Are the Blackhawks heading towards a 2015 Championship or a 7th game CHOKE?
Three hundred and sixty-three days later, the Blackhawks will have their chance at redemption. A chance to re-stake their claim as the decade’s dominant franchise. A chance to move past the memories that still haunt them: the three lost leads, the puck fluttering off Nick Leddy’s jersey and past Corey Crawford in overtime, the Los Angeles Kings hopping around the United Center ice — their ice — like little kids.
“Toughest loss of our lives,” Joel Quenneville said.
Almost exactly one year later, the Hawks are back in Game 7 of the Western Conference final. The opponent is different, though the Anaheim Ducks have proven every bit as difficult, as resilient and as worthy as the Kings. The setting is different, on the road, in Anaheim at the Honda Center on Saturday night. But the goal is the same:
To get one more win. To get back to the Stanley Cup Final.
