Blackhawks Looking to Return Home With Commanding Lead
Heading into tonight’s pivotal game 4, Calgary is hoping to buck the odds against them.
The Flames have never won a playoff series trailing 0-2 AND teams holding a two-game lead in NHL playoff series have won a whopping 85+ percent of them in league history.
While the Flames cut their deficit in half with a solid win at home Monday night, defeating Chicago 4-2 on the strength of a pair of David Moss goals, they know if they are to take this Western Conference quarterfinals series, being able to hang onto leads will be key.
The Flames squandered a two-goal lead in Game 2 after Chicago came from behind to win Game 1 in overtime.
With the youngest team in the NHL, Blackhawk fans are hoping youth will be served because it has been a long time since they’ve had the opportunity to celebrate anything connected to playoff success. The last time Chicago won a playoff series was a 4-0 sweep of Calgary in the 1996 conference quarterfinals.
The young ‘Hawks are here to stay and they WILL advance.
Not happenin’. Former Blackhawk coach Keenan has his Flamers roarin’ back.
The Blackhawks are goin’ down in Flames!
