On the Blues reddit one of the fans said "oh well at least we [expletive] the Blackhawks" Yeah we are hurting so badly with our 3 recent cup wins The sad thing was this was their best shot, they knocked off the Hawks, plus the Kings were taken out, and played a garbage Dallas team in the 2nd round. The path in the West was weak compared to recent years and they still didn't get it done. Next year, with rest and some defensive help the Hawks will be better, have to think the Kings will too. Plus they will be dumb enough to keep Hitchcock now.
