Blowing away the Windy city

Wouldn't that be nice? Go into the United Center and just blow the Hawks away, leaving them with a sour taste in their mouth when they come visit on Saturday?

Hey, crazier things have happened, but the fact remains that Chicago is damn good and the CBJ have their hands full tonight.

That doesn't mean it can't be done though. Our last game against them was a nailbiter and a heartbreaker. The game brought out the best in our team though, and set a standard for how well we can play. Despite the loss to St. Louis I still believe this team can play like they did that night in Chicago; the same way they played that night in Calgary; the same way this team was built and taught to play.

As much as I would love for our team to be on a roll like that of Chicago I'm a firm believer in working for what you get. Let's face it; the CBJ are a blue collar team who can't expect anything to be handed to them without a paying a price for it.

That's fine with me. It keeps the boys level headed and more focused. We don't have the highlight talent like Chicago, but that doesn't mean we don't have talent. We don't have triple the wins that we do losses, but that doesn't mean we can't win. It only means the boys have to be work horses out there tonight and give a grinding effort full of grit and passion.

They can do it. They can win.

GO JACKETS! CARRY THE FLAG! I BELIEVE!
