I'll say the first part of the sentence. Certainly not the 2nd. It's harder to play someone closer than losing game 7 in OT on their home ice. but the fact that we were dominated ni game 1, outplayed in game 2, outplayed in game 6, and mostly outplayed in game 7 pretty much gives me no reason to say the Hawks were the 2nd best team or even 7th best team.
