Here’s a recap of how the Chicago Blackhawks earned the right to lift the Stanley Cup

Recaps of Game 1 and 2.

Game 3

The Flyers weren’t just going to roll over and give up. They came this far and wanted to make the most of it. The Finals shifted back to Philadelphia after two games in Chicago. The score was tied at 3-3 after three periods but Claude Giroux scored 5:59 into the extra period to give the Flyers the win.

There was no way the Blackhawks were gonna steal Game 3 from the Flyers. Philadelphia’s crowd was absolutely bonkers. From the time the puck dropped to Giroux’s winning score, the crowd was deafening.

Game 4

The Flyers again displayed resiliency and persistence, as they showed all throughout the playoffs, to tie the series at two apiece. Mike Richards, Matt Carle and Claude Giroux all scored a goal each in the first period that gave the Flyers an early lead. Philadelphia was up 4-1 early in the third before the Blackhawks scored two goals to get within one, but it was too little to late.

Jeff Carter scored the Flyers fifth goal on an empty netter to push the score to 5-3. Game 4 was fast paced, contrary to early predictions that the Stanley Cup Finals would be a battle of defense and physicality.

Game 5

With the series shifting back to Chicago, the Blackhawks were rejuvenated. Chicago dictated the pace early on and scored three goals in the first period to put the Flyers in a 3-0 hole. Entering the third period, the Blackhawks were up 5-2 before closing out the game with two additional goals to move one game within the Stanley Cup championship. The Flyers also managed to score two additional goals in the third. The final score was 7-4.

Game 6: Clincher

Patrick Kane barely slipped the puck past Michael Leighton in extra period that sealed the deal for the Blackhawks as Stanley Cup champions. Leighton failed to prevent Chicago from scoring two clutch goals in the waning minutes.

Philadelphia didn’t have enough comebacks left in them. They should still hold their heads up high after their courageous and historic run in the 2010 playoffs.

As for Chicago, they won their first Stanley Cup championship after 49 years. Congratulations to the Blackhawks!

The series shifts to Philadelphia for Games 3 and 4. Hopefully, the underdog Flyers can regroup and make the necessary adjustments before they fall too far behind. Philadelphia is used to playing from behind, but I doubt that they’ll be able to climb out of a 3-0 hole against a talented Chicago squad.

Simon Gagne scored on a power play for the Flyers in the middle of the third period.

Niemi gave everything he had just to keep the Flyers off the scoreboard. He survived the flurries of Philadelphia late in the third period. Chicago’s defense was more apparent in this game. The Flyers didn’t score with a little over a minute left in the game. Niemi made sure of that. The Fin brought the raucous Chicago crowd to their feet with an amazing display of saves. It was amazing how Niemi saw the multiple shots directed at him by the Flyers. Truly deserving of a standing ovation.

Marian Hossa and Ben Eager both scored in the second period to give the Blackhawks a two to nothing lead. After that, the Hawks made sure that there would be no miraculous comebacks. On this night, the lead belonged to them.

Game 1 featured both teams combining for 11 total goals with the Hawks gaining the upper hand, 6-5. Tomas Kopecky scored the game winning goal on a pass from Kris Versteeg.

The Flyers held one goal leads all game long but failed to put the Hawks away. Philadelphia was not as physical as their past series’ having no penalties called against them in Game 1. They may need to get more physical to protect leads.

Troy Brouwer scored two goals and an assist for Chicago.

We’ve seen this before. Flyers facing adversity and then turning it up once they’re backed up against the walls. Will the Cinderella story Philadelphia Flyers continue their streak and close the book with a fairy tale ending? Let’s look at their strengths below.

Strengths

Nothing to lose. The Flyers are the seventh seeded team in the East, what makes you think that they’ll bow down to anyone especially after their historic comeback against the Boston Bruins? Their confidence is sky high and probably even more. It may look like a one-sided match-up on paper but didn’t we say the same thing about the Flyers-Devils match-up? Philadelphia brings a lot of intangibles.

Physicality and agressiveness. The Flyers physical play has got them this far. And even if the Blackhawks can match them physically, Philadelphia’s grit and intensity will help balance Chicago’s advantage in talent.

Do the Flyers have enough to pull off a miracle? They do have the right mindset and personal belief. It’s hard to speculate since everything that was suppose to happen in the playoffs didn’t happen.

Game 2 will be on Monday night.

Eastern Conference Finals

Philadelphia Flyers vs. Montreal Canadiens, Flyers up 1-0

The Flyers are still riding high after completing the biggest comeback in sports history. They continued their dominance by trashing the Canadiens in Game 1, 6-0. Michael Leighton notched his first playoff shutout and six different players scored for Philadelphia.

The Flyers’ aggressiveness baffled goalie Jaroslav Halak. Halak played a key role in beating the Capitals and Penguins. Before being dominated by the Flyers, Halak had the highest save percentage in the playoffs with .933.

Philadelphia is a defensive-minded team and it showed. The Canadiens had 28 shots on goal, three more than the Flyers, but failed to get on board. Don’t count out the Canadiens though, their speed and physicality will make this a long series.

Western Conference Finals

Chicago Blackhawks vs. San Jose Sharks, Blackhawks up 1-0

The Sharks lost a close one to the Blackhawks in Game 1. San Jose allowed the game-winning goal with a little under seven minutes left. Antti Niemi saved 44 goals, Dustin Byfuglien and Patrick Sharp scored one goal each.

Chicago has lost only once on the road in the playoffs. Despite that, this will be a long series because the Sharks won’t keel over and just give up the West. San Jose can change the tide and finish games because of their sense of urgency. This is a veteran team that knows how to make the necessary adjustments. Game 1 should be an afterthought for Evgeni Nabokov. He is the second best goalie in the playoffs and it will show in this series.

Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Montreal Canadiens

The defending champs proved that there’s absolutely no defense that can keep their offense from cranking up the goals. The Penguins’ offense will be tested against the scrappy and physical play of the Canadiens. Montreal is coming off a huge Game 7 that eliminated the Capitals. If the Canadiens can give Ovechkin problems, it’s possible that Sidney Crosby may have a hard time against Montreal.

Penguins in 6

Boston Bruins vs. Philadelphia Flyers

The Bruins are slow starters but manage to wear down their opponents as the game goes on. The Flyers held a 3-1 lead before finishing off the Devils. The Bruins slow starts may be taken advantage off by a Flyer team that looks like it has developed a killer instinct.

San Jose Sharks vs. Detroit Red Wings

The Red Wings showed that they still have some left in the tank with their hard earned series win over the Coyotes. The Sharks have finally advanced to the second round after losing in the first round in their four previous playoff appearances. Detroit is a veteran team and their craftiness will pose a challenge for the Sharks. Goalie Craig Anderson is the x-factor — he has the most saves in the postseason so far.

Sharks in 5

Chicago Blackhawks vs. Vancouver Canucks

This is a great match-up between two defensive minded teams that can also score to win — not to mention a lot of bad blood brewing between the two teams. It will be a physical series — the Blackhawks never give up as shown in last year’s match up when the Canucks had an opportunity to go 3-1 but lost in overtime.

Series will go seven games with the Blackhawks prevailing.

The road to the Stanley Cup continues. Stay tuned puckheads, the second round promises to be as exciting as the first.
