#1 BLACKHAWKS (36-7-5 77 PTS) VS #8 WILD (26-19-3 55 PTS)
SEASON SERIES - HAWKS WIN 2-0-1
WHO WINS? BLACKHAWKS: Without sounding biased I believe that the Wild are just way too outmatched here. Wild have kind of slipped their way into the playoffs while the Blackhawks have been dominant all season. The Hawks ended up finishing first in two main categories that stand out to me, goals and goals against average. Not only are they the 2nd highest scoring team but they are the #1 team as far as allowing goals go. Backstrom has been shakey as of late and I just think the Hawks are going to be too much for the Wild. Parise and Suter are good pick ups for the Wild but the Hawks depth is just going to be way too much for the Wild to handle. Only question I have for the Hawks is do they start Crawford or Emery in net? If it was up to my I would start Emery as I think he has been the better goalie. Wondering will Coach Q go with the both of them or pick one and stick with them until either they mess up or stick with them if they play well. All these questions will be answered on Tuesday but for me Hawks should win this series pretty easily

WESTERN CONFERENCE PREDITIONS
..At some point (when) Sharks will break through and go deep and they want nothing more to face a lost Canuck team and payback for what happened a few years ago. Watching the outcome of the "looser plays Canucks" the Kings are going to have their hands full with the Blues. 
. They will grind you down til nothing left .. Have fun with that kings
Cheers to a great playoffs...
