Blackhawks renew rivalry in conference championship

The Chicago Blackhawks have made it past the first two rounds of the playoffs and are set to go for the conference finals. Blackhawk fans were excited to hear their opponents in the thrid round would be the Hawks' long-time rivals: the Detroit Red Wings.

The series squares off on Sunday in Detroit, Michigan and it is no doubt going to be a very exciting series. Hawks vs. Wings has proven to be a very even matchup when they played in January at Wrigley Field. This is the most exciting series in the NHL in a long time. The Hawks have been hot lately, playing a lot better vs. Vancouver in the last two games than they had the rest of the playoffs.

Tomorrow's game is being broadcasted nationally on NBC (Ch. 5 in Chicago) and is on the radio at Chicago's 720 WGN (broadcasts throughout much of the US and Canada.

After Sunday the series has a game in Detroit on Monday, two games in Chicago, then a game in Detroit and one in Chicago (last three games are if necessary). Go Hawks!
