When the Detroit Red Wings went up 2-1 in the 2nd frame my thought process was the Blackhawks will come out that Locker Room and make some plays to get back in.

The Star of the 3rd period was all Hawks as Center Michal Handzus scores not even a minute into frame three. The Captain and Hossa assisted Bickell on the 3rd goal (2n of the 3rd Period) to give the Hawks the lead 3-2 they would never relinquish. Right Winger Michael Frolik then scored on a backhand Penalty Shot to make it 4-2 as the Wings score late to make the final score 4-3. The Blackhawks have found their playing style, lines, and toughness to tie the series at 3-3 with the game seven on Wednesday May 29 at the Madhouse on Madison.

Hawks Net Minder Cory Crawford was sensational to say the least as he stopped some 35 of 38 shots as the Wings kept putting the Frozen One on Net. Wings Net Minder Howard stopped 24 of 28 but it was his horrendous third frame that spelled gloom and doom for the Hockey Town USA. It was definitely a tale of two teams as the Hawks controlled the first period, wings controlled the 2nd, and the Hawks controlled the third.

Stay tuned for Game 7 on Wednesday May 29 as it's Game 7...enough said!
