Game 2 preview

Saturday Night at 8p.m. We will see the Bruins and Blackhawks play game two of the Stanley Cup Final.

The Hawks took game one in a triple overtime game, after trailing by two goals, the Hawks capitalized on a turnover by Tory Krug, and then a shot bounced off of Bruins defender Andrew Ference, which tied the game.

In game two both teams will look to continue their play from game one. Each team spent a good chunk of time in the offensive zone cycling the puck for shots. Both teams also had a few break away chance, and odd man rushes.

In game one there was a lack of specialty teams due to a total of only six penalties called in the entire game. The Bruins were able to capitalize on their first power play opportunity, but neither team would see a power play goal for the rest of the game.

In game two the Hawks and Bruins will be hoping to get a few more chances on special team play.

The Bruins may be with out their top line's right winger Nathan Horton who is considered day to day with an upper body injury. Horton was seen at practice today, but not with his line. That spot was taken by Tyler Seguin.

The Bruins may need some bounces to go there way after going down 0-1 in a hard fought game one. The team had ample chances to finish the game in OT and either a defenders stick, or an extra move kept the puck from the back of the net.

The goaltenders who put on a show in game one will again show up on their game so both teams will need to be quick and precise in their offensive game while the defenders will be looking to keep every puck from the net.

Clearing the puck out of the defensive zone may be the key to this match up. In game 1 both teams had trouble clearing the zone which resulted in a lot of time in the offensive zones for each team.

If game one was any sign, game two could very likely take more then 60 minutes. What's better then play off hockey? More playoff hockey.
