The Chicago Blackhawks picked the right time to get on a streak albeit the wrong streak as in a three-game skid. The Detroit Red Wings woke up in the Anaheim Ducks Series and they fell to the Hawks in Game and since then the Old Wings are back and have been dominating. So many questions heading into Game 5 with so little answers for the Hawks and what do they do?

The Blackhawks had the right game plan for game 4 its just that they could not find the net in frame one. That led to Wings Lead Man Babcock adjusting to what the Hawks were trying to do stretching the Ice and they shut that down from frames two through three. The Hawks didn't counter with anything after the Wings adjusted and that was the game..

Key Factors in the Series that must change for the Blackhawks:

* Hawks Captain Jonathan Toews must get loose from Zetterberg and whoever else is trying to check him and make plays scoring or assisting.

* Follow the game four game plan and keep putting the Frozen One on net and sooner or later that has to break Wings Net Minder Howard....offensively stay busy.

* Hawks Lead Man "Q" made line changes for game four and they still didn't score but had more activity so will he keep the line ups from game four or scrabble them again?

* Hawks Net Minder Crawford was solid in game one but since he hasn't played bad its just that Howard of the Wings has played lights out. Craw needs to be better than just good from here on out starting tonight.

* Hawks Power Play needs to some "Get Right Juice" ASAP...they have to put it in the Net on all Power Plays with an advantage.

* Hawks Lines three and four have been outplayed since game one and that has to change tonight...

* Hawks have to get a Game and not worry about the daunting task of winning three in a row. Get this one and then we will worry about game six.

* Hawks need to play for that Locker Room and each other and the Madhouse on Madison will follow as its three solid periods of Ice Time not in Spurts...110%

Game time 8pm ET on NHL on NBC Game 6...at the Madhouse on Madison...Blackhawks Nation and Frozen Talk Hawks Heads...Stand Up!
