Chicago Blackhawks Morning Links- Lazy Saturday

Good morning Chicago Blackhawks fans! There is nothing meaningful going on today in any playoff series on a Saturday which is weird.  The draft though is right around the corner. 

With both the Stanley Cup Final and NBA Championships going on right now, it’s strange that the schedule makers gave an entire Saturday off to both of these spectacles.

We may be down to one final game in the NHL season with 2 being the max.  It has been really a boring series on the ice with every game of the series being decided by 2 or more goals.

Having Nashville in the series has made it entertaining as well as the Sidney Crosby/P.K. Subban rivalry, but the actual games have not been that compelling.

It’s very eye opening how much the visiting goalies have struggled away from home.  On home ice both Matthew Murray and Pekka Rinne have been great, but once they travel they have really had a hard time keeping pucks out of the back of their own nets.
