Dan Wallace: Wild Still Alive, Hawks Done

You ain't dead yet, keep your heads up. Bruin fans were crowing pretty good when they had my Flyers down 3-0 in 2010, how'd that work out for em?

Go out and win on home ice tonight and all of a sudden the pressure is on the Blues.

Good luck.

Well folks, I popped in here a few times during the close of the regular season to chirp about the Wild slipping from 1st in the conference.

Now that the Hawks were swept - and in such a convincing fashion - seems only right to post here and "own it" as they say.

There's a good rivalry redeveloping out of the old Norris division - should make for some compelling playoffs in the years to come.

Good luck to the Wild - it would be something to pull out the series win.

Best of luck to the Wild! I'd much rather see Minnesota advance than the Boos. I have some good friends up in the cities that would be stoked to see playoff hockey continue for another round.

In the same vein, the rivalry on our end is something like this:

Wild: "I hate you Blackhawks!"
Hawks: "I don't ever think about you at all."

The Hawks have the hardware and stomped the Wild quite a few times along the way, so it never really felt like a rivalry on our end. But they're admittedly a fun team to watch, and I'm definitely rooting for the Wild over the Blues, and possibly beyond. Good luck to y'all!

Of course the year the Wild would finally be free of the Hawks is the year they find themselves down 3-1 to the Blues... Maddening.

Come on guys win one more!

A surprising and unfortunate end to the Hawks season... Wow, just like I would have never guessed the Wild would be down 3 games to 1 to the Blahs, I never in a million years would have guessed the Hawks would be swept by the hated Sex Predators let alone lose in the first round.

Oh well, times are a changing I guess. Now who am I going to root for if the Wild lose this series???!!!! Dont' like the Blues or the Ducks, absolutely hate Smushville. Guess I'll root for the winner of the Sharks/Oilers series...

lol.

Sex predators.

lol.

Sex predators.
