Here come the Hawks!

The defending Stanley Cup champion Blackhawks beat Carolina 5-2 last night for their seventh consecutive victory.

The Hawks ratcheted it up a notch in the third period, the stanza where they've had trouble all season, blowing open a close game.

The Hawks are finding themselves at precisely the right time- not only to make a run at a good seed in the playoffs, but to make it two in a row.

A fifth Stanley Cup banner would look awfully good in the rafters at the UC.

ONE GOAL!
