Predators are a different animal now. Good luck Chitown, you're done.

Not buying the Predators season this year. Combine that with the Hawks experience and I am thinking Hawks in 6.

Kane's progress has been fast, already taking slapshots and one-tiimers and apparently ready to start taking hits in practice soon.

Hawks in 7.

vs. the Preds the 'Hawks were 3-1...vs. the 'Hawks the Preds were 1-1-2...

this style matchup has been problematic for my guys, but, not as bad as when Trotz was running a neutral zone trap.

Rinne and the Preds have scuffled lately...but the 'Hawk O has not been doing well either.

Can't stand the bandwagon Chicago fans who have unfortunately tarnished the reputation of the die-hards who stuck with the team through those atrociously bad years in the early-mid 2000's. Preds in 7.

The Predators also won only six of their last 19 games.

My money is on the Hawks.

Blackhawks in 5. I like Rinne a ton right along with Weber but Chicago just has a playoff gear that rarely gets matched.

Hawks in 5 or 6. If I could choose any team to face in the first round of the playoffs in the West it would be the Predators as they came back down to earth in the last 1/4 of the season. Just not enough overall talent to compete with the Hawks.

You know Nashville hated this too because they're always getting so many Hawks fans in Nashville. This will be a quick series I think, 5 games for Chicago tops.

Almost all teams on the upswing have these kind of fans...for myself, I am irritated by LA fans that have come out of the woodwork the passed few years...

The following is a response to a PM, inquiring on Kane and the 'Hawk D...

Dion...Kane is skating with the team in a "no-contact" jersey, and practicing slap shots and one timers, but, is not looking to be ready for the Predator series. Reports have his stickhandling to be very good.

On the Defense, Oduya has been much improved, since returning from injury...but, Q had split up Seabrook and Keith, to try to help Rozival and Timonen, who both have been TERRIBLE...Rundblad has been equally AWFUL, especially in his own end...I look for Q to basically shorten the roster and give very limited minutes to the 3rd pair...Crawford has played his best hockey over the last 3 weeks, to steal some points, but the 3rd pair is a huge concern for Chi fans.

I will go against conventional wisdom and say Nashville in 6. After a terrible stretch the Preds get a couple early bounces and go on a nice run.
