If - and this is just a question, not trying to look ahead - IF the Hawks get past the Blues:

If then the Avs beat the Wild, the Avs would have home-ice advantage.

But if the a Wild were to great the Avs, would Minnie or Chicago have home-ice advantage in the second round?

- StLBravesFan

Team with more regular season points always gets home ice. Wild cards never get home ice anytime, just like the NFL.

If the Hawks make it to the 3rd round, home ice to Hawks only if they play LAK.

True, but it's fun to read some of the rationale...for a while anyway.


- HawkintheDWe could talk "What's your favorite season of American Idol?"

Any predictions for the Hawks vs Blues series? Was looking at the schedule; Saturday is a matinee.


Hawks over the Blues in 6 games.

That's my thought as well.

Though I'm waiting for TC's reverse mojo prediction to hopefully make us both right. Can't remember if he ever predicted the whole series or just went game by game.

5 tops, but I really think we're looking to break out the brooms.

But I don't think that would be true in the NBA - they don't re-seed each round.

I don't know about the NHL.

- StLBravesFan


They don't re-seed but the team with the better record gets home ice.

Mashinter, sounds like something that happens during Passover.

There's been a lot of recent talk about the Hawks' third line. It seems to me the Stan has really phucked this up; that line could have been Mashinter-Pirri-Olesz. #domination.

Saw someone with an Olesz jersey last Friday at the Pigs game. Not the name/number T-shirt, not a replica jersey, but the full on authentic, $250+ Real deal Rusty Olesz jersey.

Would have made the Hawks too strong: Bettman would have found a way to bust that line up.

Yes - the forgotten fifth question: just - WHY?

Would they be able to advance a game by a day, or does this not really matter?

No, just means the ice might be better which benefits Chicago.

TV schedules are set.

Gives the infirm more time to - uhhhh - firm, but ultimately probably doesn't matter.

Hawks in six: W-L-W-W-L-W.

There was talk on this thread about the origins of this site. You have a 2005 joined date; what can you tell us about the joint back then?

They seem to do just fine on the ice at the UC, so I don't think it matters either way.

I think the blues take the first two games 5-2 but seriously, they betteer win this series. The hockey gods are smiling on the Hawks with all of these blues injuries. Even if they play game 1 they won't be anywhere near 100% they better take advantage of this gift. Hawks better not go in figuring it will be a sweep and not show up. It won't be easy. They still have to work hard and compete

I hear the Blues are all good to go, except Berglund. Maybe Miley will make a quick recovery....

Good question I thought JJ has a 2006 date. So was there another hawk blogger 1st or they didn't have one back then?

The Hawks have a maddening (from this point-of-view) habit of playing to the perceived level of competition. I could easily see a let-down by the Hawks if several of the Blues better players are out. I'd rather see lots of the real Blues...
