More things than that are predictable.

Wow

Shaw.

The wrath of Pekka lives on.

Meh. Hawks played well but Rinne stood on his head. It happens.

Great 3rd, but lame 2nd left 'em all with too much to do.

More like the first 30 but yeah. Two late goals didn't help.

Yup. But you got to like the effort in the third. Thought for sure they'd mail this one in and just go through the motions.

I'm still not getting too worked up over the regular season. I'm confident they will be in the middle of things in the playoffs.

Neal allowed to do whatever he pleased too. Anyone put a shoulder into him ?

Yea...I like the way the team looks. It will usually take herculean efforts by the other team to win games even if the Hawks play good half the time.

With health this is the best team in the Central. Its a long season

Friend of mine who is a Canuck fan is going bonkers on Facebook about the Blows running their players tonight and has a real issue with Backes (welcome to our hell). LOL...Good thing is the CaSkunks beat them...

Agreed.

Any word on pokka? How is svedberg? I wasnt impressed with him. Hope he sits when pokka is healthy

Yeah and once richards and all the lines get some chemistry they will be real tough. West is really getting tough now. Hope hawks really turn it on during the 1st round. No more relying on crawford to bail them out early

As seen so many times before, the Hawks need to fall behind and get smacked around for a period or 2 on the road against a tough opponent before they finally wake up and find another gear. Sucks that they didnt tie it up there at the end and at least get a point, but its no big deal. On to the Blues(who lost again tonight).

Thought the Preds played well tonight and have so under Lavy. The Preds definitely had home ice tonight. Hawks could have easily had more than 1 PP and that one they had looked decent. Not to take anything away from Rinne he was stellar. Didn't care for Ribeiro's play on Toews, but appreciated Carbomb's response. Good to see Ben Smith get a goal.

Long season. Sure the fans want to win every game especially after watching that garbage on the lakefront last Sunday.

No Pokka as of yet. Svedberg is Svedberg. Nothing really to see there.

The Central is the toughest division in the NHL, no gimmees in any of the rinks. 2 of those Nashville goals could have been prevented, sloppy giveaways.

And don't hold your breath waiting for Brad Richards to get any chemistry with anybody, the turtle is washed up.

Thought for sure if they got the second, they would come all the way back. Have to give the Preds credit. Didn't feel like a game they were mailing in. Thought it was more of what the Preds did instead of what the Hawks didn't.

The more I see the more I think you're right.

He was gifted two of those goals. And no matter what Konroyd says on the first. Seabrook has to make sure he had weak side help before committing.

Yeah i definitely saw a bunch of preds penalties. But hawks always have trouble with nashville.

Richards does look washed up. He has been really bad on the powerplay. I know hossa is God here but i think we need him to produce more
