Tom Powers: Down 2-0, Minnesota Wild in their sweet spot

CHICAGO -- Look out now, Chicago!

The Blackhawks beat the error-prone Wild again at United Center, taking a prohibitive 2-0 lead in the series and keeping the pizazz-less Minnesota club 0-for-forever in the playoffs in Chicago. And you know what that means ...

Yes, the Blackhawks are doomed.

The Wild now are in their element. They are -- glub, glub, glub -- going down for the third time. They are not just in dire straits, they are in the Strait of Hormuz without a naval escort. Their situation couldn't be worse if they all walked in the toughest biker bar and ordered a round of fuzzy navels.
