Got to capitalize on a chance to end the series back on home ice.

I'm using TNK's sliders with a slight adjustment to the game speed.

Two Canadian Teams Left Standing As Conference Finals Approach

Blackhawks vs. Flames
The youthful Calgary Flames and veteran-laden Chicago Blackhawks will square off in the Western Conference Finals. The Blackhawks made quick work of the Colorado Avalanche with a four game sweep, meaning they'll have well rested legs against a Flames team that played an additional two games in a 4-2 series win over the Vancouver Canucks. The Flames will look to make the west coast of Canada proud as they attempt to crack the Stanley Cup Finals.

Maple Leafs vs. Capitals
The Washington Capitals sent the Toronto Maple Leafs packing in heartbreaking fashion in the 2017 Stanley Cup Playoffs, and the Leafs are back and hungrier than ever. Auston Matthews has been on a historical level so far in the playoffs, recording 15 goals and 19 points in just nine games as the Leafs made quick work of both the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Carolina Hurricanes. However, don't underestimate the threat of Alexander Ovechkin, who has consistently put his team on his shoulders in the playoffs, not to mention Braden Holtby, who has held down the crease for the Capitals all season long.
