Hawks-Cunucks. Nasty, gritty, and beautiful.

What happened the last time the Blackhawks and the Canucks met each other on the ice?



That's what happened.

This series has the potential to go down as an all-time classic. And if Chicago can pull off the upset (and yes, it will be an upset if they win), it may be looked back on as this year's defining seedling of a dynasty.

Check out Scott Burnside's preview over at ESPN.

It's a series that will feature explosive offenses and shut-down defenses, physical play, two of the best goalies in the NHL in Roberto Luongo and Nikoli Khabibulin, and a trip to the Western Conference Finals as the prize.

A seven game series is not out of the question, and overtime heroics could very easily make an appearance.

It's the kind of stuff that makes playoff hockey, playoff hockey.

  1. Tough loss last night, it's not going to be easy to win at Vancouver that's for sure. They're playing great though
