Well the fact that this matchup might not even happen makes it a little odd to be discussing it, but what the hell.

HAWKS WILL WIN :homer:

If Phoenix wins, we get them. If they lose, we get the winner of the SJ-LA game.

But we can beat any of those three teams no? Good deal for the Hawks IMO.

From Coyotes blogger Adam French:

The options are as such. If they win they play the Black Hawks in the first round. A team they have for the most part beaten and controlled. Their styles match up very well in the Coyotes favour as the neutral zone stoppage really disrupts Chicago. Crawford is also one of the weakest goalies in the playoffs, anything can happen in the playoffs it is true, but Smith has had the game winning touch all year long and Crawford has struggled on a talented team. I also feel the Coyotes are much more physical than the Hawks and could gain the edge there. The Hawks have the better forwards, but I think they lack the overall depth to be considered a ‘favourite,’ if I were Dave Tippett I wish to face them.

:lol:

The Hawks got the matchup I was hoping the Wings would get. Phoenix is a much easier opponent than Nashville. The Wings players and coaches are glad they don't have the travel associated with Phoenix, but with their own plane I don't think that should matter.

If Chicago plays up to their talent and the goaltending doesn't implode, I don't see the series going any longer than six with five more likely.

Joe, before you are tempted to say "Stick to soccer, kid.", let it be known that I know that the minimum series length is 4.

I can see why, nobody wants to play Nashville. In some respects, I was hoping it would be the Hawks. If we have to face them anyways, mine as well be sooner than later. On the flipside, any team can go down if they run into an opposing hot goalie. So there's always a chance we won't see them at all.
