The Chicago Blackhawks and Philadelphia Flyers met up in Chicago for the 5th game of the 2010 Stanley Cup playoffs, on Sunday, June 6th. The home team had won each time, in the first four games. Philadelphia was hoping to change that, but they were unsuccessful, as Chicago beat them 7-4. As Chicago nor Philadelphia had much luck stopping the other, Philadelphia was hoping to change that, but they were unsuccessful. However, it did not matter in the end, as Chicago simply overwhelmed Philadelphia with their offensive attack.

Antti Niemi, goalie for Chicago and Stanley Cup odds star, made 23 saves and allowed 4 goals. Brian Boucher and Michael Leighton, Philadelphia used two goalies and each allowed three goals, though Boucher got the loss. On the offensive side of things, Dustin Byfuglien was the unlikely hero for Chicago, as he scored twice and added two assists as well. 6 different players had scored for Chicago, including Patrick Kane, by the end of the Game 6. Four different players scored for Philadelphia, and Kimmo Timonen was the standout player for them, as he scored a goal and added an assist as well.

One thing was crystal clear, by one thing was crystal clear. In a defensive struggle, if Chicago were not able to beat Philadelphia, they would beat them by playing a non-stop, action-packed style of hockey. They managed to do that perfectly, and all they need now is a victory on Wednesday, June 9th, to seal the deal and clinch the 2010 Stanley Cup.
