Well folks welcome back to the most exciting time of the year, the TFHL playoffs! The Blackhawks are in the show yet again since their expansion season TFHL 12 when they went to the cup finals and took the Hurricanes to 7 games only to lose a hearbreaking close series.
Many fans in the Chicago area however feel this year may be different. Hey let's face it, this team doesn't have much time. With no draft picks, TC points or many young prospects coming up in the system, for the Hawks the time is now.
Coach Brian Sutter was finally reached for comment after hours of team meetings and the usual playoff preparations. "This first series is gonna be a close one. We went undefeated against the Pain this season going 2-0-1 and we only allowed 3 goals in those 3 games against their formidable offense. We just gotta keep doing the little things right and take it to them night after night. Their is no reason why we can't compete with the best teams in this league even if they are the reining champions. We have the experience in every position and when Khabby shows up to play he is one of the hardest goalies to break on any given night."
After hours of press confrences the Blackhawks players all looked primed and ready to go. They face off in game 1 tonight and by looks on their faces they won't dissapoint. It's going to be close, it's going to be tough, but thats Blackhawk hockey and what better time of year to show the world what you're made of.
