Chicago Blackhawks Morning Links- The Iron Unkind
By Keith Schultz
Good Morning Chicago Blackhawks Fans!
The Chicago Blackhawks haven’t played any hockey for over a month which still doesn’t seem normal and to be quite honest I haven’t watched much playoff hockey since the Chicago Blackhawks elimination, but I did watch all 3 minutes of overtime last night of the Stanley Cup Final.
The San Jose Sharks had their chances on Wednesday night in Game #2, but if there ever was a team to complain about hitting posts it has to be the Sharks who if you watch any highlight package it was nothing but posts for the Sharks starting with Tomas Hertl. hitting two.
The iron was kind for the Sharks when the puck rattled off of it for the game tying goal with 4 minutes left in the 3rd period.
The overtime stats are always strange with Martin Jones going winless in a playoff year in overtime when his team makes the Stanley Cup Final, but there it was a faceoff play drew up by Sidney Crosby that ends up behind Jones for the win and a 2-0 series lead for the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Sharks were the best on the road this season, but they will have to keep up their playoff winning ways on home ice if this series is to be extended.
The one post-game story that is pretty funny is that Logan Couture and the Sharks believe that Crosby cheats on faceoffs which he did win as cleanly as possible on the winning goal. It’s in the Sharks water to make it a series now.
