Even game till the third then the wheels came off for the Hawks. Wild are one of the better 3rd period teams and scoring 4 goals just shows that the games are not over till they are over... Wild back in this thing with a 4-0 win tonight. Still some more hockey to watch    Little scary there with the Hawks guy taking a puck to the back of the head and Sutter with the bad fall.

I think Cooke returns tonight for the Wild, along with Stoner they are going to be laying some hurt on the speedy Hawks wings slowing them down and making them look over their shoulders. I would sure like to see another Wild win and get this down to a three game series...

Settle yourself down there shortstack before you stain yourself. I predict the hawks will come out fast and furious. They will score the first goal in the 1st period.

Well Lee they didn't score the first goal of the first period but they did score the last goal of the period, after that MN out scored them 3-1  A couple of soft goals and couple of good saves a couple of out standing saves and the Wild even up the series and go back to Chicago all tied up at two games apiece.

Best of three now and Chicago is not looking so unbeatable anymore...   

[Lee Borgersen]

The only reason the hawks hadn't won was because I fell asleep in the 3rd period

MINNESOTA 4, CHICAGO 2

Series: Tied 2-2.

Key stat: Chicago had a playoff-low 20 shots on goal.

Key player: LW Matt Cooke, Minnesota. Cooke had an assist on the opening goal, and his return to the lineup gave the Wild a physical presence and an edge. He dished out a game-high five hits and blocked a game-high three shots.

What we learned: The Wild are indeed improved over last season. Until Game 4, the script in this series had played out similarly to last season's meeting, with the Hawks winning the first two and Minnesota taking Game 3. But after an initial flurry from Chicago to open the game, the Wild got a soft goal past Corey Crawford -- one of three softies he allowed on Friday -- and Minnesota was engaged while the Blackhawks seemed to deflate. Minnesota outshot Chicago 31-20 and even had a goal disallowed. The Wild got contributions up and down the lineup, with nine players recording at least a point. The Blackhawks are clearly missing agitator Andrew Shaw. He left Game 1 with a right leg injury after taking a hit from Minnesota defenseman Clayton Stoner and has not played since. But the bigger issues on Friday were Crawford and defenseman Michal Rozsival, who both had brutal games. Rozsival's minus-1 rating came courtesy of a turnover on the first Minnesota goal, but he was guilty of far more gaffes and might earn a benching when the series shifts back to Chicago. The only solace the Hawks can take is that they are 5-0 at home in the postseason. They will need the United Center crowd against a Wild team that is starting to believe it is capable of anything, even dethroning the defending champs.

              Blackhawks Super Fan Paints Sneakers For Good Cause.

High school freshman Liz Spurlock is a Chicago Blackhawks super fan.
In honor of the Hawks' latest playoff run, Spurlock decided to paint her sneakers with team colors and patterns as another way to support the team. She had no idea it would turn into a mini-business, Kustom Team Kicks, and an opportunity to help a great cause.

"I decided since I pretty much had everything else hockey, why not get a pair of shoes," Spurlock said.
Her mom posted a photo of her daughter's creations on Facebook, and suddenly the orders poured in.
"Everybody was asking, 'Where do you get them?'"
Spurlock now spends hours painting, and her shoes soon will have a website. 

Some of the money from every pair of shoes goes to a foundation that aims to find treatments and ultimately a cure for the brain cancer that took his life.
