I see this like the Detroit series from 2 years ago. Going to be a fucking battle, better bring the Defense. I would think Minny would hit a rough patch eventually, they have been playing pretty damn well for a good period of time.

Dubnyk really only had to worry about Tarasenko.

He's going to have to deal w/ Toews, Kane, Hossa and even Sharp.

I think they can get a book on Dubnyk.

We need to hope the HAWKS goaltending is strong... the Hawks will score goals.

Good points Cocked. Keep the D tight in front of Crow, so he can get back in a groove.

Gonna be a very tough series

Wild are better than they were last year, and last year was a dog fight

Oh, great, I'm gonna fall asleep while watching Blackhawks playoff hockey

Hawks in 5, I wanted to say 4, but we never sweep anybody

Seems like the Hawks can never have a playoff run without facing a lame trapping team.

Gotta hope the Hawks score first every game.

I took the Hawks in 6 in the last series. I'm feeling the surprise sweep this time as the Hawks have begun to gel. The Blues are not the Hawks. They offer a much different set of obstacles. The Wild cannot hang, losing game 1 will deflate them enough to lose game 2. Then they come to our slaughter house.

Crawford gonna Crow.

This terrifies me. We scored one goal on Dubynk in 2 whole games. We have ended the Wild's season 2 years in a row. I had this same feeling when we played the Casucks 3 times in a row and look what happened there. Can we really end a team's season three years in a row? Has that happened in the NHL before?

I think the Hawks will win it but this may go 7.

No, then we go to their slaughterhouse. Where we win about as often as a Packers fan says something intelligent. Thank god we have Home Ice.

I don't think we have home ice man.

edit: never mind, I must have found an old article from last year. I guess its good. But I think I would have preferred to steal home ice from them then have to play 2 games where they can steal it from us.
