ok, guess i'll try to make a case...
- well they have a bye in the 1st round
- ^ gives Seguin time to fully recover
- maybe Blues/Hawks beat the **** out of each other (seems likely)
- think Spezza had a hattrick in the last game of the season, maybe he recaptures old form
- Kris Russell blocks shots so that the lolFins behind don't have to
- Nichushkin explodes as an x-factor
- veteran leadership of Sharp & Oduya makes the difference
- they won their last 3 games against Chicago, outscoring them 15-6
- also won their last game against LA
seems possible but unlikely
a 2nd round series against Chicago would be a lot of fun, so hopefully it happens
