WILD @ BLACKHAWKS Game 2 Preview in "FROZEN TALK" 1901 West Madison...THe INDIAN Head tries to make it two wins in a row as they go Operation "Protect the MADHOUSE"..."Skating with the WILD" has other Plans! #MINvsCHI #WildOnIce #FearTheIndianHead #StanleyCupPlayoffs

The Minnesota Wild isn't in a must-win situation for game 2 but it would be nice heading back to the Xcel Energy Center all knotted up 1-1 with home ice. Minnesota must do a better job of playing in front of Vezina Trophy Finalist Devan Dybnyk as the Indian Head jumped on his early in game 1 to the tune of three goals in frame one.

Yes the Hawks lead 1-0 but that 2nd frame they were put on their heels by the Wild blowing a 3-0 lead in ten minutes. The Indian Head will expect no different in game 2 as the Wild might have found their style and game plan for game two in game period 2 and 3. Corey "Craw-Dad" Crawford must be better but like Dubnyk that "D" in front of his has to lend a helping hand, stick, body, or skate!

#WILDOnIce vs #FearTheINDIANHead 
What to watch for in Game #2

Wild Center Erik Haula is back in Game 2 at Center as he did major work on the Blue Notes in round 1...look for him to be on that 3rd line with Wingers Thomas Vanek and Jason Zucker.

Brandon Saad has been gaining steam as he did in the 2014 Stanley Cup Playoffs the Wild must pay special attention to him as he is on line 1 for the Indian Head featuring Center Jonathan Toews and Winger Marian Hossa...

"Speed" and more "Speed" as both teams have it and it will come down odd man rushes and neutral zone play...

Dubnyk vs Crawford...who wins?

Power Play Units who takes full advantage of it will win?

Stars need to shine...Zach Parise, Jason Pominville, and Mikael Granlund as well as Mikko Koivu for the Wild...Jonathan Toews, Duncan Keith, Patrick Kane, and Brandon Saad for the Indian Head...

Game 2 is here at 8:30pm ET...
