We’re entering our 11th entry on the list of most memorable Chicago Blackhawks playoff wins under coach Joel Quenneville, and we’ve reached our first series-clinching game. There’s no rule for this countdown saying series-clinching games have to stay near the top (there are no rules at all). And, if you’ve checked in with other entries from this series, you probably know which opposing team will be represented here.
Note: Check out the previous entries in this series at the end of this post.
No. 63: 2013 Western Conference first round, Game 5
Chicago Blackhawks 5, Minnesota Wild 1
For as far apart as these teams ended up on the scoreboard after 60 minutes had passed, the Wild looked like the better team early in this one.
