Not such good news from Vancouver

My Blackhawks are getting their lunch handed to them in Vancouver tonight- the opening game of the second round.

I sort of expected this. As good as the Hawks are, they're young- and they have years and years to win the Cup. I'd be very surprised if they get past the Canucks. Generally it takes some experience to get very deep into the playoffs- and frankly, I think they can use some size.

But I'm very proud of my team- win, lose or draw. They'll be a force to be reckoned with in the NHL for at least a decade.

ADDENDUM: Well, they did come back from a 3-0 deficit to tie it- and then lost 5-3 on a blunder and an empty-netter.
