11/16 - Blackhawks vs Panthers - 6-2 Win
- The big news was losing Corey Crawford with an apparent groin injury. Antti Raanta came in and filled in great, with 29 saves.
- Three of the Hawks goals ere on the powerplay, which propelled them to a top 5 position. I'll take that. The firt one was 1:10 into the game and they never looked back.
- Shooter (1G, 2A) and Kaner (3A) each had 3 points. Money players, earning that cabbage.
- Former Hawk Dylan Olsen bit his former team in the ass, with a goal to break the shutout, in the second period. The other most recent former Blackhawk, Jimmy Hayes, led the Panthers with 4 hits.
- The Hawks were over 50% at the dots. Good stuff.
Here are the video highlights: 11/17 - Blackhawks at Dallas - 6-2 Win - Like their previous game, the Hawks came out Paul Walker style. Fast and Furious (too soon?). Thor, Michael Kostka, scored in his first shift back from injury.
- Sharp and Saad each had two goals; IN THE SECOND PERIOD.
- J-Mo had a hell of a third period, earning himself 16 minutes in penalties.
- How the Hawks let noted dick cheese, Antoine Roussel, get two goals is beyond me. Fuck that guy, seriously.
- After 4 goals, the Hawks chased Kari Lehtonen from the game. Dan Ellis didn't fare much better.
- Deuce and Carter Seven were each plus 3. That's what you want from your top pair.
Here are the video highlights: 11/19 - Blackhawks vs Flyers - 7-2 win - The Flyers are just a bunch of dumb asses several times they took cheep shots behind the play. I hope they rot in futility like St. Louis. The Hawks gave up a 1-0 first period deficit and opened up the flood gates in the second, with 5 goals.
- Even though the Hawks won by such a large margin, they still managed to give up two powerplay goals. Second worst penalty kill in the league. How does this happen after having one of the best last season?
- Sharp had a goal and two assists, while Hossa had 3 apples himself. Even though he didn't have any points, Hjalmarsson was a plus 3 to lead the Hawks
- The Hawks were at 58% as far as faceoffs go. Kruger took the most faceoffs of any Hawks center and won 11 of 14 (79%). None of the Flyers centers were over 50%
- The Hawks scored two powerplay goals (Keith, Sharp) and a shorthanded goal (Handzus) themselves.
- Ray Emery was pretty terrible. He didn't exactly have much help in front of him but some of the goals, specifically the Seabrook one, were awful.
