Detroit Red Wings vs Chicago Blackhawks: Detroit wins 6-1 (Detroit leads series 3-1)
Chicago never had a chance since the drop of the puck. Detroit was playing without their two top stars in Niklas Lidstrom and Pavel Datsyuk, yet they scored 6 goals, 3 goals sandwhiching Chicago's lone marker. Chicago played a horrible game in front of back-up Cristobal Huet, who was starting in place of the injured Khabibulin, the lone bright spot in this series for the Blackhawks. The Blackhawks took 9 penalties and only received 4 power plays, and the Red wings capitalized, scoring on 3 extra man advantages. Strangely enough, Detroit took the first two penalties of the game, but Marian Hossa scored shorthanded on their first penalty kill. Chicago pretty much imploded in the second period, and there was really they could potentially "build on" heading into game 5, where they will most likely be eliminated.
Talk about a lack of drama in these conference finals. Looks like rematch of Detroit and Pittsburgh in the finals. Like I said in an earlier post, if it comes down to a rematch, the Penguins look a lot stronger and ready to take a championship than they did last year. Which, of course, would make Marian Hossa look like an idiot.
