I go along with this tweet from media colleague Dan Rosen, a senior writer with NHL.com, who summarized the Chicago Blackhawks thusly Saturday night:
When the Blackhawks want to be the best they are the best.

Yep. When Chicago's best players are motivated enough, they are the best one-five group in the league. Jonathan Toews, Marian Hossa, Patrick Kane, Brent Seabrook and Duncan Keith are the best top five, and we haven't mentioned others such as Patrick Sharp and Brandon Saad yet.
Two Stanley Cups since 2010, two other Western Conference Final appearances since 2009.
