The location of that shot was so dirty.

I'll take the W.

 

[TheMule93]

I would have been fuming had they managed to lose to the worst team in the league

Larkin with a 2 point night

 

[Flowah]

They don't like to make it easy

Yeah. On my heart.

Both Tats and Kronner scored in the same corner.

 

[Frk It]

Hopefully it gets Kronwall going.

I can't even count how many games I have watched where Larkin has been the best player. Honestly the kid is just freaking good.

 

[chances14]

nice to see kronwall finally get a goal and make up for his lazy effort on the last oilers goal

 

[Eggberto]

Overall I think they played very well tonight. Obviously you'd like them to ease up on some of the defensive lapses thay led to OT in the first place, but as you said a win is a win and we aren't in a position to complain about how. "If" is all that matters.

He's still a bit rough around the edges. Penalties mostly. And blind passes going to no one. I expect him to figure it out quickly.

 

[Mantha Poodoo]

Dat Larkin kid though. I hate making such early comparisons but this guy really is shadows of Toews.

Hawks fans, feel free to cry blasphemy if you're here. I don't care!

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Wings are the cardiac kids. Nice snipe by Kronner.

 

[theYman]

Good god does this team miss Lidstrom. All these blown leads and oTs wouldnt be happening if he was still here.

Even still, he impacts the game a lot in other ways IMO.

Kronwall's face after scoring

For sure. Just saying there are parts of his game that need to be ironed out. But for a teenaged rookie he's far ahead of where our prospects usually are.

I think he's on a 60 point pace? For a rookie? Holy moly.

 

[theYman]

Larkin with 2 more points and a goal? **** this kid is good!

 

[SoupGuru]

I'm not sure I agree that they should be handing out plusses and minusses in OT.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Larkin
Nyquist
Tatar

We were outshooting them badly at one point. We have improved a lot last 5-7 games. Now we have to put it together.

Where is Datsyuk ?

 

[Vladdy84]

I'll take it.

 

[Kronwalled55]

They blew a ton of leads in 2010 and 2011.

Yeah, he has to improve in some areas... but that goal and then OT assist in this game?

I mean... good lord. He is tied for 2nd on the team in points!

Edit: Leading all rookies in goals, and most shots on the team too.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

He's going to be joy to watch for years to come, That's for sure.

 

[ap3x]

**** that win. Pathetic.

 

[aar000n]

The Islanders goalie just let 5 people score on a shootout.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Bad giveaway by Helm and a softY by Howard this game never should've gone to OT but oh well we pull it out in OT and still haven't gone to a SO yet.
