Game 1

Chicago Blackhawks
VS.

Calgary Flames

Well, friends and neighbors, this is it. This is what we've been waiting for. The Hawks are back in the play offs and have a young, skilled team with an edge of toughness. Not a bunch of thugs, but tough enough. I think. I hope.

Tonight is Game One of a best of seven series. We start in Chicago, as the Flames season began to tank a little and they lost the division lead to Vancouver; meanwhile, the Hawks reamed Detroitsucks (twice!) and ended the regular season on a strong note.

I'm thinking that once the initial jitters are over, they will fall into their pace and play a good game. Maybe Havlat or Ladd will score in the first 23 seconds... [/predict]

LET'S GO HAWKS!!!!!!!!
