Ducks-Blackhawks: Do or Die?

The Ducks pulled off a huge win against the West's best in their last game against the San Jose Sharks.

Very few people expected them to win that game, I was one of them. So I have gone from losing all hope in the season, to thinking that there could be a shot.

In our remaining games, no other opponent is going to be tougher. If we were able to beat San Jose we should be able to fight for a win tonight.

If Anaheim wants to make the playoffs, they cannot lose more than two games at the very least. If they want any kind of chance to be mentally prepared for that kind of comeback, they must win this game.
It is the last tool we have in our regular season arsenal.

Defeating the Sharks and the Blackhawks back to back will give the Ducks the faith, the confidence, and the drive they need to squirt their way into that final spot. They will go up against teams like L.A and Vancouver and Calgary and they will have confidence in their ability to play those teams. But they need the win, this game probably feels like a game 7 to the guys.
They know how important this game is, and they will show up to play.

Chicago is a tough opponent.
They don't play the same passing, high pressure game that San Jose and Detroit play. But they have the speed to blister past defensive corps and score goals before the goalie has time to react.
The ducks need to keep the puck away from The Hawks and play tight Defense.

Getzlaf and Selanne, who previously suffered injuries against the sharks are expected to be in the line-up tonight.
Potential Goaltenders will be Hiller for Anaheim and Niemi for Chicago.

Players to watch Anaheim: Teemu Selanne, Bobby Ryan , Jonas Hiller
