So which Blackhawks team will we see tonight? Will we see the disciplined team that dominated Games 1 and 5? Or will we see the team that gets easily frustrated and lost Games 2, 3 and 4? The Hawks have more talent than Detroit but have only showed it twice in this series so far. Tonight we will need to see the focused and physical team we saw on Saturday if we all want another game at the United Center. It will be interesting to see if the Hawks power play unit can carry of the momentum of scoring two goals in Game 5 into tonight's game. It would be nice considering the Hawks are 4-0 when scoring a power play goal this post season. For the most part, the Hawks have done a pretty good job in containing the Wings veteran core. They have relied on goals from their 3rd line and defensemen in earlier games. The Blackhawks will need to bottle up the likes of Pavel Datsyuk, Johan Franzen and Henrik Zetterberg once again. I am hoping the Hawks come out hitting and get an early goal to set the tone. A win tonight will get us on final showdown on our home ice. Let's bring it home boys!
