Chicago making the playoffs is no surprise as we have been one of the most consistent teams for quite a while now (even though we always hear about how we're getting older and will slow down eventually), but age doesn't seem to affect us yet. For the S72 season we came out of the gate guns a blazing by being one of the top teams in all of the SHL, I definitely did not expect that since we're about middle of the pack in terms of overall team TPE. For the playoffs, we have a formidable matchup in the Texas   . We faced them 7 times with them beating us 4 times out of the 7 games. Texas has massively taken a step up this season so I foresee this series going the distance (as most of our 1st round series goes). For these playoffs, I will be tasked on helping shut down Texas' offensive threats and being a work horse by logging heavy minutes. I might even play a little dirty and go after Hodor and Chris Valentine on Texas since we have some beef off the ice. 

This should be a must watch series.
