The way this series was going to go was questionable after Game 1, with the Charlotte Checkers seeing a 3-1 lead vanish and the Chicago Wolves taking the game in overtime to set the tone. It is often difficult to recover from a comeback loss like that early in a series. Just ask the Toronto Marlies in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
The Wolves have been spectacular in their Game 1s to start playoff series. They defeated the Iowa Wild in Game 1 overtime, they defeated the San Diego Gulls in Game 1 overtime, and they defeated our Charlotte Checkers in Game 1 overtime.
