yeah it probably won't have anything to do with the Hawks playing a mediocre team who previously beat 1 good but struggling team(NJ) who backed into the playoffs and was offensively challenged anyway, and 2 even more woeful offensive teams from a vastly inferior conference.
* #2 New Jersey – 48-27-7, 103 points, (6th in NHL), but 17-17-6 over their last 40 games * #6 Boston – 39-30-13, 91 points, (15th in NHL) * #8 Montreal – 39-33-10, 88 points, (18th in NHL)
or the huge advantage the Hawks have in team speed...or that Philly is trotting out a goalie who was deemed inferior to Manny Legace, and not good enough to backup Cam Ward in Carolina.
