Tonite (and against Florida), good defense has led to the offense: Hawks have protected Raanta very well since Crawford went down

Waiting for the meatheads (Fvineze) who will cite Raanta's SV% as a reason he should start over CC.....

I'm more curious about the Hawks' goalie tomorrow. Will we see Simpson? I think Q must be mighty tempted to ride Raanta into the ground for the next three weeks.

Raanta has played well tonight, so my guess is he'll go tomorrow.

How many times have the Hawks been on national TV? Are they saving the games for down the home stretch? Of maybe they've been both Comcast and national and I haven't noticed?

The games between Dallas and Anaheim were both national on NHL Network.

Certainly possible.

I think, if Q can help it, Simpson is parked on the bench as much as humanly possible until Crow is ready to get back in the saddle.

Gr8 Eight had four goals tonight vs Tampa.

That's pretty good.

Dallas has had a lot of time in the Hawk zone, but Hawks keeping the away from Raanta nicely, and blocking a lot of shots. Dallas may be winning the Corsi/Fenwick battle, but good goalie protection by our heroes.

At the end of 2. Hawks has outshot them 28-14.

K, anytime someone wants to go ape $hit on Roussel....

Flyers skated this morning at Johnnys...hope theyre having lots of fun on Rush St tonight..Mason has started the last three, will we see Razor tomorrow??

sounds like emery is getting the start.

Wowser... He's streaky, but when he's on he's a goal scoring machine, for sure.

If Toews can't take faceoffs why is he even playing?

More PK practice.

Besides Crawford's injury, only one downer the past 2 games: too many penalties.

Lucky Florida and Dallas have shiit power plays: can't keep taking 4 per game.

How many were 5-on-5? 1?

Two straight late penalties for Morin. Back to the doghouse?

2 of em on the PP (from where you'd expect).

2 even strength.

Raanta is rather flexible...

...Troy Murray said he just pulled his groin watching him make that save.

OH for Ben Eager right now! How bout that hit on Ben Smith at the end of the first and yet no call...and Roussel continues to run various Hawks...he's my Canuck of the month...

I'm not sure he ever left it.

LA is looking scary. I thought Quick was so important to their success but they haven't missed a beat with him being out.

...and another PK.

Are we purposely practicing the PK?
