Wild outplayed us it felt like.

The Blackhawks consistently get out-shot. Crawford is amazing.

I was saying to my dad this exact same thing.

 

[ZJohnson]

The BHawks played an awful game and won by three...they look unstoppable right now.

Awful is a stretch. They had 5 days off and I expected a down game.

The Ducks series should be interesting. Ducks played a young and salty Stars team in a physical series. They were able to overcome and beat the Stars, but a lot of the Kings have their name on the cup.

Should be a hum dinger

If Quick plays like he did the last 4-5 games of the Shark series this will be a very entertaining series.

Hopefully a lot of this today:

Feels good to be up 2-0, rather than down 0-2, but I'm sure the Blackhawks realize the Blues were in the position they're now in, and how that ended.

Keep the pedal on the floor.

Yep, going to be tough games in Minnesota.

Yeah, and the Wild were down 0-2 in the Avs series as well.

Exactly.

I expect Chicago to win the series, but the next 2-5 games will be extremely tough.

 

[LindenCy]

I see the Hawks in 5. Minnesota has been on a great run to end the season and the first round, but I don't see the Hawks losing 3 of the next 5 games and definitely not 4/5. It could happen, but I just don't see it right now. All the credit to the Wild, though, they have been tough.

 

[DesertClone1]

I think Wild even it up at home. We're damn good at home!
Parise and Pommer are killing it right now.

 

[CyArob]

Wild are the better team. That was dominant tonight.

 

[CycloneNorth]

Unbeatable at home. Just have to pick one up on the road.

 

[chuckd4735]

Wild are the better team. That was dominant tonight.

Wild are the better team in Minnesota, Chicago is the better team in Chicago. I still be surprised if the Blackhawks dont win this series.

Blackhawks looked pathetic last night. It was hard to watch. Really hope to see the Blackhawks come out with a lot of energy back at home and take control of the series. The injury to Shaw is really showing, and Q is dicking with the lines too much.

Chicago has been getting out-shot in just about every game, but there was a point last night where they were nearly doubled up on shots. Chicago's shots on goal this series have been down, and the Hawks benefited from some bad goaltending by Bryzgalov in the games in Chicago. Blackhawks need to figure out how to get about 25-30 shots per game on Bryzgalov the rest of these series and get into his head, because he has looked like a steel curtain the last 2 games.

Anyone know what channel the game is on tonight in ames? (Directv)

Well, I was wrong and the Wild continue their tough play. I hope the Hawks pull it out.

Awesome direct tv goes out with 5 minutes left.
