Whats that we see in the rear view mirror? It looks like things have changed on the local hockey scene. The Wolves perennial playoff contenders with last nights road loss to the Quad City Flames seem to be looking at their playoff chances quickly fading away.
Meanwhile back at the United Center the Blackhawks with last nights win over the Nashville Preditors have clinched their first playoff bid in a donkeys age. Things have changed, who woudda thunk a year ago with the Hawks still struggling and the Wolves driving their way to the Calder that this would be the picture in 12 months. One thing for certain hockey never lets a fan down for drama, we have a great playoff series before us both in the AHL and the NHL. With Milwaukee, Peoria and Rockford involved on the AHL side it might as well be local for minor league fans, those games will all be less than two hours away, sweet. Rumor has it Hawks playoff tickets sold out in under 10 minutes so the rest of us will have to be happy with television coverage. Still, Hawks in the playoffs, after such a long time, just the sound of it is lovely.
The Worm has Turned, Hawks in Playoffs!!!!
