Obligatory Hockey Post
I didn't want the Vancouver/Chicago series to end, and I certainly didn't want it to end the way it did, with the sole Canadian team eliminated from the playoffs. This was my favorite series, and I can't imagine another match-up being nearly as fun to watch. I enjoyed the end-to-end action, and thought both teams were appropriately scrappy. Although I'm sorry to see Vancouver eliminated, I've always had a soft spot in my heart for Chicago (both the city, and their beleaguered Blackhawks). I'm looking forward to what they can accomplish in the next round.
I have to agree about Chicago. It's been a long time since they had a team worth cheering for so you feel good for them to advance in the playoffs.
