The Chicago Blackhawks are moving on thanks to strong penalty killing and a couple of key bounces of the puck. Jonathan Toews scored a power-play goal to cap a wild first period that featured one goal off Patrick Kane’s toe near mid-ice, and the Blackhawks held on for a 5-3 victory over the Nashville Predators on Monday night. Chicago advanced to the Western Conference semifinals for the second straight year. “We played like we had to win this game, and the first period had more action than we’ve seen,” Chicago coach Joel Quenneville said. “The start of this game really was not just offense but unpredictability of the game,” he added. “I thought we settled down after that. We had a chance to win. You don’t want to play any extra games, you don’t want to play any extra shifts. … Now we’ve got Vancouver again.” http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/recap;_ylt=AtPEbWJfvLo8_00IfCs1F9l7vLYF?gid=2010042627
Hell yeah! I wasn't able to watch the last period last night due to some saddening news, so I am right now!
