from Chris Kuc of hte Chicago Tribune,
“The biggest thing is knowing in the first four games we’ve yet to play a good game,” forward Adam Burish said. “If we win a game here, things can turn. The fact it’s an elimination game and that there’s no more pressure because nobody’s giving us a chance anymore, that may give us a little bit of a lift.
“Everybody’s aware they’ve kind of written us off. You saw the way [the Wings] skated around during the end of [Game 4], kind of laughing at us and joking around. You saw the fans leaving early. It’s like, here’s a chance for us to prove some people wrong and try to climb back into this.”
more on the Blackhawks…

the Wings have a tendency to do this to teams. it’s not that the Blackhawks failed in playing a good game, it’s that the Wings succeeded in not letting them.

That usually happens when the other team is alot better than you are….I thought the Hawks played ok in Games 1 and 2, however. They deserved to lose Game 3

I thought the Blackhawks played pretty well in the first two games, actually.
Maybe, if a team looks back on a stretch of four games and don’t think they played well in any of them, there is a reason for it - and sometimes the reason is “you aren’t as good as the other team.”
