March 16, 2020: San Jose

Do you know the way to San Jose? This is where the Blackhawks would begin the 2010 Western Conference Finals. With a trip to the Stanley Cup at stake, it was important to jump out quick. Losing the first game like we did against the Preds and Canucks would not be wise… the Blackhawks got the memo.

I remember that day, May 16th. We had a few appointments lined up. My fiancee and I were looking at places to buy, mostly condos at this point. It was a beautiful day outside, but all I wanted to do was stay inside. With the Blackhawks game starting in the afternoon, we’d have to make these visits quick. I had to get back in front of the TV; I couldn’t miss this. I don’t even remember the places we looked at that day; heck, we could have been at the condo we decided to buy… I don’t remember. I do remember that I did find my way back to the couch just as the first period got under way. The Sharks would strike first.

The Sharks were a really good team. Back to back best records in the Western Conference; nothing to show for it thus far. If it was anybody but the Hawks, they probably could have got to the Finals. On this particular day, that “Niemi says No” saying was never so true. 44 saves before it was all said and done. Every team needs a game like this, when the goalie stands on their head. Heck, the Sharks even had 5 power play opportunities; nada after that first one. It may have been Niemi in this one, and yes, he was on point most of the playoffs, but our defense wasn’t too shabby.

We’ve already talked about Keith and Seabrook; like Kane and Toews, I do believe they should have a statue of both of these guys one day, symbolizing our top defensive duo for most of the Stanley Cup run. It wasn’t only them though. Brian Campbell may have not been the most physical guy, but man was he fast, and he could move the puck. Brent Sopel was not fast at all, yet if you needed a shot block, he was there… every time. Hammer wasn’t too shabby either; he had a little bit of everything going on, but he was no stranger to sacrificing his body. The defense was there most of this series too. 7 goals allowed the whole series!!! The Blackhawks would sweep through the Sharks scoring only 13 goals total.

The sweep didn’t happen because the Sharks were a bad team; they were really, really good. It was just that the Blackhawks were not going to be stopped; if the Sharks had their A game going, the Blackhawks brought that A+. Byfuglien after a coming out party against the Canucks, would score 4 more goals in this series. Sharp & Bolland had 2 each. Kane had 0 goals after scoring 7 in the first two rounds. If I told you that, you figure the Sharks had a good shot. Like I said, nothing was going to stop the Blackhawks.

As Versteeg found the empty net with a little under a minute to go in Game 4, the UC erupted; it was happening. The Blackhawks were going back to the Stanley Cup Finals!!!
