Big story—The Stanley Cup will be in the building and it can be awarded to the Blackhawks if they win. There hasn't been a bigger storyline all season long. However, the Blackhawks are 0-3 in Wachovia Center this season, including 0-2 in this series. They were outscored 4-1 in the first period of Games 3 and 4. The Flyers are 9-1 at home in the playoffs and are riding a seven-game home winning streak.

Who's hot -- Dustin Byfuglien finally got unleashed Sunday night and wound up with 2 goals and 2 assists. He had only 1 assist through the first four games of the series. Dave Bolland has 3 goals in the series and Duncan Keith has 1 goal and 4 assists over the last three games. Ville Leino had 3 assists Sunday and now has 3 goals and 4 assists in the series. Danny Briere has 2 goals and 7 assists against the Hawks Scott Hartnell also has 3 goals and 4 assists in the series.

Stat pack—Chicago became the 21st team in Stanley Cup Final history to take a 3-2 series lead by winning Game 5. Fourteen of the first 20 have gone on to win the Stanley Cup. … The home team is 5-0 in this series. Only three times in history ('55, '65, '03) has the home team won every game in a Stanley Cup Final. … Jonathan Toews needs one point to tie Denis Savard's franchise record for points in a single postseason (29). … Leino is two points shy of Dino Ciccarelli's record for most points scored by a rookie in a single postseason (21). Ciccarelli set the mark in 1981 with the Minnesota North Stars. … After Sunday's loss the Flyers are 9-1 in Games 4-7 this postseason. … Chicago hasn't won a game in Philadelphia since 1996 (0-10, including the two losses in this series).

Puck Drop— "If you look at the Final, it's like a novel and there could be seven chapters in it; each chapter is its own story," Laviolette said. "(Sunday) night in chapter 5, (the Blackhawks) were probably happy with what they did, and we were not. It moves on to another day and another chapter. Our team will be ready to give it."
