The Chicago Blackhawks might have finally solved the puzzle called Brian Elliot the St. Blues blue-paint tenant for a 3-2 "W". The Hawks "W" won't come without some scrutiny as the Blues with the game all knotted up in the 3rd scored what looked to be the goal ahead goal.

The goal by Vladimir Tarasenko would have been #2 on the night instead the review showed the Blues skater was within maybe two inches from being onside as the Zebras waived the goal off. That gave the Hawks some momentum as Andrew Shaw scored on a nifty tip-in off a shot by Brent Seabrook which put the Hawks up 2-1. The Indian Head would later get an empty netter from Artemi Panarin as Duncan Keith (who tied the game at 1-1 at the end of the 2nd frame) shot the "Frozen One" out of the Hawks Zone off the Boards in what looked like Panarin might have tipped it.

The Blues get a goal from Kevin Shattenkirk with 2 seconds remaining to close the gap to 3-2 as the Hawks go ahead and get the hard-fought "W" 3-2 and ties the series 1-1 heading back to the Madhouse for a Sunday Matinee for Game #3.

Both D.K. dba Duncan Keith and Corey Crawford were off the charts as the Indian Head Sweaters would have been playing with some serious blaze down 0-2 in Game #3. So much for those 70 hits by the Blue Notes as the Hawks gain home ice...
