The Chicago Blackhawks Second Season starts tonight as they will entertain the Minnesota Wild in Series 1. The Hawks have all the makings of an eventual Lord Stanley Cup Bearer but they will need to put the same stamp in Winning Time as they did in the Regular Season capturing the President's Trophy. The Wild coming in as the eight and final seed in the West have nothing to lose and will try to use the proverbial "Shock the World". Bling Bling....

#TwinCitiesHockey WILD @ #FrozenTalkHawks BLACKHAWKS

The Hawks will have everything in motion starting with a healthy Wingers Patrick Sharp and Marian Hossa. They have arguably the best Scoring Duo in Ice Game for 2012-13 in Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews. The Vezina Trophy going to the best Net Minder in Ice Game would go to either Corey Crawford or Ray Emery but the Hawks' Cape Crusaders didn't start 30 games each to qualify for winning the Trophy.    

The Wild Key Off-Season Acquisitions of Zach Parise and Ryan Suter are good but the Wild lack enough scoring and Defense to stay with the Hawks. This is bad match up for the Wild but that's why the game will be handled on the ice. The Wild will need their 3-4 lines to come up big vs the Hawks back lines that have been lights out for the 2012-13 season. They also will need some Vezina Trophy like Net Minding and whole bunch of luck.    

The Hawks won the season series 2-0-1 and they will be looking to make quick work of the Wild, keep everyone healthy, and move onto round 2. If the Wild are to make any noise they must get Game One and that seems to be a tall order but it can be done.

Note: the Hawks has the best GAA (Goals Against Average in Ice Game for 2012-13) and only allowed 102 Goals in 48 games and do the match. Couple that with Top Fives in Shots allowed and Penalty Killing...you have "One Goal"...#FrozenTalkHawks in Winning Time.

Game Time Tonight 8pm ET......
