So awkward not seeing Hossa out for the first star.

Record is fine & dandy. I'm worried Hoss is donezo for awhile.

That is definitely my concern. If it is a concussion, there is no telling how long he might be out considering the amount of time that it took for him to recover from his last one. I know that the hit wasn't quite as bad this time, but you just can't tell.

I hope Emery reviews this tape closely. You can spot all of his weaknesses in this game and the Flames game. He's done a decent job of staying up on flat pucks after the Flames game, now he needs to get slightly wider off the blind post while keeping his left glove off his knee.

Not that I am promoting any sort of goonery, but Monday, April 22nd would be a great day to see a couple of guys from the Rock called up due to some phantom injuries in the line-up. This team should be easily locked into the playoffs, and it would be nice to see them rough up the Canucks a bit in Vancouver.

hope Seabs returns on Friday because Opuya is reverting back to form.

Anybody give a **** that we just won? I sure as **** don't, and Canucks fans comments on NHL.com (Ya, I read them sometimes) are the most sickening thing I've seen since Phoenix... besides the hit.
"Going for the puck and reaching for it" my ass, arms weren't even outstretched, unless he grabs pucks with his elbow. /rantaboutretardsonothersitesover
Afraid this is the beginning of the end for the Boss.

I like how Jntg thinks he's Barry Melrose Jr of hockey now.

Was at the game last night and the crowd was definitely into it big time. Definitely a different crowd from all the families I saw on Sunday vs LA.
The Hossa hit...I have 3 games for Hansen. It is an elbow to the back of the head of a defenseless player. There is no reason to get your hands up on a play like that. I wouldn't be surprised if he receives more than 3, but I believe Keith's hit to Sedin last year was worse and Keith only got 5. Really hoping Hossa is okay but have to be worried after last year's concussion. Time for this fast start to pay off and for someone from Rockford to possibly step up in a big way. Carcillo is ready to return but the Blackhawks need some more pop offensively with Hossa possibly out.
I thought the Blackhawks played a good game last night. They didn't bury their chances in the 3rd period which came back to haunt them. Schneider played very well. I thought that Bolland, Saad, Kruger, and Bickell just had "meh" games for the Blackhawks last night. Shaw, Stalberg, and Sharp all had good games. Sharp is finally coming around over the last few games and showing some life...second time in three games that Sharp dropped the gloves in a scrum (even though he didn't end up throwing) which is good to see for a variety of reasons. Shaw took a beating all night in front of the net and set up a nice screen on the Hossa goal.
Emery had an okay game with the first goal being weak. Hard to blame him on the next two goals as he was just completely screened. Big saves in the shootout and got the Hawks two points at the end of the day.
Love the way the defense is playing. Oduya still hasn't hit the stride that he did last regular season, but at the end of the day he does take a big load off Seabrook/Keith (along with Hammer who is playing great this year) which is definitely helping out all together. Having Rozsival/Brookbank as the #6/7 instead of Scott/Lepisto/O'Donnell is paying off big time as well. Two good signings this offseason in those two dmen.
A big game Friday versus a San Jose team that finally got a win versus St. Louis last night. Hopefully the return of Crawford/Carcillo can take place in this game as both have supposedly been skating, with Carcillo skating with the team.

Some people want 10 games for Jannik Hansen?
Sorry, that is maybe fine worthy. Agree to disagree.

10 games is a stretch.

Well, it is supposedly a phone call with the league (not an in person meeting) so it will be 5 games max.

Damn, I agree with Joe.. I'm not even sure if its worth a fine, although I could see the NHL fine him and a game just to placate Chicago fans. I personally didn't see anything over-the-top with it, he was trying to bat the puck down with his hand and Hossa's head was in the way.

It also helps Hansen's case that he doesn't have a history for this sort of thing like Torres does(did).

Hansen has never been suspended by the NHL (has in international play) but he does have a recent history of some questionable plays.

These are the two (can only post one video per post, so the next one will be in the post below) I have seen brought up after last night's hit. I think he gets 3 games just because at the end of the day it is a hit to the head of a defenseless player; something the league is trying to get rid of in a big way.
