I think the hawks are a great team the last 7 years. I have tons of respect for Stan and Joel. They have done an incredible job in the salary cap era. Unfortunately sometimes great teams go down.
The blues are a determined squad. They are focused and ready to get the job done. Elliot is on a mission and it won't be easy but the blues know tonight is the night. If they give the hawks any life they will live to regret it.
I have watched the nhl playoffs since 1979. I'm telling you people take the blues tonight. The lack of production from the hawks top guys isn't something that will be corrected tonight. It's the blues just being better. Hitchcock has choked with this team many times but this year he caught the hawks and he isn't going to let them off the mat.
Blues ml is the play.
