In a late night transaction, the #Blackhawks have recalled center Brandon Pirri from Rockford and sent down Jimmy Hayes.

two pretty miserable PP's to start this one off.

[Butterscup1679666578]

there we go

[Butterscup1679666578]

good PK though

[Butterscup1679666578]

20 shots to 6, 3 PPs to 1, only up 1-0. sounds right.

[Guest]

this is ridiculous

[Butterscup1679666578]

last few PPs have been pretty solid. Crow was sick in that period.

[Guest]

sharp is cursed. he's flying around the ice though.

[Butterscup1679666578]

yeah there it is

[bcl412]

Why can't we actually cash in on all the chances and blow someone out?

[Butterscup1679666578]

Good period.

[kujay]

Saad is so nasty. Just gotta bury those.

[bcl412]

[expletive]

[Butterscup1679666578]

the lackluster 3rd periods are getting annoying.

[Soul]

Why collapse and play OT when you don't have to?

[Butterscup1679666578]

crawford, wow.

[Butterscup1679666578]

piss poor.

[kujay]

I know this is one of the premier games on th Carolina home schedule, but I'm impressed/surprised at their fan support.

[UMFan83]

I'll take it

[bcl412]

Do it easier next time.

[Butterscup1679666578]

W.

[Soul]

That was fun, if unnecessary

[Guest]

crawford has been amazing the last 2 games.

[biittner77]

I'm pretty sure we won't see Rozsival for a while. Even Brookbank had to be shaking his head over that "performance".

 

Bollig has looked like something closely resembling an actual hockey player but I'd still rather see him in the press box. There's a 100% chance he plays Thursday though as Ryan Reeves isn't going to fight himself.

 

Assuming the first 2 lines stay the same, I'd like to see this sometime soon:

Saad-Kruger-Nordstrom

Smith-Pirri-Shaw

 

Corey Crawford is good. Nobody is excited or happy about the years on his new paper but last night was a good argument for giving him the money.

 

To start last season, everything was going in. This year, nothing. I guess that's just the way it goes sometimes.

[Banedon]

Yeah, Rosival was really bad last night. Really bad.

 

The Hawks have got to start finishing though. They get really great opportunities that they can't finish...a lot.

 

That Shaw-Saad-Nordstrom line is a lot of fun.
