Just beat them. I'm done with being their *****. You get a lead, hold it. Ducks are not as good on the road as they are at home. Play like you want to be there. Play like the champs. And don't blow it in OT or SO

I don't even want them to go get there. Beat these guys in regulation.

Feels like it's been awhile since the Hawks had a "big" regular season game. Hopefully that gets a little jump in their step tonight.

Should be a good close game.

Nice win Hawks. It's about time we get this teams number

 

[CreepyBasementGuy]

A great win for the Hawks! Bickell with a goal too :clap:

 

[DMelt36]

Just watched it on DVR delay.

Man, except for a bad bad Hjalmarsson turnover and then a weak goal by Crawford, thought the Hawks rather dominated this game.

Versteeg injured though, listed day-to-day

It was mentioned a few times last night that Leddy was having a pretty solid game. Second game in a row that Rozsival played in. Would like to see some stability on the back end for Leddy and not go with the complete rotation of 3 guys that we have seen all year. Has to be pretty tough on a player like Leddy considering all those guys have pretty different playing styles and different attributes. I think Rozsival has had a pretty down season after last year, but maybe a little consistency in the lineup would do him some good too. Wouldn't mind seeing him in atleast 4 out of every 5 games, that should be plenty of rest for him.

 

[DMelt36]

I agree, but I still think you're going to see a rotation with that 6th D-man spot to keep Rozsival fresh this season.

I think Rozsival will be the guy that takes that spot over permanently in the postseason.
