    Well wallman, congrats on being right..Although you're apparently the only one who felt like they had no chance. I saw 15 predictions for this series from unbiased people, 8 had Chicago winning, 7 had the Wild winning and pretty much everyone on both sides thought it'd be a good series. The Wild were just very disappointing and Chicago took advantage of their chances while the Wild didn't. The Wild were a MUCH worse team last year and played Chicago much better than they are right now, it just doesn't make sense.

    I don't know why you keep talking about how bad the 1st round was, that's the defensive smart style the Wild like to play. Just cuz you found it boring or whatever doesn't mean it's not effective. When the Wild are at their best like they've been basically every game the last 3 months until this series, that's how they play.

    To be honest, I'm not really bothered how much tickets are. Coming from the UK to Chicago on business for 5 days is most likely going to be the only chance I'm going to ever get to watch a decent game (UK ice hockey is awful in comparison).

    I have no idea how the league's work though, any chance you can let me know if is looking likely they will be playing on either of those days?

    Expected this Hawks/Wild series to be more competitive.

    Hoping Tampa crushes the hopes and dreams of all of Montreal tonight.

    Thanks buddy, really appreciate it. I've got Google Now notifications for scores but it's just annoying not having a clue about how the league's work.

    Okay well maybe only one was a bit of an exaggeration but my point was it was pretty even as to who people thought would win the series and most at least had it going 6 or 7.

    i'm not trying to split hairs but nearly everyone picks 6 or 7 for every series so they dont look dumb when/if they're wrong.

    I think Minnesota takes the game at home tomorrow and then Chicago closes it out in 5 at home. To much firepower for the hawks and not enough offense from Minnesota. Dubnyk played awesome last night tho I will give him that

    Ugh, he was pretty good I guess but he's been awful this series compared to how he was in the regular season. That Kane goal is one he'd mostly stop. The Wild are a great road team so it's not like they can't win on the road in game 5 if it gets there, they just gotta stop playing so s-----y. Last game they finally got some more chances but Crawford for some reason is always hot against the Wild. Even Nashville f---in destroyed him lol, Wild's offense can certainly be pathetic at times. Unfortunately their defense and goaltending has been too for parts of this series, no one could have expected that.

    You have no idea how frustrating this series is, Wild are a way better team than they were this time last year but it's not showing right now. Somehow a much worse Wild team last year took the Hawks to 6, this much improved team might get swept.

    Oh and Thomas Vanek f---in SUCKS, dude is worthless and has made so many mistakes in the playoffs.
