Good morning, Wilderness! It is now day 2 of the Wild's offseason. It sure was tough 2 nights ago to see the Blackhawks pounce all over the Wild to walk out of the United Center with a 5-1 victory and an end to this tough series. You simply can't deny that the Hawks have historically been a better team though. We just all wish it didn't have to end like this. On the bright side, there's still plenty of playoff hockey for us to watch. In terms of who I'm going to be cheering for now, I'm going for the Sharks or Kings to win the west. In terms of the east, I'm cheering for the Penguins or Caps to take that conference. Now, on to your first weekend edition of the offseason Walk:
