After a scoreless first frame that saw the Hawks back on their heels with Tampa owning the Puck Possession battle the Hawks get just two SOG in frame one with the Bolts netting nine. That pace picked up for Chicago in the 2nd as who else Captain Serious #19 in Jonathan Toews "Lit the lamp" for a Hawks 1-0 lead.
Tampa came right back some five minutes later as they get a beautiful pass from Valterri Fippula to Alex Killorn to tie the game up at 1-1 and that was the score after two. Shots on Goal was Hawks 12-8 that frame.
Then in the 3rd it was Brad Richards sealing off Tampa Defenseman Jason Garrison as Brandon Saad the "Man-Child" from the 'Burgh muscled his way into the crease for a five hole shot and that was the game-winner.
The last two minutes of the 3rd was all Tampa as Steven Stamkos had a point-blank shot that went of Brent Seabrook's Stick and if it didn't we would have went to extras...that close. Corey Crawford was all that in net as "Craw-Dad" stopped 24 of 25 SOG with Vasilevskiy halting 17 of 19 SOG.
Now we head to Game #5 on Saturday Night in Tampa as the "Bolts" looked the fresher and faster team by far. "Bolts" lead man John Cooper eluded to the fact that Ben Bishop will be back in this series as speculation is he will be in the blue-paint for game #5 in Saturday June 13.
Hawks win...Hawks win...Hawks win!
