Schule's NHL Friday Night Fistful of Dollar$
(NHL) Minnesota vs. Chicago, 05/01/2015 5:30 PM, Score: 3 - 4
Money Line: -132.00 Chicago (Home)
Result: Win
This is a 10* play on the Chicago Blackhawks.

The Minnesota Wild upset the Blues in the first round, and I'll give them all the credit they deserve for that. The Blackhawks aren't the Blues though, this is a team that has won two cups over the last five years. They have the same core group of players from those championship squads, with Patrick Kane, Jonathan Toews, Duncan Keith and Marian Hossa. The Wild don't have he skilled players to match the Hawks scoring prowess, and they aren't going to have an easy time out-working them. While I think the Wild may be able to extend this series to 6-7 games, in the end ..it will be a player like Patrick Kane that breaks a stalemate late in a tied game.

Take CHI.
