Post-Game Talk: Hawks double up the Jets, win 6-3

[No Fun Shogun]

Was dicey there for a bit, but a big third period was what was needed.

And certainly can't complain about being 3-0 against those guys, too.

Crawford settled down and came up big early in 3rd period.. After that the Hawks built a cushion and didn't look back

Toews with my #1 star.

Dominated the faceoffs 40-23. What is our percentage this year? it seems to be much better than last year.

Hawks are 52.4% at the dot this season (6th in NHL)...last season they were 50.8% (11th in NHL). You would think an improved FO% would help out the PK.

Nice win despite chippy Jet play. What's the consensus from Jets fans on Evander Kane do they hate him?

It's definitely better.

Toews, as one of the best faceoff men in the league, has always skewed our team average in the past. But Kruger's really stepped up this year, winning 54% of his draws.

Unfortunately, Pirri and Shaw are still pretty bad in the dot, but oh well.

Pirri was 6-1 on faceoffs tonight.

 

[Sevanston]

Pirri was 6-1 on faceoffs tonight.

Unfortunately I didn't get to see the game tonight.

But Pirri is 44.9% on 176 total faceoffs this season. Shaw is even worse at 43.6% on 243 faceoffs.

Despite normally stellar FO numbers, Toews is like 20% or something weirdly horrible on the pk

 

[CS85]

Pirri played some solid defense too. Not incredible but he's growing really quickly. Just outshadowed by the great play of Saad.

 

[Salvaged Ship]

I thought Morin made some nice plays tonight

 

[Salvaged Ship]

Toews was the man tonight

Hawks audio: Coach Q, Toews, Keith and Crawford.

Your team put on clinic. Unbelievable to watch.

Not understanding the cockiness of Faried, looks like a punk. No wonder the Knicks want him

Que?

 

[IU Hawks fan]

Never mind

 

[Salvaged Ship]

Que?

Yeah, i meant to post that on a Bulls board.....

 

[RomersWorld*]

I see how those Southeast stars liked to rack up points last year.

I see how those Southeast stars liked to rack up points last year.

As long as Big Buff is one of their better defensemen, the Hawks forwards should feast on the Jets. He's so ****ing bad in his own zone.

 

[clydesdale line]

8 of the 9 goals scored in this game were from current or ex blackhawks. (and the goal that wasn't.. Buff and Ladd assisted on)

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Man the Jets suck.

 

[Nothingman*]

I wish we played them 40 more times this year though….

 

[BobbyJet]

Very strong team effort. In particular, loved the play of Hossa, Toews, Ben Smith, Pirri and of course Kane.....

Q hit it on the head when he said the team "answered the bell" a couple of times. Jets aren't the strongest of teams but Hawks reminded me a bit of the 2010 team. Even when Hossa and Toews dominate like they did, the 4th line scores a huge goal to clinch the win .... love that.

 

[Beukeboom Fan]

Pirri played some solid defense too. Not incredible but he's growing really quickly. Just outshadowed by the great play of Saad.

I thought Morin made some nice plays tonight

Just wanted to say that I stongly agreed with both of these. Pirri, especially in the 3rd, made several noticable defensive plays. Also thought that Morin looked good with his limited icetime.
