The Chicago Blackhawks and the Vancouver Canucks Face Off in a Game Seven For the Ages

The Vancouver Canucks had command of the series, but now the momentum lies with the Chicago Blackhawks. In a game seven between these two teams, anything can happen.

If the Canucks are going to get bounced from the playoffs by the Blackhawks for a third straight season—and enter the NHL history books for blowing a 3-0 series lead—they’ll do it with their general manager blasting the officiating and their franchise goalie stopping shots.

Faced with a decisive Game 7 on Tuesday night and the possibility of becoming just the fourth team in NHL history to lose a series after winning the first three games, GM Mike Gillis claimed the calls have been one-sided and coach Alain Vigneault declared Roberto Luongo his starter one game after benching him.

The first part may have been designed to take the focus off the second, though Gillis claimed he was just pointing out a discrepancy in penalties and what he believed were “six or seven” missed calls in Sunday’s 4-3 overtime loss in Game 6. Gillis cited a number of different statistics, but Chicago has a 27-16 series advantage in power plays—22-12 over the last four games.

Vancouver’s players weren’t willing to talk about Gillis’ rant, instead taking a few positives away from Game 6 after the Canucks were outscored 12-2 in the previous two games.

The Blackhawks appear to have an edge on the goalie they will face, assuming Vigneault was telling the truth when he said it would be Luongo.

The Canucks coach misled reporters before making rookie Cory Schneider the shocking Game 6 starter ahead of Luongo, who was named a Vezina Trophy finalist as the top NHL goalie Friday. Luongo, pulled from Games 4 and 5 and lit up by the Blackhawks the last three playoffs, came in after Schneider cramped up giving up the tying goal on a penalty shot early in the third period.

By the time Ben Smith lifted a rebound over a sprawled Luongo in overtime, Schneider was back on the bench after getting intravenous fluids. Schneider said he was fine to play Game 7, but Vigneault insisted the decision to start Luongo had already been made before the game.

The Chicago Blackhawks will take advantage of a jilted goal tender and make history with a win to advance in the playoffs.
