Thanks Al, I had forgotten about Alpo. Not that this game is pi$$ing me off, now I have to think about Alpo.

Couldn't resist. Those years were absolutely brutal. It was so laughable how Mike Smith was supposed to be THE hockey expert.

Oh yeah...tough tough saves...Hawks getting whipped in the 3rd.

Playing for OT instead of taking it to Van.

Hey guys, I know there's a lot of Oduya love here (and I do like what he's brought for the most part) . . . but seriously, who the hell made the decision to put him on the PP and pull Leddy off??? WTF!

Leddy has brought more good offensive opportunities tonight. And if they used the guy the right way, he would make the entry deep into the zone on the PP because he is one of the few guys capable of doing so.

I mean, if this is what Barry (edited, thanks) Smith's supposed expertise has brought (or if it's Scotty Bowman's genius), then fire both of 'em. Pathetic. A team with this much talent that looks so sickly on the PP is just wrong.

Johnny's had his shakiest game in a Hawks uni. Beaten on the goal...but Crow blew the angle. 27 was beaten later by Kassian in the 3rd almost the exact same way.

But c'mon Savvy...Nick can't play every second of the game

Or - the effects of a back to back, even if last nite wasn't a strain.

Philco, I'm not ragging on 27 for that goal or his play in general. Like Keith, I don't think he's the right choice on the PP in favor of Leddy. And to your point, Oduya IS a better D-man that 8 right now (not a better skater, but a better D man). However, Leddy has the BEST OFFENSIVE skills.

Don't know if I'm making myself clear, hopefully you get the point. And I'm glad to see 8's minutes down tonight, hopefully a precaution with the head hit on Leddy last night.

We took it to them the last five minutes. No shots for Vancouver.

Boy, really feel lucky to get at least a point here.

Crawford excellent in the 3rd - maybe he's back to playing play-off hockey.

Nice trailer play by your guy Oduya, Philco -- unlike Keith, he CAN get a shot on net!

C2 probably should have stopped that 1st one but he was great after that!!

Tied with Nashville and within one of detroit now.

He was perfect after that

Wow, just saw the highlights. How the hell was Keith only given 2 minutes for that? Hope he enjoyed it while it lasted, he'll be watching from the box for some time.
