Blackhawks Niemi Hockey
FILE - In this April 26, 2010 file photo, Chicago Blackhawks goalie Antti Niemi, of Finland, lets out a yell after the Blackhawks scored an open-net goal late in a hockey game against the Nashville Predators in Nashville, Tenn., to give Chicago a 5-3 win and capture the best-of-seven quarterfinal series 4-2. The 26-year-old first-year Niemi, who once served a stint in the Finnish Army and later drove a Zamboni to earn extra money, has already faced off against Nashville's Pekka Rinne and Vancouver Canucks' Roberto Luongo and came out on top. Now he'll be surrounded by Sharks when the Blackhawks begin the Western Conference finals in San Jose on Sunday, May 16, 2010 (AP Photo/Mark Humphrey, File)
