Hawks Swept in Western Finals

(AP) Chicago Earlier this week the 'hawks lost the GLHL14 Western Conference Finals to the Minnesota Wild.
Yep, the brooms were out for the Wild fans as they totally annihilated and embarrassed the 'hawks in a 4 game sweep.
In being led by goalkeeper Roberto Luongo, the Wild took the Conference by identical scores of 5-2 in the first two games in Minnesota. The two games at the United Center in Chicago were won by the Wild with scores of 4-3 in OT for Gm3 and 3-2 in regulation in Gm4.
The Wild's power play was outstanding in the series while the 'hawks penalty killing units need to go back to the drawing board.
The Wild were 6 for 19 (31.6%) on the pp in the series while the 'hawks were a paltry 1 for 19 (5%). That gives the Wild a phenomenal penalty kill rate of 95% with the 'hawks posting an embarrassing 76% kill rate.
Special teams were obviously a key to the Wild's Western Conference title.
Yep, Jagr was basically a non-factor in another playoff series this year for the 'hawks.
While Jagr did light the lamp twice in Gm3 of the Conference Finals, it was too little, too late for the 'hawks Championship hopes.
Of course, without him, the 'hawks don't get to the playoffs and the finals.
Windy City Ramblings
The GLHL14 Championship Series will pit the Minnesota Wild against the Eastern Conference Champion New York Islanders. Yep, the same Isles who Lord Byron Dafoe was traded to by the 'hawks earlier this season. Now Dafoe leads the Isles to the Championship Series! Chicago's management is getting some grief over that one. Deservedly so.
The Wild are gunning for their second consecutive GLHL Cup!
