Nobody in a hawks uni played well. Fellow Hawks fans can blame the refs on that Toews call, but they lost that game cause the collectively played like crap.
I think blackhawks were lucky they weren't blown out. I think they didn't have a good game in many way. The 4 or 5 odd man breaks and the two breakaways are sure sign of that. They got back in the game and like most good teams do, they almost made something of it.
Meanwhile I have no sympathy on the Toews penalty. It was weak. But, Toews was clearly holding Oprik's stick on the 5 on 3 right in front of a referee and got away with it. No excuse for that. So, lets call the 3rd period penalty a make up call.
Bad calls happen in NHL games all the time. Kill it.
