I read a stat stating that the Chicago Blackhawks are 32-0-0 this season when the Blackhawks lead after two periods (including regular season and playoffs). So in other words, if you're Tampa Bay, the last thing I would want is to be down heading into the 3rd Period. Chicago trailed 1-0 in Game 1 on Wednesday, so this was not an issue. But can you imagine winning all of your games when leading after two periods? That is nothing short of impressive. It means you know how to close out games. Either that, or you are fortunate enough that games don't go into Overtime with the lead you established.
Another reminder- Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals is Saturday in Tampa Bay. CHI leads the series 1-0.
