What's better than one Game 7 in the Conference Finals? A Game 7 in both the East and the West.The Chicago Blackhawks were not going away without getting their money's worth out of the Anaheim Ducks, but not only that, they will have an opportunity to eliminate the Ducks on Saturday night, after a 5-2 win on Wednesday night.
On the shoulders of Patrick Kane and Duncan Keith, each of them coming away with 3 points for the pool in Game 6, the Blackhawks were able to power through the threat of elimination.
A 3-goal outburst in the 2nd period, fueled by Keith's 3 assists, helped pave the way to the win. The Ducks made it into a tight one, coming as close as 3-2, early in the 3rd period, but a couple of goals late in the final frame capped off the game and we'll see these two teams go head-to-head on the weekend.
Corey Crawford made 30 saves for the win and was the only other player in this game to be considered notable with a couple of points.
Fontanna - 247 pointsJesse P. - 231
Thor - 229
There's your top three teams after Wednesday night and they are now starting to pull away a little bit in the standings. Thor now has a 7-point gap on Sean L. and a 10-point lead on Stacey M..
With only a couple of Game 7's left to go in the Conference Finals, the mainstay players between the two winners are all likely to be the same through the remaining teams or at least be close enough that there will be very little separation.
