Dcat! Nice pass by Kane.

Nice

Agree with LA, Dach ends up on his ass a lot.

WSH may still be in shock from what FLA did to them the other night, but that was a pretty good period by the Blackhawks against a superior opponent.

Slavin didn’t look out of place, a couple nice plays in the D zone, some PK time, and involved in a scoring opportunity.

Hawks win the 1st period ‘all situations’ Corsi battle 19-16.

5 v 5 19-14

It was, to me they really gave up one golden opportunity and that was right before we scored because they couldn't.

2nd period, I'm imagining at least 15 SOG, it'll be interesting

High center of gravity.

Slavin with three SOG in the first, maybe he can play RW with Borgstrom and Kubalik, that line needs a someone with more offense on right side. Khaira needs to be on the fourth line.

It's too bad Hardman can't bury a breakaway shot, what's that 3 or 4 this season

Maybe he's got what Kampf had when he wore a Blackhawks sweater

You should invest in an abacus.

Slavin was 5th highest Blackhawk for Corsi for relative, behind Hagel, Toews, Kane & S. Jones.

Decent first. Slavin good.
What does #16 really give the Hawks?

Looked like a clean check, but it’ll be 5 defensemen the rest of the night.

Was a clean check all the way.

And Gus let the goal scorer skate right by him.

The Caps return the favor with a tic tac toe play.

56 and 16 can be replaced anytime we find someone better. Is there no one better?

To bad Hagel didn't shoot that puck instead trying to force it to 88

Yea, threw Slavin right in there, no sheltering, right to the PK. Kid is showing poise. His hands seem much improved.

Just watching period after period under King and there is no clown show stretches. When it goes sideways it doesn't stay that way. Simply said there is structure and they work from it. Which means they always look like they're in it.

Its always been 5 defenseman. Murphy is a pylon and is hot garbage.

Missed the first because of work, but this seems really good

@CRoumeliotis
#Blackhawks top line of Hagel-Toews-Kane in the first period at even strength, per
@NatStatTrick

• 9 shot attempts for, 1 against
• 5 shots on goal for, 1 against
• 4 scoring chances for, 0 against
• 3 high-danger chances for, 0 against

(frank)ing Dach, so indecisive

There should be a fine jar in the room for every player who has a shot opportunity and loses the puck by trying to pass instead. C'mon Kirby!
