Still haven't lost in regulation and still got an important point. Blackhawks outplayed the Wild for the most part but just didn't get that many quality chances out of their puck control.

Thought Saad had a real nice first period but then slowly faded off a little. Shaw played his best game of the season. Frolik was all over the ice tonight. Kane was a little sloppy with the puck and to blame on the last penalty before the end of the game.

Leddy looked good but Oduya had some bad turnovers tonight.

Both of the Wild goals were directly from defensive faceoffs.

Crawford looked good tonight again. Can't really blame him on either of the goals and he made some big saves when they counted.

Big game coming up Friday versus the Canucks!

Sooner or later they were gonna lose. They should've had a few losses before this.

Sorry, I still don't think they're as good as their record.

Probably not, but people can still be happy :shrug:

They don't have to be. Nobody in the west is going to be dominant this year. The west will be wide open.

ok, nobody is good enough to have 152 points in an 82 game season (the pace we're at after the loss were this to be a whole season).

Another just mediocre game, had some good stretches, but all in all we've been playing worse the last 3 games (though if you look at the first 4 games they're being compared too, I wonder why, pretty hard to keep that up). Don't blame Crawford for either goal, though he got deeked a bit in shootouts. Kaner was almost trying to replicate his game-winner without the slowing down part... and can anybody stop Toews 1-on-1 on a five-hole?

That is incorrect. You are ONLY as good as your record. It's why they keep score, why there are standings and why they don't just play the games for "grins".

I agree this is a team that's on fire, the bounces where just going Minnesotas way. The top guys were very quiet and the hawks did a great job on that koivu and Parise line. I wish the hawks would have pressured the Wild's D more because outside of suter and Gilbert they don't have much for puck moving d-men
