Great game last night.
Saad is gaining patience and confidence every game, thought he turned in one of his best games last night. Hossa, Kane, and Toews helped lead the way big time. Leddy also turned in a very solid game. Third line continues to be one of the best in the league, each player has picked it up big time from the first 5 or so games of the season.
Only person who I thought played a "poor" game was Hayes. He just looks out of place and can't keep up with the pace. He has some real nice soft hands for a big guy but his lack of wheels is hurting him big time. Also, don't let that 6'6" frame fool you...he rarely uses it which is a shame.
Monday should be a good game. Duchene is playing great and the Avs have a lot of exciting players to watch.

Not trying to throw is up as an "I told you so" moment but this was part of the reason why I always wanted Saad to stay on the top line with Toews and Hossa. We all saw the talent, and I know you agreed that Saad has some serious potential.
If the team is rolling along and winning as often as the Hawks were/are, then why not leave the youngster up with the those two players and allow his game time to develop? If Saad can get over the rookie mistakes in this regular season, that Saad/Toews/Hossa line is going to be fucking monstrous in the postseason this year.

My issue was never with Saad's talent or potential. I've been a fan of Saad, I just didn't think he complimented Toews/Hossa that well because he was similar to their playing style. Kind of a compliment in a lot of ways. In fact, I think still Saad would be great on Kane's left wing (would help out each players potentially more) because to me those two would compliment eachother immensely. However, no reason to change anything right now as he is doing a better job as of late. He is more patient/confident with the puck. In the early parts he was more of a 1 on 1 player who didn't maximize Toews/Hossa like he should have. Doing better and I'm loving every moment of it...well because I'm a Blackhawks fan.

Haha fair enough. From what I've read/heard that Toews line sounded particularly dominant last night.

They looked great and had some real nice dirty goals in the bluepaint. Hardwork last night by that line and most of the team.
My "concern" is the 2nd line. Kane is just completely dominating and he has been doing it with Hayes/Bolland...impressive. Would love to see Kane get some help so the love can be spread around even more. Kane is a man on a mission this year and if he had a finisher to dish to...watch out. Sharp was even having a down year this year, hopefully Sharp comes back ready and is able to get back to form quickly.

I feel for anyone having to listen to WGN Radio for the games...not that Weiderman & Murray are a problem. I think they
do a fine job. Its the Cubbyization of the broadcast that drives me crazy. Just like the Cubs, every fucking thing has a
sponsor. I feel for those two as they required to say over & over...."Citgo Petroleum Power Play". If it drives me nuts...
I can just imagine what it does to them.

Yeah, if Sharp comes back in his usual sniping form he and Kane are going to destroy some defensemen.
Just wish Bolland would win more draws so they could have more/better puck possession
