Scott Rickenbach's Free Pick (Opinion Only) in Monday NHL: Chicago Blackhawks Money Line (+) @ Calgary @ 9:35 PM ET - Funny things can happen in the NHL playoffs and that has been the case in this series. In comparing these two teams, the Flames are the "grizzled playoff veterans" while the Blackhawks are they "young inexperienced playoff club". However, this has actually turned out to work in favor of the Hawks and that's why we mentioned about that funny - or "strange" - things can happen in the post-season. Calgary has had the lead in both games so far in this series - including a 2-0 lead in Game Two at Chicago - and yet the Flames have lost each game.Part of the problem has been that the Blackhawks seem unphased no matter what the score is while the Flames - despite being the veteran club - tend to tense up and then just try to hang on for dear life. Of course the "tight play" of the Flames with the lead has been their demise and that means that no lead tonight is comfortable for the Flames. That is also why the line value here is with the underdog Blackhawks who continue to have a "nothing to lose" attitude and that makes them a very dangerous dog up in Calgary tonight! Consider a small play on Chicago on the money line on Monday night.
