Hawks Prediction

All the experts seem to think that this playoff series will be a hard and long fought battle between the hawks and the predators. The hawks took the season series 4-2 but the teams havent played since december so im not sure how much you can tell from that. The predators are a veteran team that plays great defense and doesnt score much. They seem to play the ultimate team game and get the most out of their players but dont really have a whole lot of individual talent. This can be seen in the fact that their special teams, penalty kill and power play, ranks them atleast 24 in the league or below. So, they are a good team when they can play with all their parts. I see the hawks speed and skill causing them problems and getting them to commit penalties and if the hawks can capitalize, it will be a quick series. I hate to say it but i think the hawks know they can turn it on when they want and they will similar to their performances in the olympics. Expect to see the puck in Kane's hands more and i think Kane, Toews, and Brower will be back on the same line before the end of the series.
