The Chicago Blackhawks with Lord Stanley are on side give the Ducks a reality Check in the Madhouse on Madison 4-2. Hawks wasted no time ending the Ducks Point Streak and the Hawks move closer to the NHL Best record of 77 points in the Ducks.

Marian Hossa and Kris Versteeg both hit the Nets in Period 1 as the Hawks built a two gaol lead early. That lead held up through two frames then Brian Bickell scored midway through the 3rd frame and the Hawks look to blowout the Ducks. With an Ice Games best 77 points and a eight game win streak the Ducks made it a game quickly as they strike within 45 seconds two goals to make it 3-2 Hawks. Ducks Captain Ryan Getzlaf scored on of the goals as the hawks then went into protect the score mode and get an empty netter from Marian Hossa his 2nd of the night to beat the Ducks 4-2.

Both Net Minders were fabulous as the Ducks Jonas Hiller stopped 31 of 34 and takes the loss moving to 23-5-4. Team Indian Head's Corey Crawford takes the much-needed "W" and moves to 18-7-7 as he saves 19 of 21 shots as the Hawks "D" for the most part was outstanding.    

The Hawks now with the Spokes coming in on Sunday and the Wings and Wild up next week can answer a lot of question about themselves as they get close to the Sochi 2014 Winter Game Break and the 2nd half of the 2013-14 season. The Hawks now move to 31-8-11 and 73 points while the Ducks fall to 36-9-5 and 77 points.

This is my pick for the Western Conference Finals 2014...as the Blue Notes, Avs, Fins, and Monarchs might have something to say inn the end!
