This game the series for the Hawks?
No...but it would be nice if they won it.
The only "must win" game is when the Bruins have 1 game left to take it all home. If the Blackhawks go down 1 - 3, the odds are stacked against them in a big way but obviously it can be done.

Totally disagree. Must win game for the Hawks. They cannot go down 3-1 to the Bruins and expect things to turn out like the Detroit series did. Boston is a much better defensive team, and I just do not see them losing three games in a row with a chance to clinch in any of those three games.
If the Blackhawks lose the next game, they don't lose the series. They can certainly win 3 against Boston if needed. If they are in the situation 100 times, maybe they only get it done a few times, but atleast there is that shot. For me, the only "must win" in any sports situation, is when the game has series clinching potential.
Obviously it would greatly benefit the Blackhawks to go 2-2 instead of 1-3...gives them better odds of winning the series for obvious reasons.
The next game is a "big" one, but not "the" one.
im at a loss for words with this post.

Since 1939, the team that has won game 3 when series was tied 1-1 have gone on to win the cup 84% of the time.
Ouch.
How was the stat irrelevant? It shows how difficult it is to come back in a Cup Final after being down 2-1. What have you seen that gives you any confidence that the Hawks can come back and win this? Except for the first period in Game 2, Bruins have dominated the Hawks.
