Phoenix Coyotes and Chicago Blackhawks

The number three seed and number six begin the long skate to the Stanley Cup final in Phoenix (yes you read that right).

From this page, we will track the developments in the Coyotes and Blackhawks series, a competition that offers up a franchise that may or may not call Arizona home by the time June rolls around going up against one of the NHL's iconic original six franchises.  We imagine they won't say anything publicly, but over at the NHL head office we imagine the quicker the Hawks could send the Coyotes packing (perhaps literally) the better?
