Game 2 NHL Western Conference Finals

Detroit Red Wings vs Chicago Blackhawks: Detroit wins 3-2 (Detroit leads series 2-0)

Another tightly contested game that had the Blackhawks coming from behind to tie it and put Red Wings fans at the edge of their seats, but the hometown pulled through in a game 2 overtime as they forced a turnover after taking an icing call, taking advantage of the over-aggressive Blackhawks, and executing a picture perfect 3-on-1 rush to a game winning goal. Osgood and Khabibulin both played spectacular, as the Bulin Wall was only knocked down by odd man rushes (3 on 1 in overtime and a breakaway in the first period), while Osgood's goals against were dirty goals through screens and deflections. The Blackhawks are utilizing their same style against the Canucks and it is making each game a coin-flip. Unfortunately, the coin came up tails twice in a row for Chicago.

Chicago has won 3 in a row playing their physical, goaltender interference-style hockey against the Canucks, who probably people would consider have a better goaltender in Luongo. The series could still go either way given how each game has been played, but the Blackhawks are in a deep hole mentally. If they don't sweep their two game homestand to tie the series, they are going to lose in game 5.
