Recap:
Los Angeles Kings 6 Chicago Blackhawks 2
The LA Kings exploded for a 5 goal third period and the Chicago Blackhawks had no answer for this. Two great teams playing each other makes me hope that this series is a long one and that good hockey is played every game. GAME THREE IS ON CBC and the series is tied 1-1.
