I am slowly beginning to see the light. Blackhawks in 4, possibly 5 if the Bolts can get their act together. I've been reading articles, see, and they all point to the fact that beyond any reasonable doubt, the Blackhawks are going to walk away with the award this year. They've got experience and statistics on their side.

This takes a lot of pressure off me! I'll head into each SCF game expecting to lose, and anything cool the Bolts do will simply be awesomely fun to watch on their way to losing. The article after article in the Blackhawks favor might convince most teams to simply not show up -- but I am glad that this team is stubborn enough to come to work anyway.

I'm proud of the Bolts for getting this far. As of this posting time, it's 36 hours to puck drop.
