A period much like the first, but a little more Stl dominant. Crow definitely the hero as he came up big several times. Couple post shots. Great for Seabs to get the goal after Kane did a great job to battle to keep the puck in and make the perfect pass, same for Toews. That 2nd line, if they stay in the o zone, they are sneaky good with setting up and rebounding shots. I want someone else with 19 and 88. I like Schmaltz, but I want him with different players. And Vladdy lost a chicklet, haha.

Don't think 1 goal is gonna win it. Gotta pot one more and hopefully Allen obliges. ...... Love to see the 3rd or 4th line get it, they've been great on the cycle.

I don't think so either, but 2 goals doesn't guarantee anything either for the hawks ...

I haven't been able to watch much tonight...how was Forsling in his 11-12 minutes so far?

Justin if the do decide to trade smaltz what teams would make the most sense and what return do u think the hawks get in return?
- Scott1977

Allow me to offer a very realistic answer. The team is not strong enough on defense or forwards. No matter all the prospects, a one for one trade most likely a forward coming back. That is what they should do , no doubt. But don't not rule out a dman. We don't know if Bowman had tried to go after certain style type players. But to improve one area he would be blind to ignore grit and skill on a top six forward .

Doc and Eddie ... I love Wednesday night rivalry.

I like Eddie a lot when he's apart from Foley. Eddie is a top notch color analyst. It's just when Pat and Eddie broadcast together we always get the yuck it up shtick which is tedious and more than a little stale.

Very steady defensively, couple good pokes and blocks. Quick and jumps in plays offensively, he did early. Good with Manning.

Steady. There haven't been many pizzas served up tonight, so the whole d-corps is playing better tonight.

Then Keith forced a pass and Crow saves the day on a 2v1 counter. The overpassing on this team is ridiculous

And they all have to stop the puck and hold before making a play, God I wish they'd move it faster. As much as I hate the Leafs those (frank)ers whip that puck around.

Pat can be funny, but a little bit of him goes a long way. I really like Doc. He brings a different and more respectable side out of Eddie.

Anything decent,Sooner the better

I love when Martinsen blasts someone.

Honestly i don't know why he was in Rockford so long, better than Manning and Seabrook

Manning isn’t good at hockey, but you gotta love that he’s always sticking his nose in there and comes to defend his teammates.

Schmaltz maybe one day will become a NHL player, but for now i can't stand him

Maybe smaltz for a simmonds type player not saying simmonds specifically but that type of power forward. Or a d man in his mid twentys or younger with top 4 potential i am guessing.

Who would give that for a ballerina?

Hawks on pp, Kunitz pissing off Edmundson (Edmenton.) Come on boys, you did it the first time.

I like the boys being a bit more physical, while their stick checking Kunitz backs off a little and gives a nice little hip check

So they just refused to shoot the puck on that power play, just can't score if you don't shoot

Fans booed the pp, and rightfully so. Wtf was that???? Constant cycle or back and forth passing. Shoot!!!!

They just can't get it through their thick skull, simple puck to net with traffic is your best bet to score

Really liking the physical play by the forwards near the boards. They seem to be focused on taking the body of the puck carrier.

On the PP: Maybe he was gassed a bit from being out there the whole time, but Kane was given quite a bit of free ice from the left side and just inched in and passed it.

Shoot the (frank)ing puck

(frank)ing 2 on 1 and don't get a shot. Lmao

Johnson just killed a beautiful 2-1 chance after a great Martinsen hit.
