Great rapid-fire job, all the goals came in bunches. Toews and Stalberg stay hot, and Crawford comes back strong. Pirri is solid in the faceoff circle. GREAT game.

Stalberg stays hot? Not sure if I get it..

Toews and Sharp stay hot, for sure.

Super dull game coming off that fast, hard hitting Pittsburgh game. To be expected with Montreal... they're a mess. Pretty sure the crowd was asleep til the Hawks first two goals.

Good to see the Hawks burn enough calories to pot 5 goals and make for a nice comeback for Crawford.

Toews and Sharp are both within 2 of the league lead (Toews tied for 1st, Sharp 2 behind).

A lot of positives from this one.

Stalberg and Bickell producing will make this team even more of an offensive juggernaut.

Keith has rebounded quite well from his struggles a month ago.

Leddy is playing some solid hockey.

Crawford's paddle save was awesome.

It's great to see PK get taken advantage of. Thanks Bickell.

Vancouver within a point of the Wild, seems like we both need to go to the Conference Finals if we are to match up.

Personally, I want the Conference Finals to be:
2009 Champions Pittsburgh Penguins @ 2011 Champions Boston Bruins
2008 Champions Detroit Red Wings @ 2010 Champions Chicago Blackhawks

If we can get 2-3 goals a week from stalberg/bickell that would be amazing (yes I said per WEEK...thats all we need tbh with the talented goal scorers we have)

Keith looks like a whole new player

Leddy is finally showing he is turning into the Brian Campbell type player ( at 6 mil cheaper price! :yeah:)

Craw's paddle save was filthy

Stalberg has been great. Q said that he put him on the third line to see if he could get the line going and it worked.

Crawford was great in his return. He had that amazing save. Only one goal allowed and it was a deflection. Not much he could do.

Toews and Sharp are still fighting to see who can have the most goals at the end of the year and so far Toews is winning.

It was a great game to have after that tough, physical game in Pittsburgh.

Toews is beating everybody not named Steven Stamkos (tied).

In goals? Wow. Didn't realize Stamkos was that high. Kessel has slowed down a little. Giroux isn't in the top five because of his concussion. Also surprised to see that Neal is up there. All those great passes from Malkin are helping him out.

Giroux leads in points though.

Another surprising stat: The Blues new goalie leads in all goaltending stats except for wins. I knew his was good, but wow.

Yeah. He's been outstanding. If Halak gets back to the way he was early in the season last year, they can be a good tandum.

He was solid in Ottawa to. They obviously upgraded with Anderson but Elliot is a solid tender.
