Hawks have been near automatic when closing out series.
- In Coach Q's tenure, Blackhawks are 42-14 in Games 4, 5, 6, and 7.
- Since 2010, this team is 13-4 in potential clinching games.
- Since 2009, the Hawks are 9-0 in Game 6s.
Let's hope the trend continues...

That was a hell of a series, Chicago is just too deep and too good. They definitely are the best team in the league right now. Congrats Yummy!

Very, very good game with lots of chances either way...hats off to the Bolts for bringing everything they had until Kane made it 2-0.
I think Tampa will be a regular contender for awhile if they can learn and add to this experience. And kudos to Bishop with playing through with a torn groin...
But, what can I say about Toews et al...as a Chicago sports fan, we are spoiled. Hawks will need to re-tool but maybe they'll be back soon. Keith with 700+ minutes...holy crap.

In Game 5, they adjusted to the Bolts' forecheck...the D-men were dropping back deeper and the forwards were coming back farther...it made the Bolts think twice because if they committed, and the Hawks connected on a break-out pass, well, off they went on a 2-on-1...
On the 2-0 goal, that was what happened. And in Game 5, the same strategy led to a number of odd-man breaks the other way.

Game 4, well...it was kind of a goalie win...Hawks did not play great in Game 4, IMO but buried their chances.

Okay, um...there's that "theory" too.
Ask the soap-dropper who's drinking with the hot bishes what he thinks.

Meh
Pardon me for not watching any of this series but I just realized that The Great Finn, Kimo Timonen only played 3 games and never played more than 5:46?
And they give him the cup 2nd......
He's a great guy that Jonathan Toews and a great captain and leader. He 's kind enough to make the FinLandians feel like they had something to do with the Cup and helped him win something other than a Bronze medal at the World's. Good for him.
