I guess that's why they call them the Blues.

The Hawks inch closer to the Blues today with the victory. Good to get that win in the last game on the road, especially against a strong division team. It was good to see Kruger finally score. He as been playing well as you can tell by all the shots he has been taking from the opposing teams. I was also glad to see Carcillo making the feed to set him up on the play.

Toews made Oshie look foolish as he stepped around him on one play. Tarasenko returned the favor by making Crawford look like he dropped his drawers. Unfortunately Tarasenko scored and Toews did not.

It was good to see the power play work. Hossa indicated that he scored on a set play pass from Saad. Said Hoss, "That was a pretty set play and I'm glad it worked." It was a dandy.

I little scrimmage with Carcillo and Ott was hardly worth the penalty time.

So the Blackhawks now return home for an important 8 game stretch. We start with Coyotes who we embarrassed earlier on this road trip.
