Well, We’re Waiting . . .
All this anticipation adds to the build up of Game 6. The Cup is in waiting and no one know just what to expect going into this game.
Will Chicago come out and play a defensive shutdown road game? Will they play another intense 1st period in attack mode, knowing the cup is within their grasp. Knowing all it takes is 60 minutes of their best hockey, leaving it all on the ice. Blackhawks hockey. Hockey we hadn’t seen till Game 5. After a dominant performance Sunday, have the Hawks found what it takes to beat Philly? Will this be another home win, making this a total home series? Why were the first 3 rounds favorable to the road team, and in the finals, road teams have competed but can’t buy a win.
After Game 4, there was piles of criticism towards Coach Q and the Hawks “scrambling” to change up lines, to match up Philly. The Hawks were called “desperate”. So line juggling occurred and dominance ensued. How will the Flyers respond? What lines will Philly throw at Chicago in response to Game 5? Does that make Philly desperate? Will Carcillo see the ice, knowing he could hurt either team.
Who will the next, overplayed “History Will Be Made” feature? Someone has got to be the hero. The goalies were a storyline going into this series, and neither has played well or consistently. Will a goalie step up and steal a game? Who is it going to be?
Who is it going to be? There has been talk about the Conn Smythe hardware if this ends tonight, there are no stand out at this time. Before this series started, Toews may have had in the bag, but he has had a quiet final. Duncan Keith? Chris Pronger? Byfuglien? The Conn Smythe is awarded to the player judged most valuable to his team during the National Hockey League’s Stanley Cup playoffs. So we are not judging it on the finals.
How long into the telecast will we have to wait until we hear about “Chrissy Pronger”. Who will pick up the game puck? Will Leighton get chased again? Will Pronger ever get called for a slash or cross-check in this series? Will I stop with the questions all ready?
All our questions will be answered in 3 hours or less.
