Stadium Series Review #1

Image result for blackhawks wild stadium seriesAs a Blackhawks fan this was a hard one to watch, the Wild killed the Hawks 6-1 and Kane was the only one to score for the Hawks. First Matt Dumba scored early on in the game, than Thomas Vanek barely scored to make things worse for the Hawks. Nino Niederreiter scored in the second period to put it away. I couldn't watch it after that, but Jason Pominville scored about halfway through the period to put salt in the wound. The third period starts and Ryan Carter scores to make it 5-0. Luckily for the Blackhawks Patrick Kane scored to get them on the board, but Erik Haula scored and that was it. Jason Zucker suffered a head injury after taking a hit from Blackhawks defenseman Michael Rozsival, and he got a game misconduct for the high hit. Overall the game was one sided and the Wild really stepped it up for the big stage they were on. The Blackhawks are now 1-3 in outdoor games and the Wild are 1-0, but the Hawks may be in the Winter Classic next year against the Blues rumors have told. The next Stadium Series game is the Red Wings and Avalanche on February 27th at Coors Field. Was this an entertaining game? Did the Blackhawks lose because of Hossa's injury? Will the Wild be in any more outdoor games? stay tuned....
