I couldn't really come up with anything creative. I searched Blackhawks on google and I came across a Homer Simpson version so I made that. I have made one for almost any opponent.
I normally don't make predictions but here it goes.
5-2 Chicago
Stalberg w/ 2.
Most people want to blame Mason or give up hope because he is starting but it doesn't matter who is in goal.
The CBJ team defense stinks and we can't buy a goal but we'll get a couple of lucky ones just because Chicago's biggest weakness is inconsistant goaltending.
As long as they come out, skate hard, and play the defense that was advertised as being our strong point all off season, I'll be satisfied. Just look like you care dudes.
Even as a Hawks fan I've always had a soft spot for Columbus (since I'm an Ohio State graduate) Is the D really that bad? I loved Wisniewski when he was with us. He just wanted too much money. Jack Johnson is a stud and I thought FedorTyutin and Nikita Nikitin were pretty solid. I can understand the offense taking some time to come around but that defense looks pretty darn good to me, at least the top 4.

The problem is we have no offense, so the defense is under duress the entire game.
I have to miss the game tonight to play a gig. I guess I'll have to settle for playing some good music, making some money, and having a couple of drinks instead of watching the Hawks destroy the CBJ 6-0.
Here's an interesting stat, our top 4 (Hossa, Kane, Sharp, Toews) have a combined 23 points. The top 4 for Columbus, at least as far as ice time goes (Umberger, Dubinsky, Anisimov, Propel) have a combined 4 points.
