Get past this series and you're basically in the Final. Whichever smoke and mirror team they would face in either Calgary or Anaheim doesn't scare me.

Would be nice to see the Ducks against tougher opponents so a better gage can be put on them but i dont think they are a walk over. Calgary isnt coming out of that series its pretty much a given that the Ducks are waltzing into the conference final. Sort of is advantage Wild or Hawks as both teams are gaining tougher playoff attributes.
But man if the hawks defense doesnt tighten up? Not sure how anyone can think the Ducks are an easy conference final oponent. I would still pick the Hawks but i would also gamble on a close series if its still underachieving defense and inconsistant goalkeeping. But again Ducks have been hard to fully gage based on their opponents.

Q gets all the love for finally putting together a lineup that make sense? Right? Though, if Versteeg is healthy, I almost guarantee he's in the lineup....
Crawford.... :lol:
Darling will play again in this series. You can almost bet on it. Thankfully, the Wild ALSO have a fraud in net. Though, not nearly as well paid as the one on the Hawks...
This may be a very long series... The Hawks can't count on their goaltending. They have to just keep scoring.

My favorite teams
If a hockey bandwagon noob like me can tell that Teuvo has been 100x better than Versteeg, I think Q would be smart enough to keep that dude benched.

I suppose this is where my bandwagon knowledge fails me. I have no idea how Q operates.

Every series is tough in that you have to beat the same team in a best of 7 in hockey, where weird shit can and does happen all the time. But they don't scare me because of what they depend on, what they've been depending on the past few years : that weird shit/lucky bounces/ good luck almost always happening in their favor. Whoever wins this series is going to the Final. The Hawks are playing a better team than either Anaheim or (definitely) Calgary is, so how they play against Minny is inconsequential to how they'll play against whoever they may face in the next round, it doesn't mean they'll play that same particular way against those ( or any other) teams. Everything changes.

The secret of Q lies in the little note pad he uses to write notes in when something significant happens.

A win is a win no matter how ugly.
Don't come out and have an abortion during the 2nd period and this game was a blowout.
Hawks go up 2-0 tomorrow!
