 Wild aim to get past Chicago Blackhawks this time.



It would hardly feel like the Stanley Cup playoffs if the Minnesota Wild and Chicago Blackhawks didn't meet.

For a third straight year, they are set for a best-of-seven postseason series, this one a second-round battle that will begin later this week, perhaps Friday in the Windy City.

Just like a year ago, the Wild's reward for upsetting the Central Division champs in the first round of the playoffs is a Blackhawks team that has been one of the league's best since 2008, winning the Stanley Cup in 2010 and 2013.

"Every year, they're Cup contenders," Zach Parise said after scoring twice in the Wild's series-clinching 4-1 Game 6 win over the St. Louis Blues. "For us to want to get in that conversation with them, we've got to beat them.

 It'll be a good series. It'll be a tough series."
Two years ago, the Wild were bounced by the Blackhawks in five quick games, a series that wasn't overly competitive.

Last year, the Wild showed significant gains, playing the Blackhawks fairly evenly before falling in overtime of Game 6.

This season, they hope for more.

"Three straight years we've been to the playoffs and a couple of years now that we've won a round, but nobody's satisfied with that," coach Mike Yeo said. "We weren't last year, and we're even less this year. I think that's a good thing. But we know that we're up against a tough challenge in the next round as well."

The Blackhawks won their first-round series by knocking off the Nashville Predators in six games.

"You knew there were going to be two good teams coming out of the Central (Division) and they are the third and fourth seeds that get out," Blues captain David Backes said. "You get into the playoffs, anyone can get out if they bring the next level of their game, and Minnesota and Chicago did that and us and Nashville are having interviews like this."

  Blackhawks beat Wild in Game 1 on Teravainen goal in 2nd
 



 
 

MAY 02, 2015   

Teuvo Teravainen broke a tie with his first playoff goal and the Chicago Blackhawks beat the Minnesota Wild 4-3 on Friday night in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinal series.

The Blackhawks, trying to knock out Minnesota for the third straight year, struck first after taking out Nashville in six games in the opening round. Game 2 is Sunday night in Chicago.

The 20-year-old Teravainen came through with 58.2 seconds left in the second period after Chicago blew a 3-0 lead. Held out of the final four games of the first round, he scored from a difficult angle, and the Blackhawks hung on from there.

Brandon Saad scored 1:15 into the game. Patrick Kane and Marcus Kruger added goals just over 2 minutes apart in the first period.

Corey Crawford made 30 saves, and the Blackhawks came away with the win even though they were outplayed for big portions of the game.

Zach Parise had a goal and an assist for Minnesota, Jason Zucker and Mikael Granlund also scored, and Thomas Vanek had two assists.

Devan Dubnyk stopped 31 shots, but the Wild came up short after beating St. Louis in the first round.

The Wild scored three goals in an 8:09 span in the second period to wipe out a 3-0 deficit, only to see Chicago take the lead on Teravainen's goal. He picked the puck off the left board and fired a quick shot high off the right post and into the net.

Crawford preserved the lead in the third when he saved a shot by Matt Dumba with his left toe with 7:38 remaining. He stopped Nino Niederreiter's point blank just over a minute later.

Minnesota's Jason Pominville missed a half-open net from about 15 feet, the puck fluttering wide left with about 2:40 left.

Notes: The Blackhawks are 23-4 in their past 27 home playoff games. ... Chicago F Kris Versteeg sat out with a lower-body injury that coach Joel Quenneville said was not serious. ... The Wild are winless in seven playoff games at Chicago.

Would you like to downgrade your prediction there Bobby 

[dew2]

 An this Lee says it all>>>>>> the Blackhawks came away with the win even though they were outplayed for big portions of the game.
 If Mn went into the 3ed the way they played the 2nd it would may have been a sweep.

Where's Bobby Bass? I remember him being a Wild fan at one time. Then there was Tim (MNO). I remember what a thrill it was for him when he posted a photo of the Championship Blackhawks on the home page after losing his bet.

  He did keep his word.

Nope, Hawks pretty much blew their wad in the first, Wild took all they had and just about won it still. With a win Sunday night and the home ice advantage will be gone for the Hawks. Of course you can read all about it in the paper I am sure the games are on way past your bedtime.

" Now we will see how the Hawks can play in THE STATE OF HOCKEY.."

  Bobby...... Bobby old age is setting in on you. The next series is in Minn and they now have to leave THE STATE OF HOCKEY. You are so confused.

[glenn57]

I beg to differ!!!!!!!!!!! your the state of most jailed politicians!!!!!!!!!!

[Bobby Bass]

Nope we leave the state of stale beer and day old pizza. Back home to 19,000 fans who know how to play hockey not just go to games to wave cute little flags they found on their seat and ask the guy next to them "What is icing"  should be a different game for sure with Yeo getting to make the last line change and home ice advantage. Wild will still win in 6 

[Lee Borgersen]

Bobby,

First off everyone from my state already knows that icing is what you put on cake.

Glenn,

Everyone knows that the politicians from IL were railroaded into serving time in prison. Remember that one of the greatest presidents the nation has ever known Obama is from IL. "O' yes and some guy named Lincoln. I think they even named a car after him but, I don't think he played Hockey.

Then their was a guy named Lee Borgersen from IL. that was named a Minnesota Legend and he didn't even play hockey. As a matter of fact I may even have a photo of him. Wait a minute and Ill see if I can find it ... What luck! I just happened to find that photo. What are the odds that I would just happen to stumble over it.
