THE SETUP
It's all one-and-done from here, and next up are the sorry Blackhawks, who've won once in their past dozen games, including a 4-2 loss to the Wild last night in Chicago. The excuses have all gone poof. Including that the Islanders and Panthers might win out, I should add.
There'll be a skate for the Penguins at 10:30 a.m. Danny Shirey has that duty, and I'll arrive for faceoff after the HQ/shop closes.
