Getting the Devil out

As #TraceyMyers has been saying the Hawks came out looking discombobulated. On top of it Crawford lets one in that should have been stopped.

On the good side we got to see Hartman and Comisky. Hartman gives a huge hit 8 seconds in to his first shift in the NHL. He continued to play a rough and tough game and could have a role in the playoffs. Comisky played some great defense and stepped in up front like a Blackhawk. Toews compared him to Nick Leddy due to his speed.

Hossa with the goal and then an assist on the Toews goal. that was great pressing by Toews on that goal. It was good to see Johnny score as it appeared that he accidentally  used teflon tape on his stick instead of sticky tape. He just could bee to keep anything on his blade all night.

To continue my rant about the defensive pairing, Hammer and Oduya looked good together and were able to clear the zone and move the puck forward. They look MUCH better together than they do when they are split up.

It took almost 30 minutes but the Hawks finally turned themselves around, for the most part, and started playing some better hockey. Let's see if they can keep on playing during the Sunday matinee against the flightless birds.
