Kane prefers to dangle. Hossa has been a monster at both. The trailer on rushes is the primary offensive focus...Seabrook, Keith, Leddy, Oduya coming late will be threats...Brookbank and Hjammer not so much.
Good Luck to your guys...they play a clogging game, it will be a Flame win...they try to match speed, it will be my guys.

Let's see:
Flames forwards don't hit;
Flames defencemen are always mesmerized by offensive cycles;
Flames forwards don't like to backcheck so the Hawks defencemen trailer will be open most times.
You might as well make this 3 reasons why Chicago will win.
