You make it sound the Hawks should be afraid. I'm sorry I can't get afraid of the Ducks, I simply can't. There is not a team in the West that the Hawks can't beat. And you could argue the Hawks could beat every team in the NHL. So you're statement, NUN, really should fall on deaf eyes. I don't disrepsect the Ducks, I, and I am pretty sure the Hawks players themselves will agree with what I am saying, just don't fear them. Well I was just trying to point out that the Hawks shouldnt be that down about losing to Anaheim. And also wanted to point out that Anaheim has PROVEN to be a real good playoff team in the last few years. But hey, if you want to believe the Hawks have already proven something, be my guest. the ducks are 8-11 in their last 2 postseasons, and the only series they won was against a san jose team that always chokes. the hawks won more games in last year's playoffs than the ducks did in the last 2 years combined. also, those ducks teams were actually GOOD in the regular seasons of those 2 years. they're not good this season.
