Chicago Blackhawks Morning Links- On To St. Louis

Good morning Chicago Blackhawks fans! The season is winding down and we only have 2 games left in the season and one of those two games is tonight on the road in St. Louis against the hated Blues.  We just saw the Blues the other night and it was the Blues stealing one on United Center Ice, so it would only be polite for the Chicago Blackhawks to return the favor tonight and give themselves a shot at home ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs.

The Western Conference is still up in the air for the final two spots with the Winnipeg Jets, Calgary Flames and the defending Stanley Cup champion LA Kings all fighting for two spots.  What makes it even better is the matchups tonight which includes the Kings traveling to Calgary for what really is a playoff game already. It will make for an exciting Thursday and Saturday night around the NHL! Who will advance and who will stay home and watch the playoffs like all of us next week?  Here are some morning links to kick off your Gameday.
