yah but i thought kopecky took a lot of draws. I could go look it up on NHL stats but im feeling lazy.

I'm too tired to care lol

Kopecky was 6th on the team in total faceoffs (31), 5th in faceoff wins (17), and 4th in faceoff percentage (54.8%). So no, he didn't really take that many face-offs, considering Madden took 200 more than him.

 

[Ton]

i did it anyways. he didnt take a lot of draws at all I was way off. Madden did I forgot about Madden. He and Sharp were decent enough that year in the playoffs. Bolland was only 39% wow I dont remember it being that bad. Is it possible Bolland has actually improved since 2010 in the circle?

Nah, he was just remarkably worse during the playoffs that year than he ever was in his career.

Ton why don't you recommend us a fancy centerman to get on Twitter so it can be an official rumor?



How about it fancypants?

This game should never have gone to OT.

Exactly. good thing Q had his secret weapon for shootouts ready. I mean did anyone really expect Rosival on the shoot out or for him to make such a slick deek and bury the the puck top shelf over a flailing pecker?

I literally said to myself... oh shit, has he actually ever done this before? You'll notice the tv guys didn't even get graphics up for him.

0 for 0 isn't part of the graphics package. It's $129.99 extra. They said...Meh.

I was expecting, Stalberg, or Morin, or Leddy.



Rosy, nah.

Shouldn't have gone to O/T. based on the recap/radio feed, 1st goal we allowed was indeed weaksause. 2nd one was courtesy of a Keith turnover and the obligatory 3rd period defensive meltdown and ensuing chinese firedrill in our own end.



Based on the results of the game: Survey says....Good enough.



Whenever one of our goalies bobbles a puck, plays out of position, whenever a defender coughs it up at our blueline or makes a no-look Pass to Nowhere, aand/or whenever a FWD tries to skate across the opposing blueline through twice their weight in defenders, could we please let them sit an hour in a hot tub filled with pigshit heated to 100 degrees?

Once again, I will say, this is another game to display why I like and think we play better away then we do at home.

1st one was very weak, sure, first time all year he's let in a goal that everyone can agree was a peeshit... but he made some pretty good saves anyway so it evens out in my mind, plus bailed the Hawks out in the shootout. He had a stat line pretty similar to what he has done all year: 0.926 sv% and GAA just under 2.00.



The 2nd one, it is what it is... 2-on-1, Crawford took the shooter, Hornqvist (a Sharp-like sniper) passed it, Keith missed it, Crawford tried to make the desperation save, Beck shot, Corey got a piece and it rolled in. Tough luck, but I wouldn't call it "weak" at all. The defense left him out to dry 4-5 times in the first 7 minutes of that 3rd period, I believe they had 10 shots or something in that first 7 minutes.

Well Crawford had to get some work in...



The Hawks completely dominated the first 40min...Craw may have fallen asleep, hence the first goal....as well as spotting him a touchdown in DET on sunday

He still made 33 saves against Detroit on 34 shots... while the Blackhawks "peppered" Detroit with 26 shots, and their goalies only made 19 saves combined.



I guess he needs to have a shutout every game for people to be happy.

 

[PatrickShart]

Shut out? no...just don't let goals in that weren't even shots on goal
