Battling Hawks Snatch Game One
A triple overtime winner from Adam Shaw gave the Chicago Blackhawks a terrific fighting 4-3 win over the Boston Bruins in game one of the Stanley Cup Final at the United Center last night! But this was no straight forward affair and required Joel Quenneville's men to go deep to produce a result from the bleakest of scenario's!
Milan Lucic got the Bruins off to a brilliant start with a goal mid way through the first period off an assist from Nathan Horton and the ever impressive David Krecji and Lucic then went one better and bagged a second only 51 seconds into the second period (thats a lot of seconds there!) with one again Krecji providing the chance, before Brandan Saad put Hawks back in contention two minutes later with his first play off goal.
Patrice Bergeron restored the Bruins to two goal lead with a powerplay goal 6 minutes into the third and it looked as if the Blackhawks' final might go the same way as the Penguins before them. But however there was to be a sting in the tail as Danny Bolland scored to give Chicago hope before defensement Johnny Oduya completed a remarkable 4 minute salvo to tie the game at 3-3!
In overtime the fans were forced to wait for the eventually outcome as two seperate periods when by scoreless but when finally Shaw hit home a deserved winner- it sent the United Center into red bliss and left Boston wondering what on earth happened?
