Second, Chicago has awesome top end players, and then a bunch of spare parts. That might get then out of the first round, but no further. Third, there is no comparison in goal; Phoenix has a huge edge. And finally, when the author says: "While the Coyotes fans will try hard with their whiteout, you can probably expect what we've seen the past two years. That is huge blotches of red in the sea of white that are the invading Hawks fans", he is referring to the Wings fans in the last two years. Hawks have had a national presence for 4 years now. While they have a fair number of band wagon jumpers, there is no guarantee that their fans will fill the seats like the Wings fans have. All in all, I think that their top end players will get the job done, but I think it will take 7 games.
