It's finally that time of year - the Stanley Cup playoffs are here!

Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of Memorial Day's Western Conference finals online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

According to SB Nation sports reporter Pat Iverson, here are three "things learned" from Game 4:

1. Chicago can't take advantage of a strong start

The Blackhawks sent the Madhouse on Madison into a frenzy for the first ten minutes of the game, dominating possession and chances for a long stretch of the first period. All that excitement led to nothing on the scoreboard, a missed opportunity that loomed larger as the game progressed and the Ducks gained strength.

2. But their lineup additions paid off

Teuvo Teravainen and Antoine Vermette don't jump off the screen as difference makers, but coach Joel Quenneville's decision to dress them helped his team win Game 4. Vermette's skills on the dot helped Chicago win 48 faceoffs, tipping the scales in his team's favor ever so slightly. And Teravainen, a rookie, was particularly active early in the game with a few scoring chances. Oh, and Vermette scored the game-winner in the second overtime. So good decision, Coach Q!

3. Both sides showed resilience

Nobody would've been surprised if the Ducks packed it in after Seabrook's goal to make it 3-1. Instead, they roared back with the best sequence of the playoffs, ripping off three goals in 37 seconds to take the lead. And for many teams, blowing a lead in that fashion would be completely demoralizing. But Chicago quickly bounced back to tie things up again and send it to overtime. It was a brilliant display of why these two teams are battling for a spot in the Stanley Cup Final.

The series is currently tied 2-2. Meanwhile, the New York Rangers and the Tampa Bay Lightning are currently will continue the Easttern Conference finals with Game 6 on Tuesday night (May 26). 

The game will be broadcasted live on local sports channels NBCS, TVA, and CBC, but fans can also listen in on the radio at WGN, WBUZ, WNIO, and KLAA.
