Q. Is it a case of the Canucks choking or is it a case of the Blackhawks having gotten their heads out of their asses and are now playing at the level they are meant to play at? I mean, Chicago has a core of great playmakers and snipers, as well as several guys that can take and give a hit.
Personally I think it's a bit of both. I don't think the Canucks were quite ready for the real Blackhawks to show up in game 4, and still weren't adjusted enough for them in game 5. (maybe they didn't think the change in the Blackhawks's game would last beyond the one game?)
Either way, this is now a series. If Chicago wins game 6 back in their home arena Sunday night then game 7 could very well be the "actual" Stanley cup game of these playoffs.
