The Hawks are as playoff proven as they come... BUT with playing so many post-season games the past 4 seasons, I expect they'll feel the fatigue in the finals. Think about it, like 60 post-season games for them since 11-12, and they'll be coming into the finals after a 7 game series with only 1 day of rest? Have to think they'll be tired.
Bottom 6, we're a legit 3C away from tearing the league a new ass. Particularly when you consider Koekkoek in the wings to bump Carle eventually and move bigger in successive years.
Maybe Vlady can bust his ass this off season.
How do you all see lines next season?
Triplets
Drouin-Stamkos-Callahan
Namestnikov-Filppula-Killorn
Boyle-Brown-JAM?
Hedman/Stralman
Garrison-Coburn
Carle/Nesty-Sustr
Maybe KK will be ready

Need goals from both the bottom 6 and d. Chicago will almost certainly get goals from theirs.
My concern is if the Ducks defense couldn't stop the Hawks then how are we? Someone please give me something positive to help ease this concern.
Series starts on Wednesday. They'll get plenty of rest.
