You can blame it on the plan AV took or you could blame it on Mitchell playing the puck to the boards instead of down the middle which was wide open. One mistake and Chicago jumped on it, kudos to them for capitalizing. Swept by Detroit? This is playoff hockey, anything can happen. Our team was built to handle teams like Detroit, SJ, Calgary etc, just shows how much faith you really do have in this team though.

Uuuuh no. The Hawks weren't demoralized considering how the team just let the Hawks walk into our zone so that everyone can play cheat defensively and play positioning hockey. It was a matter of time and AV gambled they would run out.
But who the fuck would gamble like that on a ultra-offense team like CHI with Kane, Toews, Sharp, Versteeg, Seabrook & Havlat to name a few.
