The Boston Bruins have evened the series at one game apiece against the Chicago Blackhawks, and now have a home game in Boston. I expect a big effort by Chicago tonight, and history gives them a slight edge in game three, as the NHL Finals have seen 23 games played with the series tied at one, and the team that lost game two, is 13-12 in game three. The last nine playoff games by the Blackhawks have seen seven of the nine decided by one goal, and each of the last three have been decided in overtime, including both games in this series. Chicago has allowed more than three goals just one time in 19 playoff games, and none in their last 12, while at the same time their offense has been shutout just one time in the 19 games. That is the only time they have been shutout the entire season. It stands to reason this game is going to the wire again, and I'm playing Chicago on the puck line.
