Charley Walters: Wild were fast, but they didn't finish

The Minnesota Wild's season has ended the last three years with playoff losses to Chicago, the most recent a telling 4-0 sweep by the Blackhawks.

"At the end of the day, you've got to be able to play fast and you've got to be able to finish," Eddie Olczyk said.

Olczyk is the National Hockey League's best TV analyst. He was in St. Paul for the Wild's season-ending 4-3 loss to Chicago.

"I don't care what type of players you bring in, but especially in the Western Conference, you've got to play fast. Especially against a team like Chicago.
