The Second Season Begins

Ending on a sour note, losing to Detroit, but high hopes for the playoffs:

• The Blackhawks will open up the 2010 Stanley Cup playoffs against the Predators on Friday night at the United Center.

  The NHL released the schedule for the first round and the Hawks will also host the Predators on Sunday night. Games 3 and 4 will be in Nashville on April 20 and April 22.

They missed the Conference Title by a single point, but it was a great run.

Good luck!
