I'm not sure it helps but the kick was partially blocked. If it hadn't been, it probably goes through the uprights. So some of it is on the O-line too.

Man I didn't see that. I just know that it is a lost opportunity to advance. Enough blame to go around.

Why wouldn’t Hawks start 60 tonight?
- Colbyboy

He’ll start against Calgary tomorrow.

They held the Eagles to 16 points and had a chance to win on the foot of the placekicker. Forget the record, it's not like the Eagles have a bunch of chumps on the O-line or at QB.

Mitch didn't turn the ball over and passed for 303 yds. Not too hard to assess blame on this one and it doesn't lie with the offense or defense.

Do your job! Snap was good, placement was good, laces was good, unfortunately he choked. He's gone you can't jeapordize another playoff run, he's damaged goods now

Ward sucks

His nickname should be Hoover.

It is for me

Hawks to pp, Murphy tripped up.

Holy crap

Oh my dear lord, Keith. Night of firsts. 3-3.

Toronto - Did you see that?

I don't think so, White Kessel.

Kunitz and Keith scored? Who’s next, Dahlström or Manning?

Ward. En.

Do you mean Davidson?

Hawks to pp. Kahun tripped up. Start the third with 1:42 remaining.

Nah it was a bad kick, he pulled it, he's got to go

Do you have a video showing a partial block?!?!
- EnzoD

I didn't see the video, I saw a picture of the Eagles' defender's hand in the locker room with him saying he got the ball. I'm trying to find it - or other angles of the kick that might show it better. the view from behind is tough to determine. It seems like the ball changes course but it's pretty fuzzy on my computer.

update: per the twitter, a lot of others are reporting the partial block now, fwiw

I see the video he's close but typically the only altered course of the ball if partially blocked is up off the finger tips so unfortunately he pulled it already

He made the 1st one so Codey Parkey...

with Keith and Kunitz scoring goals tonight, Dahlstrom and Davidson are the only guys on the current roster who remain goalless this season for the Blackhawks.

Short kick you need height to be sure - all on the kicker

and the GM that signed him and then kept him on the roster. Did they even bring in other guys to try out earlier this season?

Yep there was no penetration if you can't kick a 42 yard field goal and put it over the jumping dmen that's on the kicker. I agree and if Pace keeps him and they lose another playoff game because of Parkey, he'l be looking for a new job as well, even if Mitch becomes a franchise QB

Strome, 4-3! Great pp keeps.

twice now Blackhawks have scored seconds after their PP expired. progress
