No they do not. Watch a Blackhawks game. Then go and watch a Blackhawks game in the Conference finals from last season.
Right now they are ticking along at somewhere between a 4 or 5 out of 10. Sometimes they kick it up a notch to maybe a 6 or 7.
I think the only time I have seen the Chicago Blackhawks at close to full intensity was the series against the Kings.
That series, in my opinion, is in the conversation for the best hockey ever played.
I am a begrudging admirer of the Chicago Blackhawks because they are just that damned good.
Its also why I'm happy the Flames are where they are in the rebuild because at the moment all roads to the Cup go through Chicago and we're not at that level yet.
