"FROZEN TALK" 1901 West Madison..."HAWKS hit the ICE near the Gateway to the WEST" Game #3...yes BUCS and CARDS are not the only game in Town as the BLACKHAWKS have "DATE NIGHT" with the rival BLUES...#CHIvsSTL #FrozenTalkHAWKS #FearTheINDIANHead #OneGoal

The Chicago Blackhawks waltz into the Scottrade Center 1-0-1 as they beat the Caps and Ovechkin in Game 1 on "Raise the Banner:" Night. They lose points in a shootout to the Tampa Bay Lghtning and Stars Martin St. Louis and Steven Stamkos as the march into Rival Territory to face the Blues. The Blues come in 2-0-0 and they have been lighting up the Siren and getting "Fight for Lord Stanley" Net Minding.

The Hawks had Game 2 in hand then they just had some fundamental lapses and that happens early in the season. Hawks Net Minder Corey Crawford has been Top-Dawg in spots but its his Defense that has let him down in the first two of 2013. Both Patrick Kane and Brandon Saad have looked in mid-season form as Saad looks to have a breakout year as the Hawks 3rd leading scorer as talented as the Pittsburgh-Area native is.

The Blues come into Hump Day Action with at least ten players with at least two to three points as they have outscored opponents in 2k13 some 5.50 for to a poultry 1 goal against. Captain David Backes and T.J. Oshie lead the Blues an the Hawks need to pay special attention to those two as they are impact Players on Ice. That has a lot to do with Blue Net Minder Jaroslav Halak. Halak has a Save Percentage of .959 and he looks to keep the lid on the Nylon versus arguably the fastest team in Ice Games end to end in the Blackhawks tonight.

Game Time 8pm ET from Scottrade Center in St. Louis, MO.
