The City of Chicago was buzzing all weekend for Games 1 & 2 for the Stanley Cup and it didn't disappoint. Even the Jordan statue outside of the United Center was sporting the Blackhawks Jersey. The Madhouse on Madison lived up to it in both games as you could feel the excitement and the energy through the TV. Game one was a 6-5 win for Chicago and the game itself did very well TV rating wise. Game one was a back and forth shootout, and the Flyers coach pulled his goalie, but Chicago continued to stick with their guy. Both Goalies were a lot better 2 days later for Game 2 as Chicago won 2-1, but it was still very intense. As this series shifts to Philadelphia, expect the players to really start to show dislike for one another. In the other rounds both teams were playing teams they had been battling all season with. These 2 only faced each other once in the regular season, but they know each other all well and fine now. The Series is going to continue to be intense, and an adrenaline rush for 60 minutes. I think the Blackhawks are going to be raising the Stanley Cup for the first time in 49 years, and the City of Chicago deserves it, because after this series, its back to Cubs/White Sox until fall.
