2013 game 12 never happened.
Chicago fans travel everywhere for every sport.
The only positive - and I mean only - is the Blum had a great game tonight. He needs more ice time.
SOG 10-3 in the first looks like Hawks dominating but scoring chances were a whole lot more equal; the complaint, regardless, would be converting and we were woeful.
Fisher looked dreadful; Leggy wasn't great but serviceable - if ever there was a night to run Wilson or Smith out there as center for a period with Erat and the other as a wing that was it.
Josi looked terrible; I don't really recall the last few so I'm not sure it's a pattern, but the 7man rotation doesn't seem to be helping him.
Clune - I sure love his heart but we really can't afford to run a guy out there that doesn't at least have Tootoo's potential to contribute on offense. This week sure seems like a good one to bring up a kid and let him play some shifts with Goose and Hals....
I'm sorry, but Blum got burned twice with guys flying around him in NZ/at blueline and he took his sweet-a$$ time on that change that cost us a goal.
That said, we need to roll Hals instead of either Gill or Hannan this week - Blum has played well-enough.
Gill ok? Didn't play in the 3rd
Fisher looked dreadful
Chicago is just really good. I dont know what else to say. It's insane that they're 10-0-2 and have played 10 road games. They're about to play seven straight at home.
They'll obviously cool off a little, but I still think they're easily the best team in the westThey are peaking too early.
this was the 2nd time we sucked in the 3rd game of the 3rd game in 4 nights trek. something to watch for the rest of the year as we are not handling it well. But I wonder, who is?
It doesn't say much for our team that we're worried a team has lost 5 straight games. Not saying it isn't warranted, just pointing it out.I was disappointed with Josi's game. First time I've ever said that. Oh well. Sharks will be pissed that the Jackets spanked them 6-2. We better show up for this one.
