The Chicago Blackhawks will like their chances if they're slammed, knocked, and/or dropped to the ice an exorbitant amount of times in Game 2.

Blackhawks head coach Joel Quenneville met with the media one day after dropping the series opener to the St. Louis Blues, and explained that his side will welcome the absurd number of hits his counterpart, Ken Hitchcock, aims to have his team land.

"I hope he tries to get 70," Quenneville said, according to Sportsnet's Mark Spector. "(It) means we'll have the puck all game."

He added: "In the competitiveness of the game I don't think we get distracted by that. We get excited."

The Blues threw the body 41 times in three-and-a-half periods in Game 1, which is well above their regular-season average of 23.6 knocks.

Still, suffice it to say, the Blues have their work cut out for them if they're going to indulge their coach.
