At the beginning of the 2006 Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Carolina Hurricanes faced an 0-2 first round deficit to the 7th-seeded Montreal Canadiens. Martin Gerber was dreadful in the first two games, as the ‘Canes lost 6-1 and 6-5, respectively.
As the two teams consider what lies ahead in tonight’s epic Game 6, here are 5 things to keep an eye on as you watch the game.
In my last entry, I recommended to the Blackhawks that they avoid the penalty box to make things easier on themselves. They didn’t heed my advice.
What better way to debunk an rumor than to get the info from the horses mouth and that is exactly what Rich Chere of the Star-Ledger did this morning.
Sometimes these Blackhawks just need a good ol’ kick in the pants to take their game to the next level. That was the case in rounds one and two, and it has happened once again.
At the start of the Series, the Flyers (7th seed in the East entering the playoffs) weren’t supposed to be able to compete with the #2 in the West Blackhawks, according to some, and claims of “Chicago in 5″ ran rampant.

But that’s not the case; in fact, it’s the complete opposite as the series shifts to Philadelphia….
Any adjective in the book could have described Game 1: weird, wacky, crazy, a circus… you name it! It could have been compared to an All-Star Game with a Stanley Cup Final atmosphere; at least in the first two periods it was.
