The ACC is going to stand for the Air Canada Circus for game 3. That's going to be a loud, raucous arena.

In the upper deck, yes. In the lower deck, they'll be taking selfies and staring at their smartphones.![]()
SKA (St. Petersburg) won the KHL 4-1. Who knew that Bill Belichesky was the coach??

Wild and the hawks should have met in the conference finals in a perfect universe.
Um, I haven't been following the West at all, so naive question: weren't the Wild supposed to win this series?
They were also supposed to manage more than 4 wins in the month of March. The process of falling flat on their faces began long before this series started.

Here is the problem the Wild have, and it's not new to this season.
NHL playoff hockey is an entirely different beast than NHL regular season hockey. I don't think we see quite the same thing in any other sport.
It is more physical. You have to be able to play in less space. You have to be extremely strong along the boards and in front of the net.
The Wild are not good at any of those things. They weren't all season. They weren't last season either. In the regular season you can thrive without being good at those things, but in the playoffs you have no chance. Not to point the finger at anyone, but when Charlie Coyle is supposed to be your power forward, and every time you see him, both skates are in the air and his gloves and stick go flying because he just got blown up again, your team is in trouble.
