It's the final prolonged road trip of the season kicking off tonight, with the Hawks next four games coming away from the United Center. Only one of those four opponents is a potential playoff qualifier, so if there was ever a time for the Hawks to turn around this recent slide, the upcoming week would seem to be it. And they'd be wise to do it soon, with Nashville suddenly just two points behind the Hawks in the standings. If Chicago falls to the wild card spot, that could result in a first-round matchup with LA or Anaheim. I don't think we want to see that til the WCF.

LET'S GO HAWKS!

Also no team in the NHL has given up more goals this season than Calgary.

Which now means that the Hawks will get shutout tonight.

It will be interesting to see how Krugs does on faceoffs with his bum hand/wrist.

 

[DMelt36]

Darling is in net.

 

[DMelt36]

Svedberg in on D tonight, Gustafsson and Ehrhoff out.

 

[Spunky Porkstacker]

Rumor is Crawford is concussed from a hit he took in the Blues game.

 

[Spunky Porkstacker]

Hopefully they have Mario Cart with them on this trip, probably what they need to get back to their winning ways.

on espn2 starting right now at 5 is nccaa enter to frozen four game with North Dakota vs Michigan. Schmaltz and Motte vs eachother... and technically I suppose whichever team losses could have the possibility of their player getting signed pretty soon by the Hawks.

That was one hell of a game. Motte looks better each time I watch him play.

 

[DMelt36]

Damn uneventful first period, that one.

 

[DMelt36]

Calgary is bad.

The team D owes Darling a 5 course meal, plus a Thai massage with a happy ending for bailing their asses out in this game.
