Hjalmarsson looks like himself again. TVR holding up pretty well

Panarin already simplifying his game a bit so that's good to already be adjusting

Mash with 6:23 TOI.

of course...why not...0-0 OT game 1....6 more games of this ladies/gents....

I believe the Blues are 3-2 against the 'Hawks this season, but all three of their wins came in OT/SO.

Now, obviously, is a great time to break that "drought".

Defense by committee. I love this. This is what I've been waiting for all year. Now if they could throw a few hits on blues D men...

thats correct and the hawks had leads in all those games...

Every playoff matchup the Hawks get hit a lot and the commentators always say the same thing. Nothing new, we got this

Elliott having the game of his life.

That will happen when you have no one in front of the net. He is seeing everything.

Heck of a good road game so far for the Hawks. Not perfect, but they have played a good game on the road.

Still really like TVR's game tonight. I would keep him in the pair he is in now.

It appears that first goal wins it...

...and the stress is a killer.

Considering no DK...I'd say no goals after 60 min. is acceptable.

Good to see Rozi return.

Reg season doesn't matter, Hawks love OT in playoffs

Me too. He and 4 look good together and then you reunite 2 and 7. And Rosy has looked decent

3 on 3 vs. 5 on 5

Big diff...

...but it remains a crap shoot.

Kinda surprised that War-on-ice is listing the scoring chances for as 23-8 in favor of the Hawks at 5v5 and 32-16 overall.

Blues have gotten shots from the middle a little too often for my heart to take.

AR...they have played a very fine game defensively...blues have not gotten any looks...very few quality chances...but poop 41 hits by the blows...and 3 of those blks by the hawks looked sure goals...

For a road game without him they're certainly playing better than their regular season led me to expect. Crawford looks sharp, just needs to control some of those rebounds and stop leaving his net so much, couple risky ones. Panarin needs to just shoot shoot shoot, but I love how many steals he's had and turnovers he's caused

Edit: and Kruger has looked (frank)ing fantastic this whole game

As Pat Foley would say....."we need a greasy goal to win this thing!!!"

I was probably in Edmonton...lol. Been here 13 years, after I moved from middle of nowhere northern Alberta.

Give. 91. NO. Space.

Hard, because he makes space with that reach and strength anywhere he goes. What a player!

Yes. I would be happy with our guys not watching him make the space.

Whos going to win it?

Next team on the power play wins it
