Blackhawks Force Game 7 With 5-2 Win Over Ducks: The Chicago Blackhawks, led by Duncan Keith's three assists and a goal-saving play, defeated the Anaheim Ducks 5-2 to tie their Western Conference Finals series at 3. ''He's kind of a freak as far as his metabolism and conditioning level,'' coach Joel Quenneville said of Keith. Game 7 will be Saturday. This is only the second time since the 1967 NHL expansion that both conference finals require a deciding game 7.
This is an amazing series, the best hockey I've seen in years. My partner is from Chicago so I am sucking it up as a Vancouver fan and rooting for the Hawks.
It's not uncommon to see four or five Hall of Fame locks on the ice at one time, the top end of talent on these teams is ridiculous. It's hard to imagine either the Bolts or the Rangers hanging with whoever wins in the west.

Keith was zoned in and made at least a dozen jaw dropping plays. When he is on he appears to be thinking the game a second or 2 faster than his opponents.
