| Blackhawks Go for West Finals Clincher vs. Sharks |
CHICAGO (AP) -- Jonathan Toews has earned the name "Captain Serious," a 22-year-old star for the Chicago Blackhawks who senses how close his team is to reaching the Stanley Cup finals while realizing just how difficult it can be to get there.
A year ago, the Blackhawks were knocked out of the Western Conference finals in five games by Detroit, an experience that ripened a young team.
Now the Blackhawks have a 3-0 lead over San Jose and can complete a sweep Sunday for the franchise's first appearance in the finals since 1992 -- when Toews was 4 years old.
