Expect these two teams to come in and battle to the end, of what could be a critical game 5. Both teams coming off a physically exhausted game 4 in which the Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said '' They keep coming,''
A lot of focus and criticism coming from the critics about Corey Crawford´s play has been directed at his weak glove. He allowed 12 goals in the Stanley Cup Finals so far, with a 10-2 record with 1.58 GAA & .938 SP in 12 playoff starts at United Center the Hawks goalie isn't too worried about his "weak" glove.
Also the Blackhawks beat Boston´s goalie Tuukka Rask a half-dozen times in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup finals to send the series back to Chicago tied two games apiece. But with the Blackhawks trying to contain Boston´s top scorer Patrice Bergeron who leads the team in goals they leave open Johnny Boychuk who never scored more than five goals in a season,has six in the postseason. Coach Joel Quenneville has to be concern about this.

These grueling overtime games are taking a toll on the starters from each team, its time to start looking towards the bench. With Boston bringing in Johnny Boychuk, Tyler Seguin and the Blackhawks, Brandon Saad and Patrick Sharp. Each team has players on the bench that can make plays and contribute to there team success and so far it´s worked out for each team. So they keep tinkering, each of them, looking for any advantage they can find to win a game.
