Chicago Blackhawks
Seed: 1 • 36-7-5 • 77 Pts.
Detroit Red Wings
Seed: 7 • 24-16-8 • 56 Pts.

The Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks have had one of the best rivalries in the NHL, dating nearly to the dawn of the League. They'll get to renew that rivalry one more time in the Western Conference Semifinals.

The last time the teams met in the postseason was the 2009 Western Conference Finals, which the Red Wings won in five games. That Red Wings group was the defending Stanley Cup champion, while the Blackhawks were growing into the team that would win the Stanley Cup a year later.

This time, it's the Blackhawks who are the favorites, and the Red Wings are seen as the plucky underdogs.

This will be the 16th time the teams have met in the postseason, and with realignment next season moving Detroit to the Eastern Conference, it could be their last matchup for a while.

Two comments about the picture:

1) Freaking NHL 13 graphic glitches. Just look at Datsyuk's stick blade...
2) Toews totally reminds me of Grumpy Cat


This should be an exciting series. Very much looking forward to it. :)

As far as I'm concerned the season is already a success... but let's give em hell. Maybe they'll understimate us.

Chicago in 5 is what I realistically think, but there is always hope...

So LETS GO RED WINGS!
