From one foot man to another. They score. And just like that, it’s a one- nothing hockey game. Well, they started like a freight train, just steamrolling their opponent, James. I I mean, they really dictated right from the onset of this game. That tells me one thing. They were prepared coming in. There’s no way that the goalender saw this puck. I mean, there’s so much traffic net front. I mean, screens all over the place. You can see him trying to track Bob and Weave, but he can’t catch up to it. The Blackhawks quickly send a message that home sweet home is overrated, Cheryl. It is in this case. And what a quick start for the away team. This is exactly what they wanted to do. They’re up one with under a minute into the game. And wow, now their home team is chasing the game. St. Lewis takes possession of the puck. Picked off in the offensive end. Shots him down. Feeds it over to Thomas. And now he tries to get it across to Pareo. Went for the dirty dangle and it goes sideways. Oh, I know what he was trying to do there, James. He thought he had it with that move, but he created some space for himself, but unfortunately loses the handle and it dies on the stick. Tries to get it to Shen. He carries the puck up along the wing. Chicago’s looking to break out of their own end. Grabbed along the board by Shen along the half wall with Curt and that’s broken up.

We got a whistle as the puck’s frozen. I really like the way that this game has started for them here, James. And a reason why is that they’re physically engaging. Just have a look at this hit right here. You want to drive, play, you want to impose your physical will right from the start of the game. You want to be prepared right from puck drop. That hit right there tells me they’re ready. Lots of hockey left to be played in this period. Chicago’s ahead one- nothing. Play resumes here as he wins the draw inside the opposite side. And he turned that aside as we continue play here. Delay penalty coming up here by the official and he sprints to the bench to get the extra attacker out on the ice. Avoids the check and maintains possession. Russell blows stopping the play. Mors going off for crosschecking. Important task for the PKers ahead of them. Up by one and a real opportunity protected. St. Louis has their main advantage here now for the first time this evening. No time like the present. Hey James and the power play to get it done. Get the equalizer in this one. It’s about creating momentum, not taking it away. They are got to look to the net. They’ve got to drive lanes and try and get on the scoreboard here. James shows incredible quickness right there as he makes one and then the second save. Dickson’s recognizing they’re still short-handed here as they get ready for the faceoff.

Moves it to There’s the whistle as the puck stopper likes to hang on. Dickson’s ready for the draw as they continue to be short-handed here. The Blackhawks win the draw and they clear that puck and a tenacious effort pays off as he comes up with it into the offensive end now. Morris almost back on the ice. Porchinski’s got it in the defensive end. Both teams are now back to even strength as the power play has expired. The next shift is critical. James, they had the opportunity on the power play to get back in it and get the equalizer. Now they’re down by one. So they have to manage some energy here and they have to dictate pace and get back in the game. Streaking into the attacking zone to the right. Here’s a pass and scores. What an opportunity and delivers. That’s just a heads up shot. He saw the five hole open and the quick delivery of the puck keeps the goalender clean. The Blues get it back to even Steven here in period number one. Yeah. And halfway through the period, you know, they find their legs. You can certainly tell that they they found their mojo a little bit here and they’re able to get on the board. You got to trust the process in these games if you can play consistent. And we take a drive to Clutch City as they take the lead. Well, the lead is in their hands and now it’s about building off of that good shift management, dictating pace, controlling the offensive zone, everything. Now it’s on the line. Well, this is a great goal, but I think I like the start of it even better. It’s just it’s the same guy who who was able to get the catalyst going and then finding a way to finish it. It’s all about the interception. I mean, if you don’t have the puck, you can’t score. He has a great job of getting the puck and then he finishes it off. You got to be opportunistic when you make those kind of plays. The Blackhawks have put themselves in the enviable position of playing with the lead. Cheryl, you always rather be ahead, wouldn’t you? It’s the best place to be. But you want to extend that lead and you want to have an ability to play a little more comfortable, James. You got to stay aggressive. You got to manage the puck and you got to look to attack the net. Quick shot. That goes wide. Here’s a chance behind the net and that goes off the body. Oh, how did he get a blow on net? What a stop by Knight. Well, this is an incredible athletic save, but this is all instinct. There’s no time to put yourself position. You just react and if you get there, you get there. What a great job. Chicago’s got possession here on their own end and he takes the dish. Good reach for the stick to knock the puck away. Neighbors takes it along the wing. Takes it from the right side. Denise him on the stop. They fight for it along the boards and that’s stolen by a nice takeaway in the defensive end by Gloic. Well, that play didn’t go his way, James. He tried a little bit too much there. And when you’re trailing a game, I get you want to try and do a little bit extra, try and create some offense, but unfortunately that didn’t work out. Nice. Well, hammering on what happened in the game, James. It’s all about what you do now. Staying in the present. That’s exactly what they’ve done. And they’ve got the equalizer. He’s going to finish this play. But I love how he starts it. It’s all with a loose puck battle. And you have to have the tenacity and the fight within you to win this battle. It ain’t easy when you got a defender right on you, but you figure it out, the power out, and you take it to the net. St. Louis levels the playing field as they answer back here midway through the first. Yeah, they’re able to weather the storm after that first goal was scored against them and find some rhythm back in their game here, James. And coach will love that.

You know that their first few strikes will be more urgent, but they’ll have to be accountable on the other side of the puck as well. You can see it in the goalender’s body language. He isn’t happy with that. He thought he was in good position, squared to the puck. Unfortunately, got it, but not all of it. The Blackhawks take the onegoal lead here in the first. And if I’m the coach, I’m telling them to keep going. Be aggressive. Stay on the puck. Especially after you score a goal head goal. You got them back on their heels. You got to attack. Chicago’s got a hold of the puck now. And now it’s grabbed by Nar. Tenacious Donald for the puck along the wall. Here’s a shot blocked and he may have just stopped it. I think you did, James.

Well, I really like their play up to this point in the first period here, James.
