No more white flags. Ok, guys?

There doesn't seem to be much doubt in anybody's mind that the Blackhawks just didn't work hard enough or play with the necessary urgency and intensity last night. Only one team really showed up for the game, and it was Nashville.

The good news is that at least Jonathan Toews, the Hawks' captain, realizes it.

The Preds are a good hockey team, especially in goal and on defense. But the Hawks are a much better one. I said before the series that I thought Nashville would win two games. Well, they have. Now the Hawks have to make the talent differential decisive. Tomorrow night we should find out whether the Blackhawks are going deep into the playoffs, or right into the dumpster.

If they don't show up again tomorrow night, there will probably be no point in even tuning in Saturday afternoon.
