Jonathan Toews and the Chicago Blackhawks have kept their cool while the Vancouver Canucks have lost theirs. Now they are just one win away from a return trip to the Western Conference finals. Toews scored three power-play goals and added two assists as the Blackhawks beat Vancouver 7-4 on Friday night and grabbed a 3-1 lead in the second-round series. The more the Canucks have taken bad penalties and displayed a lack of discipline, the more Chicago has made them pay with its lethal power play. “We stuck with our game plan,” said Toews, who took over the NHL playoff scoring lead with 18 points. “We know now nothing they do or whatever is going to take us off that plan or away from what we are doing as a team.” Patrick Sharp also scored on the power play and Tomas Kopecky added a goal shortly after another expired. Chicago, which went 4 for 8 with the man advantage, has won three straight after dropping the series opener at home. “The power play had a heck of a night,” said Sharp, who added three assists. http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/recap;_ylt=AnkLuVBW8AuwIPM5_h9RsgR7vLYF?gid=2010050722
Hawks won 7-4. The Canucks green men who sit next to the penalty boxes had no fun this game. Because everytime they saw their players in the boxes, the Hawks would score. Toews helped 5 of the 7 goals against the Canucks. He almost got his 4th on an empty netter but he lost the puck while he was going at the net.
