The visiting Chicago Blackhawks plucked game one of the Stanley Cup final from the Tampa Bay Lightning with two third period goals to win by a 2-1 count. The Bolts say they learned their lesson and will not take such a conservative approach if they go ahead again tonight. The Lightning are maintaining that tonight is not a “must win”, but come on… Seriously? Although the Bolts have been money on the road during the postseason, going back to the Windy City down two games would be pretty devastating. Tampa Bay will need to bring their “A’ game this evening to best the savvy Blackhawks and even the series.
