Troy Murray: Both teams know this series isn't yet over
Q. How hard is it for a player in this series to go OK, it's 3-0 this series is over?A. On both sides, you kind of drift one way or the other. If you're up 3-0 you start to think about the possibility of moving on to the next round. If you're on the team that's down 3-0 you think of the possibility of being done by tonight.It works both ways, but there is enough experience in both rooms that I think the focus will be in the right place. San Jose doesn't believe that they're out of it - which is correct, and the Blackhawks don't believe that they've won anything yet - which is correct as well.How much tighter is this series than the Hawks' 3-0 lead would indicate?A. This series could be any which way at this point - 2-1, 1-2, 0-3, 3-0 ... the games have been that close.A timely save has basically been the difference in these games. San Jose has had a lot of quality chances and they believe if they could have capitalized, it would be a different situation. For the Blackhawks, they're just getting good goaltending, playing well and getting the job done.Finish this sentence: The Hawks will advance to the Stanley Cup Finals tonight if ...?A. If Antti Niemi continues his strong play and if the desire and desperation of the Blackhawks outlasts the do-or-die, save-nothing attitude of the San Jose Sharks. bull; You can hear Troy Murray's analysis on every Blackhawks radio broadcast on WGN 720-AM.
