Blackhawks in the Playoffs

For the first time in 7 years:

• Nikolai Khabibulin made 25 saves, and Jonathan Toews scored his team-leading 32nd goal as the Chicago Blackhawks clinched their first playoff berth in seven years by beating the Nashville Predators on Friday night.
  
  Samuel Pahlsson scored in the first period and Martin Havlat added an empty-net goal for the Blackhawks, who qualified for the postseason for only the second time in 11 seasons.

Rocky Wirtz is making all sorts of moves his old man would never have made and is really making Chicago a hockey town again. Congratulations.

Oh, and the Bears got some quarterback the other day.
