Go Hawks!

The Black Hawks have been going through the Western Conference in the NHL playoffs, sometimes like a dull knife, but recently more like a warmed butter knife. They've tied a record for most consecutive road winds in the playoffs with 7, and they're up 2-zip on San Jose, who had the top seed. They've looked far better, far less tentative and mistake-prone, than they have in the other series.

They're winning as a team, and right now look to be favored to come out of the West and face the winner of the Philadelphia-Montreal series.

Go Hawks!
