Chicago Blackhawks (46-21-15, 107 pts) INDIAN Head

St. Louis Blues (52-23-7, 111 pts) BLUE Notes

NHL Western Conference

Best of Seven Series

The Chicago Blackhawks will enter the 2013-14 "Fight for Lord Stanley" on a Losing Streak but that was the Regular Season. Now we enter the Post Season and there is no middle ground as your either one your game or not. That Period by Period "Stuff" will get you back a home getting ready for the 2014-14 season.

The St. Louis Blues enter with 111 points and they had the 7th best Offense (2.92 GF) in the Ice Games for 2013-14. The 107 point Indian Head was #2 in Offense (3.18 GF) and the Hawks were without Stars Jonathan Toews dba "Captain Serious" and Patrick Kane dba "Kaner 88". That should be a huge boost to that Offense that sputtered and most Teams would without their two best players.

Corey Crawford the Hawks Net Minder will lead a Hawks Defense that is #12 in Goals Against at 2.58 pee. Jaraoslav Halak or Bill Elliott or both will lead a Blue Notes Defense that was #3 in Goals Against at 2.29 per and only the Spokes and Monarchs were better in 2013-14.

The Series will come down to all the little things as the Stars have to play "Big" and that is a given when "Lord Stanley" is trying to find a home.
