. Mariann Hossa was also playing very well, he simply split all the defenders and scored the first goal of the game. That gave him the confidence to be able to score on his breakaway later in the game. The Blackhawks simply dominated the Canucks and played like a the team that fans have been wanting to see all year. This Blackhawks team will be feeding off the United Center crowd tomorrow and I have no doubt they win. Game 7 is going to test who really wants it more, and I think the Blackhawks do.
I originally was going to put the Mariann Hossa song or Duncan Keith song with this post, but then I saw this and got crazy chills.
