Who really thought the Blackhawks were going to get past the Oilers in the qualifying round? I always have the faith, more heart than head most times. In reality, the Blackhawks did not deserve to be in the “playoffs” whatever format this is. They were not a playoff caliber team. Yet, none of that matters now, does it? The Blackhawks were given that second chance; they took advantage of it. By defeating the Oilers, in 4 games no less, these Hawks have earned their stripes. Now, they do deserve to be here. What is our prize? A match up with the Las Vegas Golden Knights.
The Hawks are 1-7 all time against the Knights; can I call them Knights for short? I don’t feel like typing that “golden” part every time. Yep, I remember our one victory; it was earlier this year. We finally got off the schneid. Now, we must beat them 4 more times over the next 7 games. So I was saying we deserved to be here now… well, it’s really show and prove time now. Good luck to us.
And when the puck will drop today, we will be facing our old friend in goal. Yes, it’s a Crawford Lehner destiny type match up in the net. The series will be decided by a lot more than these 2 guys, but we all know how important it is to have a top notch goalie come playoff time. Niemi says No helped lead us to the promised land the first time, just over 10 years ago. And oh yeah, who was in goal for the next 2 Cups? That’s right, Corey Crawford. How many cups does Lehner have? OK, maybe that’s not fair. But, experience counts right? OK, let’s rephrase it: how many playoff wins does he have? Robin has played in 10 playoff games; he’s got credit for 4 wins. Corey? 87 games, 48 wins. 5,509 minutes in goal to 498… if only that guaranteed victory.

I wanted the Hawks to keep him, hoping he would take over for Crawford starting next year. It didn’t happen, and now he’ll be standing in our way of advancing in the Stanley Cup playoffs; funny how that works. But Crow… underappreciated much? Yes, like I’ve said, I’ve had my issues with him over the years… the games missed, the easy goals given up, the frustrating plays. Yet for all those negatives, there are many more positives. Standing on his head carrying us to a victory, the “10 bell” saves, the Cups… ahem, THE CUPS!!! Yeah, Corey is OK with me. Already one of the best Blackhawks goalies ever, imagine for a second, if he takes his game to another level, again, and helps lead the Blackhawks to another Cup… just imagine.
OK, now open your eyes; stop dreaming… I tend to fantasize about these types of things a lot too, but that’s OK; never give up your dreams, right? Well, for those reality bites people, we’ll find out starting in about 6 hours. Hawks vs Knights. Crawford vs Lehner. Who you got?
