re the hawks will return to the finals in article qk k itg uxa ecn bgu edu cubrj uxa ecn bgu edu brian johnson writes well now that the hawks have won the division the road is a little easier for the playoffs let toronto and detroit beat the hell out of each other while chicago sweeps st louis that just makes it easier in the second round with all the rest they will get and tor det getting none for the conf champ they will have a hard time versus the division but that div will be pretty battered also so the advantage goes to the hawks again then bring pitt and sure the hawks will probably lose but its better to get that far and lose than to not go brian hopefully a miracle o k not quite a miracle but close will occur and pittsburgh will be elminated prior to the finals if they make it again they will probably keep the cup if they don t it s the hawks turn go blackhawks congrats to jeremy roenick for being only the nd hawks player to post back to back goal seasons scott
