Postseason greetings from the Blackhawks usually aren't well received by opponents especially when it comes to overtime.

I think that our mindset is staying with it somebody will ... make a great play Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said. But then again you don't want to be too in a hurry to make that play because sometimes that can bite you. Being patient.
That great play Saturday came from Antoine Vermette whose second overtime goal gave the Hawks a 5 4 victory in Game 4 of the Western Conference finals.
Saturday's victory was the franchise's 30th home playoff victory in overtime fourth all time in NHL history. That includes 17 at the United Center and 13 at Chicago Stadium.
It also improved the team's record to 4 0 in overtime games this postseason two double overtimes and two triple overtimes.
The Blackhawks are the first team in NHL history to win four multiple overtime playoff games in one year per Elias Sports Bureau.
The talk is always pretty similar when we go into overtime whether it's the first overtime third overtime whatever the situation we might find ourselves in Toews said. We just keep going. I think it's just a feeling we're eventually going to find that break. We've seen it so far. Hopefully we can continue to work for those bounces.
