Who would you guys rather face in the 1st round should we make it? There are a lot of teams out there that want to get revenge on the Hawks for knocking them out of the playoffs. I am assuming whoever is the 4th seed is the ideal matchup. 2nd for me would be the Wings. Reason being that the Wings seem to be struggling down the stretch (3-5-2 in last 10) and it would be a good opportunity to get the Wings monkey off our backs. Next would probably be San Jose, but only because Vancouver is just that dominant this year. I wouldnt hate playing Vancouver, because if we beat them it would probably be the greatest thing ever, and the city of Chicago should probably request that Vancouver the GM Place as proof of ownership. At the same time, Vancouver is even better than last year, and I don't want to give up that mental edge by losing this series. But the most important thing is getting in. Phoenix is losing 1-0. This is good for 2 things. A Sharks win (or SOL) would clinch the 2 seed over the Wings, giving Detroit nothing to play for tomorrow. And if Phoenix loses and the Hawks win, we will get the 5th seed (right?)
