Many hockey fans are excited about this year’s final; it is an
Original Six matchup for the first time in 34 years, and also is a match
up between two extremely exciting teams – meaning the series should be a
fantastic one even for the neutrals.
Boston have fought tooth and nail to get here tonight; their fans
will remember how they were three goals down in the third period of Game
7 in the first round. Likewise Chicago fought back from three games to
one down in the second round to sneak through.
Boston will likely be without forward Nathan Horton who reaggravated a reported chronic shoulder injury in the first overtime of game one which means that Tyler Seguin will have to step up if the Bruins hope to get the series to one game apiece.
In game one the two teams combined for 117 shots and 120 hits in a game that lived up to, and surpassed, expectations.
While it’s unlikely that both teams have the same type of game that Wednesday night provided, one has to assume that there will be even more motivation for each team to win this game than game one. Chicago wants a cushion; Boston doesn’t want to fall into a bigger whole.
It will be interesting to see just how much effect the triple-ot affair has on the teams even with two days off in between games. Will there be tired legs, or will there be too much adrenaline flowing to let fatigue set in. We’ll find out at 8pm Eastern.
Since those wobbles both teams have improved immensely and they are both playing some of the best hockey their fans have seen all season.
The Blackhawks perhaps have a bit more pressure on them to win tonight, to take advantage of their home advantage. If the Bruins can win tonight in Chicago then it would immediately put massive pressure on the Blackhawks for Game 2, as well as through Games 3 and 4 when they travel to Boston.
These are probably the two most balanced teams in the league through the season; both with extremely tight defensive units, and both with enough fire-power up front to trouble any other team.
There’s not much between the teams and most pundits are split on who will come out on top to take the title.
Boston Bruins vs Chicago Blackhawks is scheduled to start at 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday and can be watched online through live stream (details will be provided soon).

The Bruins have now won nine of their past 10 games, and the
Blackhawks have won seven of their last eight. But something will have
to give way tonight and it will be exciting to see which team comes out
on top.
