Wondering if the Hawks hoist the cup tonight....Thinking they will.

me too, survival of the fittest IMO, too many injuries which seem to just be piling up for the Bolts

I`m sure we`ll also hear about an off season surgery and/or major injury which Stamkos has played through. While not armed with a ton of experience, I`m not sure I`ve seen him play this way and it`s not due to any type of suffocating Hawks D, he just doesn`t look right

Good on the Hawks, can`t help but respect what they have accomplished over the last number of years

If they close this out, it gives them 3 Cups in 6 years. That's very impressive.

And with Toews, Kane and Keith locked up for years, they will keep contending as long as they have the correct supporting cast.

Almost feels like the Bolts need a miracle tonight, especially given their injuries. Here's Chicago's recent playoff history once they get to 3 wins:

2009: Round 1 - Up 3-2 in series, W 4-1 @Flames
2009: Round 2 - Up 3-2 in series, W 7-5 vs. Canucks
2010: Round 1 - Up 3-2 in series, W 5-3 @Predators
2010: Round 2 - Up 3-1 in series, L 4-1 vs. Canucks
2010: Round 2 - Up 3-2 in series, W 5-1 @Canucks
2010: Round 3 - Up 3-2 in series, W 4-2 vs. Sharks
2010: Round 4 - Up 3-2 in series, W 4-3 (OT) @Flyers
2011: Round 1 - Series tied 3-3, L 2-1 (OT) @Canucks
2013: Round 1 - Up 3-1 in series, W 5-1 vs. Wild
2013: Round 2 - Series tied 3-3, W 2-1 (OT) vs. Red Wings
2013: Round 3 - Up 3-1 in series, W 4-3 (2OT) vs. Kings
2013: Round 4 - Up 3-2 in series, W 3-2 vs. Bruins
2014: Round 1 - Up 3-2 in series, W 5-1 vs. Blues
2014: Round 2 - Up 3-2 in series, W 2-1 (OT) @Wild
2014: Round 3 - Series tied 3-3, L 5-4 (OT) vs. Kings
2015: Round 1 - Up 3-1 in series, L 5-2 @Predators
2015: Round 1 - Up 3-2 in series, W 4-3 vs. Predators
2015: Round 2 - Up 3-0 in series, W 4-3 @Wild
2015: Round 3 - Series tied 3-3, W 5-3 @Ducks

Not a perfect record, but still 15-4 (or 15-2-2) once they get to 3 wins.

Where they are perfect is when they're up 3-2 in a series:

10-0, averaging 4.3 goals per game.

That "killer instinct" is uncanny with this group of players.

It'll be nice to see Keith win the Conn Smythe. He has to be a lock (if Chicago wins one of the next 2, of course). I'd argue this should be his 3rd.

… Did they really pull out what looks like an American Indian feather flag? Is there someone from the Blackhawk tribe that has given their blessing to the team? I thought we weren't allowed to do this.

I'd rather see Mr. Wakey Wakey in tears Wednesday night.
