After the Chicago Blackhawks took a rough 3-2 overtime loss to the Phoenix Coyotes in Game 1 of the Western Conference quarterfinals Thursday, Lemont's resident NHL commentator Peter Marzano took to his YouTube account for a quick recap.

The Indians (11-0) found their stride in the second quarter after Tyler Jay caught a deep jump ball pass and took it to the end zone for a 75-yard touchdown to give the Indians a 14-7 lead. That, along with two second-quarter interceptions, sunk the host Bengals (7-4) after a very strong start by Oak Forest that included a 15-yard TD pass from quarterback Tom Zale to Arthur Johnson on fourth-and-8. “It definitely took…
