How did we win this game????
That was probably the ugliest win I can recall, Anaheim should have won about 5 times.
But we got a lot of help from Corey Crawford (as well as Corey Crossbar ), and sometimes I can't help but think this team is a little bit magical. Just keep finding ways to win games they shouldn't.
Hoping the boys can get some good rest tomorrow. The UC crowd will be a nice boost, and despite the puck possession domination by the Ducks coming back to Chicago tied 1-1 is about as much as we can ask for. This is a really good team they're playing, the Hawks need to step it up for the next two games.
Bickell is awful. Seriously, get him out of there. Tonight may have been the worst game of his career. Saad really needs to step up too, and Kane is still MIA for the moment. If those guys can get it together, I like our chances.

Yep. Clendening, who couldn't crack the top 6 for the Vancouver Canucks, would have been key in this series.
I'd hate if we trade Krüger. Would lose interest for about 10-20 Games
We could have won it about 10 times over with the great looks we had too.
A post is just a missed shot.
We earned that win.
fwiw Stanton and Clendenning were actually good for us and both should have been in our top 6 over sbisaYep. Clendening, who couldn't crack the top 6 for the Vancouver Canucks, would have been key in this series.
Oduya was great and Shaw had arguably his best game of the year.

I'm not sure what Q is going to do with the Kane line.
We're going home, so matching lines will be easier for Q... but the Kane line was getting trucked all night by the Ducks 4th line. Well, their fourth line in name, 3rd line in ice-time.
He could try and put him out against the Rakell line, who Boudreau shelters almost as hard as Q shelters our 2nd line, but that won't work all game, because they barely play. That line saw as much ice-time as Timonen did over a 3OT game.
So that's going to leave a good chunk of time that he needs to play against Getzlaf (gulp), Kesler (double gulp), or the Thompson line (triple gulp).
I think Q needs to swap Saad and Bickell honestly.
Bickell-Toews-Kane
Saad-Richards-Hossa
Sharp-Vermette-TT
Desi-Kruger-Shaw
Toews and Kane play together when they win cups. Lets roll with it again this year and see what happens. Get all three of those guys going.
Actually, maybe he puts Vermette up against Kesler, because Vermette absolutely smoked Kesler's in possession when the two played head-to-head.
God damn it's nice to have center depth.

Which is why I still do that trade, even with Vermette's lack of production.
