I would like to see a little bit more from the Kane line... They look a little lethargic.

Hard to skate the puck in when you have 4 guys at the blue line. Dump, Chase, gain possession and go to the net, doubling the guy with the puck on the wall.

Sure the Panthers are trying to keep the Kane line contained... But your top line should be able to overcome those obstacles . Remember, these are the Panthers not the Canadians or Pittsburgh.

Give motte more ice time for crying out loud. He's making plays out there tonight.

The ice seems a bit more tilted in the Hawks favor this period, no?

He and Hino are standing out tonight most of the rooks...not that Hartman or Schmaltz are having bad games either.

Panthers completely dominating o zone pressure, Blackhawks with better scoring chances

I agree. Love the way Vinnie is playing again. His line with big Hoss and Hartman just had another nice shift.

Edit: Wow, Vinnie can skate.

I like all four of our rookie forwards. They all keep impressing me, none seem to be regressing despite being 20+ games into the season, and all of them can skate very well(especially Hinostroza who has ELITE speed). Very good signs. Especially liking the duo of Hartman and Hinostroza.

This power play is disgusting, they are so irresponsible with the puck at their own blue line.

No arguments.

Uggh on that PowerPlay boys

I think if you added up our last 20+ PPs our shorthanded opponents have combined for more scoring chances and more goals scored than we have. Pathetic.

It's really simple, if they are going to pressure you at the blue line the puck has to go behind the net then quickly to the net.

It would be nice to get some scoring out of them: 10 goals 9 assists total.

Here comes the vaunted Hawks PK....bombs away

Heh...i see Hartman "candy canes" his stick ala Phil Kessel. Don't see many doing that.

Holy poop...LMAO....a MONSTER dive by Bjugstad. What a chump

What a joke, NHL officiating

It amazes me how we were on the west coast and all they did to us was clutch and grab, yet the Hawks get called for ticky tacky penalties, constantly

Score some goals and none of that crap matters.

PAK line - your scoring live - 7 total SAT - 3 total SOG, all by Panarin.

Just like in LA: a nice early goal - then nothing.

An absolute horsepoop penalty call and of course now we're tied 1-1. Gotta love those refs sometimes.

And the PK rears its ugly head.

I agree, the refs blew that, but the PK is slop.

A brilliant shift just then by the Hawks.

It's just frustrating to me, and I do think if there wasn't as much holding and interference against the Hawks they would score more.

I won't blame the refs, and do I agree they need to score more but it's like which came first the chicken or the egg

A brilliant shift just then by the Hawks.

Yeah, if Time of Possession meant anything.

One SAT, if I counted correctly.
