I think he injured Edler with a hit

Did we move his ass from the front of the net once?

Nope.

Edit: I agree with Chicago most-likely taking out Dallas in the first round. If that's the case, getting that #1 spot in the West would be better. Nonetheless, I don't care all that much.

Yeah, I don't think Dallas would get by Chicago either, but it's not a slam dunk.

The Stars are 2-2 against the Hawks this year.

Pacific can be any of Dallas/SJ/Phx/LA. Talking a 3 point spread right now with about 10-12 games each left to play. Anyone's division there.

The Hawks have awful goaltending, shallow defensive depth, poor forward depth, and are subsequently a terrible 5 on 5 team. I think the Canucks would push them around physically like they did to start the series last year -- only this time there'd be no "Hawks are in the Canucks head" narrative to take them off track.

I think a 2nd round match-up with the Hawks would be awesome.

The #1 seed is way better then 2... it looks like SJ will get 7 if Dallas continues to hold #3 and they are a big team that can wear you down and could even upset.

And Dallas has a neg goal diff while Chicago has a positive one and I think the hawks will beat them if I was a betting
