It looked like the 'Hawks would go from Stanley Cup champions to missing the playoffs in one year. The Wild had to keep the Stars from winning in regulation or OT. Well with all of Chicago watching a Wild-Stars hockey game on NHL Network, the Wild defeated the Stars in regulation giving the Blackhawks the 8th spot in the playoffs. Talk about backing into the playoffs. And talk about sending out a big "Thank you, Minnesota!"THANK YOU, MINNESOTA
