Hawks Fans Say Playoff Series Against The Ducks One Of The Most Stressful Yet

(CBS) Game 6 is a must-win for the Chicago Blackhawks.

Tonight's game against the Ducks could be the last one of the season, but fans CBS 2's Marissa Bailey talked to were hearing nothing of it.

Despite that, almost everyone Bailey talked to today said this playoff series has been one of the most stressful yet.

High above the hats, T-shirts and trinkets, Jonathan Toews' jersey hangs tall. He's been crucial throughout this rollercoaster of a playoff series.

"It's a nail biter," said Carly Abate. "Overtime games… hard staying up that late but can't bring myself to go into sleep even if I'm tired the next day at work"

"It doesn't get much better than this," said Sam Santucci.

Despite his Blackhawks hat and towel, Santucci is Canadian and says this playoff series is one of the best.

"Intense, very smart hockey on both sides," he said. "If you're a Canadian you have to love it."

Palace grill owner George Lemeris has 37 years of Blackhawks hockey. He agrees: This is the most stressful playoff series yet.

"There's a joke going around - you don't go to anymore cardiologists and take stress tests, they just make you watch a Blackhawks game," he said.

And despite the love of hockey here at the palace grill… and around the city… one diner we caught up with today summed up all of our hopes for tonight:

Three periods. We win it. Go home early," said Tom McDonough. "No overtime."
