Dan Wallace: First Place Showdown in ChiTown

not the first time being hunted, we owned the hawks along with everyone else from 2000-09,first time in awhile.. this is a bigger game for them i believe, they've been bad against good teams and seemingly go to ot every night with average and bad teams. it's actually pretty amazing thet have 59pts with how poorly they've played but good teams find a way to win even when their not at their best.. plus we've got 4 in hand.. that said i still hope we initiate them

The game starts at 6:00 p.m. Central time, not 7:00 p.m. Wouldn't want Wild fans to miss the Hawks' typical slow start, although after their debacle against the Caps this past Friday, perhaps the Hawks will put forth an all-out effort in a regular season game for a change. Should be interesting.

Right to him. Cant miss that...well Pommer would find a way to miss that.

Wild are impressive. Boudreau instead of Yeo and then Torchetti makes a big difference. But will BB's 7th game playoff woes catch up with them down the road?

wild are 3-0 in game 7's, not worried. has more to do with the players then BB, yeo and torch didn't have staal line. mikko playing 2C where he belongs completely changes the dynamic offensively

It's nice to finally see this team with confidence and gaining. last few seasons they would have most likely lost games like last night and the night before against Dallas. I think a lot of fans are eating crow right now in reference to the Staal and Stewart acquisitions. Myself included.

I can honestly say I liked the Stall pickup from the start. He would move Koivu to where he belonged, 2C. Just wish this could have been done 5 years ago. And I hope not missing the wide open net finally gets Pominville going. I can't truly believe his skills have fallen that fast that quickly. But it's only 1 goal, he needs to do more. Now if BB can just coax some confidence outta Kuemper, things will be really good.
