It was not a shutout but it was impressive. The Blackhawks jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first period and never looked back winning 6-2 to keep themselves in the playoff hunt.

I had bought $10 tickets ahead of time since I knew student tickets (and the game) would sell out – which they did.

After the game, we tried to take one of the bar shuttles that stop at the corner of Wood St. and Madison Ave. but the West End Bar & Grill shuttle was already full. We made the walk over since our car was parked that way. We were one of the last groups to arrive at the West End and it was completely packed. We moved onto where we normally eat when attending Bulls or Blackhawks games – The Beer Bistro.
