Reality and (recent) history have shown that it's hard to keep a good team together, the NHL is no different from the other 3 in that respect, although to a lesser degree in MLB...in the playoffs, only 1 team ends their season with a win, so I'm just gonna enjoy the ride for however long it last's, I'm not greedy, I'll take each season as it comes...but the Hawks have, this year, exceeded most (if not all) expectations already, I don't think that they're feeling any pressure whatsoever, and that has it's own advantages (and is dangerous!!)...
I'm torn between who to root for tonight...Detroit took it to us the first 4 games and we took the last two, but the Wings didn't need those games as the Hawks did need them...I'm not scared of the Ducks (1-1 away and 2-0 @ home), but they did knock SJ out and have a game 7 @ Wings...what I'm torn between is home ice advantage and the chance to play against the best team in the West, and they would have home ice...Yes, I want the Hawks to win, but if they do, I'd like it to be done against the best...I know, I'm crazy

From a fan's point of view, it was a great game to watch...I would have been disappointed if the Hawks had lost, but it was fun none the less...what a 3rd period, one of the best I've seen, although the Washington/Pitt game was probably one of the best games this entire post season!!!
These next 2 days are have 3 game 7's...the ride is just getting good!!!
PS...last night's game tallied the 1,006,920th fan in the turnstiles for the Hawks at home this year!!! |
