Chicago eliminates Nashville.

Blackhawks take out the Predators in six games. The Hawks now face the Canucks in the Western Conference semi-finals.

"Whenever you can win a playoff series, especially against a team like Nashville, it feels good. I don't know who said it was going to be an easy series or we were going to get upset. It was two teams that played hard going back to the regular season. It was a very tough series. I give them a lot of credit. It could have really gone either way."
