Hawks to pk, Kampf tripping.

Toews shorthander. 3-2. Beauty pass by Krugs.

Thing of beauty by Captain Serious!!!

that might be the goal that sparks them to a comeback win...preds got lazy and toews converts

Each game that goes by it's harder and harder to believe the kid is 19 yrs old. Kid is for real!

He’s the future #1 d, I give him 2 years until he’s a force. Next year should be pretty good too.

I can't remember the last shortie scored by the Blackhawks, great way to end the period!

There are some things I like so far about Caligula. Speed (disruptive), darts, will play the body and I wonder if his energy will be infectious to his linemates. ........ Haven't seen enough of him either way as a Hawk.

Agreed, he's Jack Skille 2.0 . On the bright side, he's saving us $750K in cap space over Manning.

Nice break-up by Josi. Strome couldn't finish a bouncing puck.

Pierre talking about liking wood. Well, he admitted what we already knew.

Hawks to pp, dog penalty.

Why do they all seem to think that Kane needs to touch the puck before every shot, no matter how well covered he is?

Strome should have shot that initially - maybe get a rebound over to Kane with a better angle.

Regardless of the outcome tonight, this team is clearly a better team than they were 5 weeks ago.

Finally a power play. Better scheme and personell. The age of insanity is finally over.

Have to be proud of the compete level with this group. they are fighting.

I thought the same thing. Shoot off the pads and clean-up the garbage.

Also the problem of a young kid playing with a superstar, if I had to guess.

NBC guys said essentially the same thing. A few weeks ago people shaking their heads at how bad the Hawks had gotten. Now, they're giving some of the best teams in the NHL a tough battle.

Like to see JC put Dcat with Kaner and Strome to finish the game.

I'm pretty sure Mike said, "The hawks were playing like bleh."

YES! That's where I'd like to see him play quite a few shifts. You see the chemistry (reminiscent of, if not quite like, Panarin/Kane) during the PPs.

ETA: Speaking of Panarin - Columbus pulling out all the stops - distillery offered him free vodka for life and Atkinson promises to pass to him more:

Yep, even when they lose it's usually a game worth watching. The past couple of years Q was letting that team take the night off on a regular basis.

Anisomov has been invisible tonight. Need a spark. Kane and Dcat have it going tonight

Sad is nonexistent tonight

thinking same grit,iamfinally enjoying watching every minute again. up to that time,for about a year they did not know how to compete for 60 minutes. it willbe worth a trip to see them at United before Fla in feb

To my eye Gus being exposed against a very good team. Thoughts?

You can definitely get some good deals on great seats (as if the Hawks haven't made that perfectly clear to you already in 1000 emails and ads every break )

Hatman closed his hand on the puck, you plainly saw him drop it with his palms facing the ice. Really, what are the refs watching?
