Two of the hottest teams in hockey meet on Wednesday night as the Chicago Blackhawks host the Boston Bruins.  The Blackhawks have won four straight while the Bruins have won six of their last seven.  Chicago has not made the playoffs since 2001-2002 but look poised to make a serious run under head coach Joel Quenneville.  Chicago is 6-0-2 at home this season and they have the highest average attendance in the league. "It's a great motivator for our club," Quenneville said, "With their backing it creates a great environment with excitement and noise. The pace of the game is quicker when they're into it. It's been a great start. It's 21,000 every night. It has to be the greatest place to play." SBG Global reports that early Hockey betting has the public taking   Blackhawks at Home.
