Tom Powers: It's punch, counterpunch for Wild, Blackhawks

CHICAGO -- The Chicago whammy is alive and well.

Up, down, around and around and still no cigar for the Wild in Chicago. Despite a stunning comeback from a 3-0 deficit, they remain 0 for forever in the playoffs here and continue to find new and interesting ways to lose against their nemesis.

This time, it was on a fluttering puck that eluded the NHL's hottest goalie.

What's new? The Blackhawks continue to out-Wild the Wild in playoff contests, playing the same style and almost always doing just a little bit more to get by. Somehow.
