Yah especially with all the OT. Seth Jones is going to be a terrific player.

It's like time stood still for the Predators as they lose in 6 games again. Their fans are going to have Duncan Keith nightmares throughout the summer. Great series, too bad the Predators couldn't do it.

Looks like the Blackhawks are going all the way.

Many 'Hawk fans are not nearly as confident...Every time Rozival gets on the ice, we expect an egregious turnover that will end up in our own net! And Timmonen is so slow, and so done, that Q is having to bury Keith, Seabrook, and Hjarlmasson in minutes...that will take it's toll.

Despite having won a cup, Crawford still has a legion of haters.

The PK has been trending downward, since the 'Hawks traded Ben Smith for Andrew Dejardins and the PP has underperformed all year.

The 2nd and 3rd lines have been disappointing lately (although Vermette is starting to gain a little traction on line 3), and we are still waiting for Bickell to pull his head out.

Part of the problem of being a team with the success that my guys have had, is that there is no complacency or overconfidence in the teams that are facing us. Nobody's arrogance is working for us...like the way Vancouver's arrogance worked for the Flames!

I was actually cheering for the Blackhawks on this series and this game because they have similar fate as the Flames in the playoff so far. When the Hawks won I thought the Flames will win too. Good game though and it looks like they are back with Corey Crawford next round. So I guess they are just waiting for the winner on Minnesota and St. Louis.
