Never once did I doubt the Indian Head as they create an Avalanche to say the least in the 3rd frame scoring four goals to eliminate the Notes 4-2 in the Series. The Blues missed plenty of opportunities in the 1st and 2nd period combining to out shoot the Hawks 28-11 through 40 minutes. That had to be on the Blues Minds heading into the 3rd as they had to know the Indian Head was going to breakout sooner or later.

"Bicks" started off the Hawks scoring in the 1st lighting the lamp almost five minutes into the game. US National Team Hero T.J.  Oshie tied the score with a tip-in late in the 1st as we went scoreless in the 2nd with the Blues going 0/6 on Power Plays through two frames.  The Hawks then caught fire in the 3rd  as Captain Serious strikes not even a minute into the 3rd frame to make it 2-1 Hawks. A minute and a half later Patrick Kane goes on a breakaway for a 3-1 Hawks lea as he gets his first points of the series. At the 7:30 mark Andrew Shaw goes re-direct off of a taser by D.K. to make it 4-1 Hawks. Then it was D.K. again on a wrister with less than three minutes to go to cap the scoring and  Hawks Win 5-1 and Series win 4-2.

The M.V.P. was Hawks Net minder Corey Crawford dba "Craw-Dad" as he stopped 35 of 36 shots and 28 of them on six power plays and in the first two periods. The Notes Miller stopped 22 of 27 shots but was just 4 for 16 in the 3rd when the onslaught came from the Indian Head. Now the Hawks await the winner of the Colorado Avalanche and Minnesota Wild Series which is 3-2 Avs.

Hawks Nation with the Grant Park Celebration still intact it looks like two more weeks of Hockey...
