Good morning Chicago Blackhawks fans! It’s all tied up in the Western Conference Finals after the Anaheim Ducks blew a 2-0 lead in the third period, but found a way to score in overtime to send it back to Anaheim with the series all tied up at 2. 

When i was watching Game #4, I thought it was going to be a carbon copy (old people term sorry Millenials) of Game #3 of the Blackhawks series when the Hawks jumped out to a 2-0 lead and then a series of misfortunate bounces led to the game being tied at the end of regulation with the Predators finding a way to win in overtime.

This time fate had other thoughts and the Ducks scored in overtime, and now the big bad Ducks have tied up the series heading back home for “Pivotal Game #5.”

Everyone had the Predators winning this series in 5 or 6 so I’m glad it’s at least tied at 2 so there is at least some drama in the series.  Most experts thought it both Nashville and Pittsburgh were going to breeze into the Stanley Cup Final, but hockey is a hard game with a sense of humor sometimes, and it’s nice to see some real good hockey extended.

I first started doing links as a regular feature on Blackhawk Up during the 2013 Stanley Cup playoffs. I would get up early and link all the stories to all the series.  So I will begin with that part of history in mind today, so here are this morning links!
