Game Thread: Chicago Blackhawks(2) vs. Minnesota Wild(WC 1) | Round 2

[Cobiemonster]

Wild play well in this second period and then give up the late goal

2-0 Blackhawks after two periods

D@mn: And Minny looked so much better in the 2nd. You get the feeling that all they're lacking is a bit of luck in Chi's crease.

In the second period for sure they lacked a bit of luck but if they got off to a better start they might not be in this position - like last game they got off to a slow start - have to start off better

Chicago isn't playing particularly well...if this team gets going though, watch out. It's showed up in flashes this series, but need to be more consistent.

Damn Boston fans and their weightist tweets...

I hear that in this guy's voice.

Cody McCormick! 2-1 game!

 

[IndyAndy]

McCormick!!

There's some luck: Maybe now the floodgates will open.

 

[IndyAndy]

Oh, boy: That's likely the dagger right there.

Better luck in St. Paul, boys.

 

[Cobiemonster]

That was a terrible effort by Zach Parise defensively

IMO Wild are just out matched. The Hawks just have more talent. I hope they can win a few and extend the series though.

You're probably right about them being out matched but I think the Wild beat theirselves in the first two games - Jonas Brodin took two bad penalties in game 1 and it led to goals and they came back to tie it in the 3rd and then today it was 2-1 and Zach Parise had a bad defensive play that cost them a goal, they've had plenty of chances - the key is to get off to a better start, can't get just two shots on goal after one period and be down 2-0 in games - they can still come back and win two in Minny if they play anywhere close as good at home in this series as they did against the Avs

I hope so too but I agree Chicago is really good. We kicked off the last series 0-2 so lets hope we can get the same results.

IMO the goaltending will kill us this series. All Chicago has to do is get the puck on net up high and it goes in 95% of the time on Breezy. He just can't handle the high shots. Mouslon and poms disaapearing doesn't help either. We'll see what happens at home tonight
