After two disappointing games, the series now shifts back to the UC as the Hawks attempt to take back the series lead. I don’t know how many times we’ve said it, or how many times you’ve heard it, but we all know the phrase “It’s not a series until the home-team loses”. That hardly feels like the case though when the first two games were decided by breakout third periods for the Hawks who very easily could have lost either game. On the trip to MN, the Hawks clearly looked like the slower and more beatable team. They simply weren’t close contests, even in Game 4 when at least the score wasn’t too off.

It’s hard to make a case that the sky is falling for the Hawks. On paper, they’re clearly the better team. By just about any way of looking at it, they shouldn’t have a problem with this Wild, even as improved as they are from last year. But that’s hardly the case among the Hawks fans right now. They just got punched in the face pretty squarely in the last two games and it’s hard to not think the Wild may come through as the underdogs. That can easily swing the other way today though. One good period is all it really takes for this Hawks team to pull away from the Wild. If we could not wait til the third, that’d be great.

Event Summary

I passed out on my couch last night. I was woken up at 2:30 in the morning by a 4 pound chihuahua licking my face. I thought I smelled something funny but was still in half-sleep mode. Once I gathered my bearings I realized there was a nice pile of diarrhea at the edge of the couch and the little dog couldn’t have been prouder of it.

So if you’re wondering how Joel Quenneville feels this morning, just ask me and I can give you a pretty accurate description.

You know how these Friday night 8:30 starts go. Wrap will be in the morning when we’re all in slightly better condition.

See your face every place that I walk in
Hear your voice every time I am talking
You will believe in me
And I will never be ignored

I will cry for you
I will cry for you
I will wash away your pain with all my tears
And drown your fear

I would die for you
I would die for you
I’ve been dying just to feel you by my side
To know that you’re mine
