There was no hoopla or grand celebration Sunday at the United Center after the Chicago Blackhawks swept away the San Jose Sharks in the Western Conference finals to advance to the Stanley Cup final for the first time since 1992.

The Blackhawks aren't thinking any further than Game 4 of the Western Conference final against San Jose on Sunday afternoon at the United Center.

Not to the Stanley Cup final, or to what might happen this summer when serious salary-cap problems threaten to break up this dynamic team.

The San Jose Sharks paid a huge price for forgetting about Dustin Byfuglien in overtime Friday night.

The Blackhawks are just 3-3 at the United Center during the playoffs and poor starts is a big reason why.

The Chicago Blackhawks are taking nothing for granted, even though they lead the Western Conference final with the San Jose Sharks 2-0 and the entire Windy City has Stanley Cup fever.
