Another great effort.

Nice to see the Hawks play like this against teams on the downswing like Anaheim and New York... but would be nice see then take down a top team.

This subject coming up in tomorrow's blog.

Agreed.

Let's give them credit for not slowing down and closing out a game. We haven't seen that for 3 years.

I'll add this...the Hawks put some jump into that 3rd line moving Fortin and Schmaltz there. Much better than having 3 slow guys on line 3.

Seems right now, calling up Fortin is looking like a good decision.

Speed kills. Fortincouldn't be healthy or survive AHL level, and thrives in high pressure and moves in all the right directions with speed. Watch him.

Minus the Tampa and AZ games, this team has been a treat to watch every night. Team speed seems vastly improved from last year.

That's hockey!

Good to have the boys back and some life with fire! We have missed that for at least 2 years! Honestly the Blue leafs game is a DVR saver for life!

Haha, I'm still in school, but I try to be culturally knowledgeable in a lot of different aspects. I admit I can be too much here.

I'm going to admit to a sin, but I have a degree in English. Watching movies over reading books ...
I'm back at school to get my teaching certificate.
Nice to know you come from a similar area.

Thanks, but I got to get my ass in gear.
Absolutely no hockey fans in Richton Park, but basketball is well liked.
Crow should get the belt every night.

I don't like other millenials.
Crow should have gotten the award, I agree. Awesome you were there!!!
It was destiny when I joined hahaha. Happy belated b-day.
I've been a long time reader, just started posting out of the blue. I don't do twitter or Facebook or anything like that, but like hockey. I was reading when JJ did rumors, really like how Justin runs the place.

My bro's either, they're not typical. Long story.

Glad you're posting and a fan who's involved.

Justin runs a good shop. We should be grateful for all of the healthy hockey talk (although sometimes it veers off) but for the most part all the old school guys and new school are just passionate hockey fans. As much as we know how to run the FO of hawkeytown. These guys couldn't balance a checkbook with their wife spending all the money!

Enough speed improvement to keep up with Colorado, Nashville, Winnipeg, San Jose, TB, Toronto...?

If they do anything for a D-man, I think it will be for immediate help and not necessarily for the future. They seem to be really happy with their pipeline of talent, and they have a need right now for a Defenseman who is worth his contract.

If you are trading Schmaltz, I would think you would need to get another center back. I would like to see a true center who can be responsible on both ends and put up 50-60pts. Unfortunately, those typically are expensive and rare.

When he was called up I said I hoped he was one of those unique players who excell the higher the competition is. He seems to be such a player. His 2 goals is a few games in the NHL are 50% of all the goals (4) he got last year in the AHL.

Speed is important but it can be somewhat offset by smart play and positioning.

As important as speed is high motor (compete, energy, will, desire, fight, enthusiasm). From the captain on down we are seeing more of that.

One of my all time favorite Crow moments!!!

They gave us a lot of great hockey in such a short span. It's funny to think how if you rewind some years, Kane gave a little speech, then leaned over the rails to puke because he was so hungover.

With all of the past reminiscings, this team looks to be getting better and better. Playoff worthy, yes, Stanley Cup worthy, bit of a stretch. They have exceeded my expectations by a mile.
