Blackhawks down Wild to take 2-0 series lead

CHICAGO - Asking the Minnesota Wild if they have any emotional baggage to deal with when they play at the United Center is getting to be like asking cows if they’re uncomfortable in a slaughterhouse.

Winless in in eight ill-fated playoff visits over the last three years, the Wild were left to answer the House of Blues questions all over again Sunday after their latest attempt to change their fortunes here ended up on the killing room floor.

Their 4-1 loss in Game 2 gives the Blackhawks a 2-0 series lead, a 10-3 record in 13 playoff games and moves them that much closer to eliminating Minnesota for the third straight year.
