Chicago Blackhawks streaking again, this time on the penalty kill (Puck Daddy)
Source: Yahoo! Sports
In 2012, the Chicago Blackhawks’ penalty kill failed them in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
They gave up 4 goals on 19 chances in a loss to the Phoenix Coyotes, who entered the postseason with the 29th best power play in the NHL. The Hawks had the 27th best PK in the regular season; those struggles continues in the playoffs.
So they remedied that in the offseason, bringing in Los Angeles Kings assistant coach and penalty kill architect Jamie Kompon. After the lockout ended, they converted offensive forwards Marcus Kruger and Michael Frolik in special teams defenders.
The results were stunning: The PK provided the backbone for the Blackhawks’ 24-game streak with at least one point earned, and the team gave up the fewest power-play goals in the regular season (18) while finishing with the third-best penalty kill (87.2 percent).
In the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs … well, it’s been perfect: 20 times shorthanded, 20 kills, including a perfect 17-for-17 in Round 1 against the Minnesota Wild (17.9 percent in the regular season.

ST. PAUL, Minn. Even without starting goaltender Niklas Backstrom, the Minnesota Wild's 4-1 first-round playoff series loss to the Chicago Blackhawks couldn't be pinned on the team's goaltending situation.
Facing the NHL's second-highest scoring team during the regular season wasn't the issue. Instead it was the team's lack of scoring, such as going 0 of 18 on the power play, which led to Minnesota's early playoff exit. Josh Harding, who had played in one NHL game in the nearly three months previous to starting Game 1, filled in admirably for Backstrom with a 2.94 goals-against average and .911 save percentage.
Yet, as the Wild enter the offseason, goaltending is the biggest question facing general manager Chuck Fletcher and the team's staff.
Backstrom, off a season in which he tied for the league-lead in wins, is an unrestricted free agent. Harding and rookie Darcy Kuemper, who was thrust into action after Harding was hurt in the playoffs, are under contract. But the team'

What first struck me as a comment unfit for consideration at
The SHP the other day by Lemmiwinks about Heatley staying on with the Wild after this season now has me thinking about it.
A lot of people assumed that Heatley would be a buyout candidate after this season, given that the cap is expected to fall to 64.3 million dollars for the 13-14 season. Indeed, the Wild find themselves in a pickle with regard to the salary cap going into next year. This much was assumed, but with the acquisition of Jason Pominville, the Wild seemed to be shutting the door on the Dany Heatley Era.

The NHL announced the finalists for the Jack Adams Award on Friday, as Bruce Boudreau of the Anaheim Ducks, Paul MacLean of the Ottawa Senators and Joel Quenneville of the Chicago Blackhawks are up for the trophy presented to the head coach who has "contributed the most to his team's success," as voted on by members of the NHL Broadcasters' Association.
We imagine it warms Mike Babcock’s heart to see Quenneville get a nomination, being that President’s Trophy winners don’t always get the Jack Adams love. Then again, it’s hard to ignore a coach who guides his team to 24 straight games with at least a point to start the season.
It was a bumper crop for great NHL coaching performances this season, which is bad news for Jack Capuano of the New York Islanders, Mike Yeo of the Minnesota Wild, Dan Bylsma of the Pittsburgh Penguins, Babcock and especially Michel Therrien of the Montreal Canadiens.

Penguins star Sidney Crosby, Wild goaltender Josh Harding and Bruins defenseman Adam McQuaid are this season's nominees for the NHL's Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy.
The award is presented to ''the player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey.''
Crosby returned to form this year after missing extended time with concussion issues the past two seasons. The Penguins captain finished fourth in the NHL with 56 points despite missing 12 games because of injuries, including a broken jaw he suffered when hit in the face with a puck on March 30.
Harding was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis last fall and missed 33 games as he underwent treatment. On April 22, he was activated from injured reserve and returned to the Wild lineup.
McQuaid suffered a season-threatening injury in September when he was diagnosed with a condition causing dangerous blood clots to form in his body. After undergoing two emergency operation to remove the clots, the

One of the criticisms that I have heard from time-to-time about the Minnesota Wild, is that the Wild don't have any former Minnesota Gophers currently playing for the home town team.
Wrap your fingers around this. On the 2013 Minnesota Wild roster, there were numerous Badgers, a Fighting Sioux, a Catamount, a Terrier and a Husky. But there were no Minnesota Golden Gophers. Not one.
True, the Wild have Erik Haula in the Wild's farm system, but there is no guarantee that he will even make the big squad next season or that he is even ready to play for the Minnesota Wild in the near future. Also,

Koivu had a pretty decent season for the Wild. During the playoffs, many people thought he should be stripped of his "C" patch because he simply couldn't do too much in our tough playoff series against the mighty Chicago Blackhawks.

Minnesota Wild goalie Niklas Backstrom has undergone sports hernia surgery.
The team announced that Backstrom's operation went as planned on Thursday morning in Philadelphia. The procedure was done by Dr. William Meyers.
The 35-year-old Backstrom aggravated the injury while warming up before Minnesota's first game of the Western Conference quarterfinal series at Chicago on April 30. Josh Harding was sent in to replace him, and Backstrom was unable to play the rest of the series.
The Wild have said Backstrom is expected to be fully recovered for the start of next season. Whether he's still in the net for them is another matter. Backstrom will become an unrestricted free agent in July. He has played all seven of his NHL seasons with the Wild.
