Nice game. Fun to watch. Hawks win 4-3.
-Crawford was strong. 2 of his goals were pretty big defensive errors by the Hawks and 1 was a redirect off a skate in front of the net.
-Kane looked fantastic. Created a lot of chances and didn't convert on some of his own, but he looked really strong. 1g, 2a.
-Kane and Hossa together was really fun to see. Two wizards creating a lot of chances. Like Eddie O mentioned- a few too many passes on some chances, but it's hard to deny the pure skill that's on the ice with them paired up.
-3rd line didn't see a lot of ice (partially due to a lot of special teams play in the game) and didn't really leave much of an impression.
-The hit on Ben Smith was pretty brutal. Not even close to being a borderline hit. Suspension necessary.
-Brunette showed some promise... a few nice passes... chemistry with Toews.
-I liked the 4th line. I like Mayers.
edit: almost forgot... Seabrook had a nice game. A few nice hits and a bomb of a slapshot to score on the powerplay. Picking up where he left off last season. VERY nice. On the other hand, not a good game by Hjalmarsson.
