Dan Wallace: Hawks Wild Showdown or Stranglehold?

Simmonds for Erickson ek and pominville

Wild played last night and spent the rest of the evening on a plane to Chicago. Hawks have had 4 days rest. Thanks NHL for this crappy schedule that sets us up for failure over and over again. Couldn't we face Colorado on the second night of a back to back, or at least done them at home so we don't have to travel in between. We really have to play a team that has won 3 cups in the past 7 years and have been a contender every year? (frank) this, I'm bitter. Sue me

And....you guys will probably win 6-1.

Don't sweat the back-to-back. Your team is super solid this year, and will be more than ready for my Hawks. I am hoping for a good game, but am not super confident the Hawks can compete with the Wild at this stage. We need an addition to our top forward mix...too many rookies, although happy with their play. Should be a good battle if both teams bring their best.

Good luck.....but, Go Hawks!!!

Except they flew to Minnesota because they don't play in Chicago.

I sure home the Wild are in Chicago tonight. I would love to see a team forfeit a game.

Sorry, corrected. But you get what I am saying, still a pain in the royal with cheese

the B to B doesn't bother me, wild have been decent in game 2 this year. the wild obviously don't care who the opponent is at this point they're just figuring out what they need at the deadline. the hawks are a shell of the team they were in past seasons offensively and defensively challenged and have gotten a majority of their wins from crawford or darling standing on their respective head. should be a high scoring game with the amount of chances the hawks give up and kuemper in net for us

I think the hawks will come to play tonight with plenty of jump. Should be a great game. LGW!

Kemps better be at his best or it could get ugly. You know dang well the Hawks are loaded for bear with the Wild 6 points up on them.

interesting lineup again, to start. i like nino with staal

Is this a joke?!

If the Wild play better team defense tonight they will win. They were abysmal last night and still found a way to win

put 3 or 53 with 22-12 already 10 is a 4th liner cmon BB

good effort tonight not a let down, in my eyes, i wasn't expecting a W due to kuemper playing and 2 AHL guys. sucks it gives the hawks some confidence to start their road trip. oh well we got a point
