Here we go.

Get ready for MORE talk about the inexperience of the Blackhawks. Get ready for predictions of a sweep, or the Wings completely handling the Blackhawks with great ease. This is going to be an epic Western Conference Finals. It will be fun to watch. The problem with predictions about what is going to happen… is the obvious. No one knows. Will the Hawks rise to the occasion? Will there be bad giveaways by one team’s defense that leads to a crushing last second goal? Unless you can see the future, in which case tell me, you don’t know. It may because I’m a homer, but I think at the very least the Blackhawks will make it interesting. Do I hope they win? Absolutely. Am I going to say “Hawks in 6 GUARANTEED!”? No. This is why I hate Red Wings fans. They’re already so certain they’re on their way to the Cup. I hope we stop them here.
