Cool (and depressing) story about the Chicago series, love that kind of insight. He's right, that team was a contender and should've went far. But IMO even before that series started, I felt like we had already blown the season.
Coughing up a 14pt lead or whatever it was in the division and losing it to Vancouver after all those injuries is what killed us. We should've had an easy first round draw against the Blues (who weren't near what they are now), instead we completely limp down the stretch and draw a young, up and coming Blackhawks team. Disgusting.
He's right, with our experienced roster and how young the Hawks were, we could've beaten them. But we had already choked that season away before the playoffs even started. That year still stings.
