Ladies and gentlemen, the Chicago Blackhawks are the defending Stanley Cup Champions. Ladies and gentlemen, the Chicago Blackhawks are beyond lucky to have a chance to defend that Stanley Cup championship during the 2011 playoffs. Players on the Minnesota Wild will be getting extra Christmas cards this year from fans in the Windy City, because, without a Wild win against the Dallas Stars on the final game of the season, the Blackhawks would not have received an invite to the post-season. What will become of that invitation?

Home Games Played At: United Center

Key Players: Patrick Sharp, Patrick Kane, Jonathan Toews, Marian Hossa, Corey Crawford

How They Fared in 2010: Won the 2010 Stanley Cup

Chicago Blackhawks Playoff Prediction For 2011: The Chicago Blackhawks ended a 49 year drought by capturing the NHL Stanley Cup in 2010. They almost began a new drought before the 2011 playoffs even started. It took Chicago a full 82 games to qualify for the 2011 post-season, and while they have lost players like Dustin Byfuglien and Antti Niemi, much of their roster remains intact to defend their crown. The Blackhawks now hold the 8th seed, and will face an uphill battle against the Presidents Trophy winning Vancouver Canucks in the opening round of the playoffs. Loaded with talent, and having beaten the Canucks two playoffs in a row, the Hawks are surely optimistic they can pull off the upset. We, on the other hand, do not agree. If the Chicago Blackhawks truly had what it takes to win, they wouldn’t have struggled all season. Corey Crawford is not the answer in goal, it will be one and done for Chicago in the 2011 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
