The United Center will be buzzing with playoff basketball and hockey action in the days to come. Both the Bulls and Blackhawks are heading to the postseason.
The Blackhawks get their playoff campaign underway tonight, ending a seven year postseason drought. The team is coming off a breakthrough regular season – finishing fourth in the conference standings. That means tonight’s playoff opener against the Calgary Flames will be at home. So will four out of the seven games, if the series goes that far.
The Chicago Bulls share the United Center with the Blackhawks, but they don’t have the luxury of home court advantage in their NBA playoff matchup. They’re facing the reigning champion Boston Celtics in round one. That seven game series gets underway in Boston on Saturday.
