As a Blackhawks Head you would like that whole 3rd frame to be played over especially with the chances we gave an offensive powerhouse like Tampa back to back penalties and that was too much to overcome.

Give Tampa credit as they were up 1-0 after one only to find themselves scuffling in the 2nd as the Hawks struck twice in less than two minutes apart on and Andrew Shaw tip-in and a Teuvo Teravainen wrister on the Hawks power play making it 2-1 Hawks.

The Lightning a minute and a half late gets a Nikita Kucherov goal tying the game only to have Tyler Johnson sneak one past Hawks blue paint tenant Corey "Craw-Dad" Crawford from the side of the net which should have never got behind him or even through him making it 3-2 Bolts.

"Brooksie" #7 for the Indian Head just three and a half minutes into the 3rd ties the game on a slapper as Marian Hossa and Ben Bishop talk about doing "Good Eats" in Chicago for game 3 and 4. Then it was the Patrick Sharp Show powered by "Where is my Thinking Cap" with a slash and then right out of the box another penalty "high-stick" and the Bolts Jason Garrison didn't miss as his shot hits Hawks Andrew DesJardins stick slowing it down and Craw-Dad lost sight of it for a Tampa 4-3 lead.

Hawks out shot the Bolts 29-24 as both Teams were 1/3 on the power play. Craw-Dad stopped 20-24 SOG and Ben Bishop stops 21 of 24 SOG only to have an equipment problem and Russian net minder Andrei Vasilevskiy looked and played the part stopping all five shots he saw.

Well played game and the Indian Head heads back with mission accomplished get a victory in Tampa. Game 3 on Monday June 8 at 8pm ET at the Madhouse on Madison...
