Talkin’ Hockey

For the first time since 1995 the Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks will meet in the NHL’s Stanley Cup Playoffs. That year saw the Red Wings advance easily beating the Blackhawks 4-1 to advance. This season the young Blackhawks will look to continue their impressive run which has excited their fan base and caused a large increase in Chicago Blackhawks hats & merchandise sales. Red Wings clothing & apparel is always a top-seller, outpacing most every other NFL franchise in apparel sales, and their Stanley Cup Playoff success boosts these sales each season.

So who will win the NHL’s Western Conference Finals in 2009? The Red Wings seem to be the favorite due to experience, but the young Blackhawks have a lot of fire and may just pull the upset.
