The Chicago Blackhawks repeated the nightmare for the Vancouver Canucks, as one year ago to the day, the Blackhawks defeated the Canucks in game six. History would repeat itself as Chicago beat Vancouver 5-1.

Things started well in the first period as Roberto Luongo came up with some huge saves, but that all changed in the second. Troy Brouwer and Kris Versteeg put the Blackhawks on the board with a goal each, giving the visitors a 2-0 lead. Then, late in the second period, Dave Bolland made it 3-0 on a shorthand goal from a giveaway by Pavol Demitra.

Patrick Kane and Dustin Byfuglien put the final nails in the coffin for Vancouver’s playoff run, but not before Shane O’Brien gave his team their lone goal.
