Well, wasn't that special?

I would have preferred it if the Hawks had been able to salvage that game against the Wild, but if you're going to blow a 4-goal lead in the 3rd period, you probably deserve to lose the game. I know they can't win every game, but damn. Havlat said some pretty snarky things after he signed with the Wild, and it galls me that he may be gloating tonight.

And to think that one of the things the announcers were talking about just before the wheels came off was the Hawks' killer instinct.

I knew as soon as the Wild scored to make it 3-5 that the Hawks would have a devil of a time winning that game. The momentum shifted so totally, and a crowd that had been booing at the end of the first period started going insane. The Hawks got swamped by a tsunami. I think only a team of case-hardened veterans could have regrouped sufficiently to win that game.
