Man wishing someone would beat the ****ing blackhawks already. I hope this is just a sign that the West sucks ass and not a sign that Chicago is historically good.

[BulldogWrestler]

Pretty sure Chicago is just historically good.

If you've seen them play - you'll see that they play with a "first line" non-stop through the entire game.

The west is a better conference top to bottom without a doubt.

[BulldogWrestler]

Yeah, it's k ind of both.

The West is good all the way around and top notch, and the Blackhawks make them look like school children when they play them.

[split decision]

The Hawks' run to open the season has been thoroughly impressive but it always comes down to the playoffs. Will they hold it together all the way to Lord Stanley's Cup? I won't be convinced until it happens. They're a good team for sure. A championship team? We'll see.

[BulldogWrestler]

Dude..its not just the record. Look at how they're playing. Its like me wrestling my 4 year old nephew.

AND they're not even a complete and healthy team. They're downright dominant. I mean...anything can happen in the playoffs, but its black hawks all the way by the numbers.

That's just it, by the numbers. We've seen many a dominant regular season team lose their luster in the crunch. Will Chicago be any different? Don't know yet. It will be interesting to see, but I'm not going to be shocked if they bow out in the second round.

Edit: If you're looking for a sig bet that the Hawks will take the Cup, I'm here to bet against them.

Your utter hate for the ***nucks inspires me..

I know everyone says that. I haven't watched much hockey this year outside of the seven or eight Pens games I've been able to catch.
