Hawks 5, Wild 2: Photos, video and wanted posters galore

The bad news: Andrew Shaw left Friday's game with a lower body injury. The good news: Just about everything else went well. Patrick Kane and Bryan Bickell had two goals apiece as the Hawks broke the game open in the third period and take a 1-0 series lead against Minnesota.

Gray skies in Chicago & the air is cool. In the distance a beard barks. Minnesota, you don't know wild until you hear my UC friends tonight.

Oh it's on! Mayor Emanuel has even made a wager with St. Paul Mayor Chris
Coleman over the outcome of the Hawks-Wild series.

(Chris Sweda/ Chicago Tribune / June 28, 2013)

“I am excited to take part in this wager with our friends from the north. I have full confidence that our mighty Blackhawks will be victorious in this series. In the unlikely case that things don't go our way, I am prepared to send a six-pack of our hoppy pride and joy: Half Acre Daisy Cutter, a barrel of Chicago’s own Garrett’s Popcorn, and some of our Chicago-style Giardiniera that can spice up any casserole,” said Mayor Emanuel.

What would Chicago get from St. Paul? A 25-pound Pearson's salted nut roll and a six-pack of Summit beer.

First hockey game of my life is a Blackhawks playoff game. Just sitting through the intro, I can't help but think: "Hmmmm, this is pretty cool." I'm still trying to figure out how they "paint" the Hawks logo into the ice. #SouthernBoy

Listening to Jim Cornelison sing the National Anthem sends chills down your spin. I've never heard a croud get so loud during that song. (Getty Images)

WANTED: Zach Parise, for listing "The Count of Monte Cristo" as his favorite movie. Come on dude. That movie was barely mediocre at best.

WANTED: Ryan Suter, for stealing his teammates' ice time. He logged the most
minutes per game in the NHL this season, almost six minutes more than
his next busiest teammate. He played nearly nine minutes in the first period. SHOWOFF!!!

by jstpierre 5/3/2014 2:41:02 AM
Just announced: Andrew Shaw will not return to the game. Get well soon, buddy!

If you're wondering why all of Chicago hates Clayton Stoner's guts, this would be why. Andrew Shaw is out for the game. (Chris Sweda/Tribune)

by RedEye Chicago 5/3/2014 3:00:54 AM
WANTED: Clayton Stoner, for knocking Andrew Shaw out of the game. Don't think that Brandon Bollig will let this one go.

They may take our Shaw but they'll never take ... OUR FREEDOM! #blackhawksbravehearts

WANTED: Jake Dowell, for denying the universe video of him dancing. The former
Hawk's Twitter account says "Love the dance floor & good luck
getting the microphone away from me." Get on that. Like, yesterday.
