Well tough night all most pulled it out .Nice to see the kids score but it was like everyone got all kiddy and they handed the game right back to CLB . Highmore penalty was bad and the timing was terrible but you don't send him down this is what you get when you play the kids it's part of the deal . Missing a couple big pieces tonight that don't help a young team .Give CLB credit they never quit and deserved the win . Get them on Saturday . GO HAWKS !!!

You have the right attitude on the affair tonight. Lanky should be expected to come down off that high perch and suffer through a game like this. Very hard to be good each game. Probably give Lanky one game off especially since we play Columbus again Saturday. Give Subban the start.
Young team like this also know that we had a whole lot of inexperience patrolling the blueline: Mitchell, Beaudin, Carlsson, Bowey. Same situation should Boqvist swap out.with one of them.
A Tortarella coached team will outwork and has just enough talent. In fact, Torts had some young guys accepting roles and both Roslovic and Laine can score. They were missing Werenski though, so it is a.shame not to take advantage of his omission.
Tonight Carpenter and Wallmark could have helped. Highmore needs to play though. Just want to see progress with him. Anywsy so if Carpenter had been in for Highmore, where does Wallmark figure in?
I would love to see the kids with more TOI but that is difficult when you have so much youth on defense. Bowey had some nice plays and saw some ability. So why did two teams let him go. Afraid he plays more, we'll learn why.
