JETS 3 BLACKHAWKS 1...WINNIPEG ignores the No-Fly Zone posted at the MADHOUSE and beat the INDIAN HEAD..."FROZEN TALK" 1901 West Madison "HAWKS looking to 6-Game Motel Swing gets surprised by JETS" #OneGoal #BlackHawkNation #FearTheINDIANHead

The Chicago Blackhawks needed to create the same type of atmosphere that is going on outside the Madhouse in the Chicago-Area and that would be a Winter-Storm Watch with all the fixins. After scoring the first goal of he night off of a Brandon Bollig nifty wrap-around the Hawks appeared to be headed for the Winner's Circle. Then the Winnipeg turned on the Jets in the 3rd and final frame.

With the lead 1-0 Hawks going into the 3rd period the Jets hit them with a snap shot, wrister, and another wrister via the empty net variety. The Hawks lose 3-1 headed into the West Coast Gauntlet 6-Game Motel Swing that includes the NHL Leader in Points the Ducks, Flames, Canucks, Kings, Yotes, and Sharks. All those games will be before the Sochi 2014 Winter Games.

The Hawks put 34 shots on net as Jets Net Minder and Chicago Native Al Montoya stopped 33 of them. The Hawks Crawford stopped 18 of 20 as he was hit within five minutes apiece for the 1st and 2nd goal in the 3rd frame. More important business is the Hawks head West leading the Blue Notes of St. Louis by just 1 point at 76-75. The San Jose Sharks who the Hawks will see on the Trip is at 74 points as all three are chasing the red-hot Mighty Ducks the NHL Leader at 83 points.

How the West is won as the Hawks embark on their most important trip of the 2013-14 season by far...and good luck Men!
