No Fun Shogun
34-38-61-10-13-15
My guess would be Friday, as that'd give the game sevens that are played on Wednesday (if any are needed) a night off.
Good point... would be better for ratings too.
I just becamse the world's biggest Wild fan.
However, after the end of this series I am not really scared of anyone other than the SHarks. Hoping for a repeat of 2010 with a sweep in the CF.

I don't really give a ****. The Hawks can steamroll either team. I'm not worried about who wins the other series.

Last nights loss for Minnesota was really unfortunate. The Wild obviously are the preferred next round opponent but the 'lanche caught a break w/ that offsides no call ...
If it's the Avs, they definitely are going to be a tough out.
It just seems they know how to play the Hawks.
That said, they haven't looked nearly as explosive as they did in the regular season. They still are a young team and the weight of the playoffs could cause them to make mistakes.

I'm not sure what to make of Colorado. They've had the Hawks number. But the Hawks are different team in April/May than in the regular season. Whoever they get, they get.

I'm not scared of a bottom 5 possession team in a 7 game series, no. Varly can steal a bunch of one off regular season games but he'll be hard pressed to do that in a series with this team.
As for game days, there are 2 NBC games next weekend, 1 Saturday and 1 Sunday. I suspect the Hawks will play 1, with the other being the Atlantic matchup. So they'll either play game 1 Friday with game 2 Sunday in that slot or play game 1 Saturday before the Derby. I'm hoping for Fri-Sun, have a bachelor party next weekend and will be golfing Saturday afternoon.

I do hope the Avalanche & Wild go to a 7th game. It doesn't really matter which team the Hawks face as both will be tough apponents. Either team will be somewhat tired if they go the 7 games and the Avs have problems on defense but very explosive on the offense. The Wild are a good team but not quite as explosive on the offense a are the Avs and of course the Wild are weaker in net. No matter which team they face, they must keep playing like they have the last couple of games against the Blues except they need to stay out of the penalty box.
It's weird because I'm usually a very stats-based person. I know that the Hawks trounce them in possession stats in every way. But I can't shake the feeling that their speed and their goaltending will be give the Hawks all kinds of trouble.
I still think the Hawks will come out on top, but the Avs have been the team I've most wanted to avoid all year.

Varlomov has been a brick wall against us, that is my greatest concern. Hopefully it ends up like Quick last year and we solve him. Of course the Wild coming back and winning the series is a better option.

Very simple. Beat the Avs and you're going back to the SCF. The Kings, Sharks and Ducks can't beat the Hawks in a best of 7. The Avs were the biggest challenge for the Hawks in the West heading into these playoffs.
That said, no reason they can't beat them. Think about it logically. The Hawks outshot and outchanced the Avs in every single game they played vs them this season. I'm not 100% sure on this one but they might of even had at least 40 shots in every game vs them.
They can skate with the Hawks so every mistake they make vs these guys they tend to capitalize on. But at the end of the day, it was Varlamov who won most of the games for them. Don't see that holding up in a Best of 7 with everything on the line.
Hawks in 6 over the Avs.
Hawks in 5 over the Wild.

I really think the series against the Blues in the first round was a blessing in disguise. You can totally tell this team is amped up right now. They unleashed the swagger in that third period.
Why should we as fans be afraid of any team? The Hawks are the champs; they should be afraid of us.
