The Chicago Blackhawks have built a tradition of excellence over the past seven years, winning two Stanley Cup titles and contending almost every spring with a dynamic roster of proven stars. The Anaheim Ducks want everything that the Blackhawks already have, and they finally get a chance to take it in the Western Conference finals. ''You can't give anyone too much respect,'' said Anaheim forward Matt Beleskey, who has scored a goal in five straight playoff games. ''They're an obviously great team, but we're here for a reason, and now it's time to come out here and prove it.'' When the Blackhawks visit the Ducks for Sunday's opener, two high-powered teams with contrasting strengths begin a compelling clash.
