Sharks 5, Blackhawks 6 (Shootout)

How could the Blackhawks blow a two-goal lead in the final two minutes? At least they managed to win and add two points to their remarkable season points total. They are still two points above #5 seed Vancouver for the #4 seed and home-ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs. (Against Vancouver.)

Booing Blackhawk alumnus Jeremy Roenick during his shootout scoring attempt was bad form. Roenick was a quintessential Blackhawk, thrilling fans in Chicago Stadium during his too-brief tenure here. He didn't deserve the shower of boos he absorbed during his unsuccessful shot.
