The Conn Smythe could be a surprise:If the Blackhawks win tonight -- or on Wednesday -- you're going to have to pick a Conn Smythe winner, but for the first time in a long time, there's no obvious choice as the series reaches its final game. With the two goals he scored Saturday night, Kane probably put himself in that discussion, but I think if you're looking for someone you need to look at Crawford. What does this guy have to do to get the attention he deserves? He beats Jimmy Howard, he beats Jonathan Quick, he beats Tuukka Rask and you don't give him the Conn Smythe? I think it's going to be hard not to look at what Crawford's done.

Whether or not Bergeron plays, I think it ends tonight:Bergeron may not play, and if he does he still won't be 100 percent. Boston is on its heels. The Bruins have a lot of reasons to feel sorry for themselves with two losses in a row, their defense has really collapsed, and Chicago coach Joel Quenneville and the Blackhawks know you can't let it get to a Game 7 after seeing Boston win Game 7 in Vancouver two years ago. Those Canucks knew they had a Game 7 to fall back on, and then by the time they got there the momentum was all gone. The Blackhawks know Game 6 is the game they need to win, and they're playing too well right now to make me think they won't do it. Everything is pointing toward a Chicago victory.

It's 90 degrees with about 70% humidity here in Boston. Sloppy ice favors the Bruins tonight, slows down the Blackhawks brutal neutral zone attack just enough for B's to squeak out a 3-2 win.

What a silly way to talk about a series between two TEAMS.

Of course, if you watched the games instead of just reading crap articles on the web maybe you'd know that.

I said real Blackhawks fans. Run along now, I hear your family calling.
Bro, I am as real as it gets. We can talk about how Corey Crawford beat Jonathan Quick or we can talk about what a great defenceman Duncan Keith is.

Name your subject.

The entire pregame show so far is Hawks scoring goals on the Wings, the Kings, and the Bruins
