Back in Johnny's home town where the Hawks have not lost since 1996.
It only took 1:07 for Carcillo to get the challenge from Thorburn. I give the decision to Thorburn although he did land a lot of his shots on the pads and helmet. Carcillo gets the points for the take down.
Rundblad looses a 2 on 1 on the boards then can't get in position when Scheifele receives a pass right on the tape from referee Steve Kozari. For his effort, Rundblad gets to join Raanta on the bench for the rest of the period. Give him 1:38 of play time in the first and then he only gets another 2:12 in the second to finigh the game with 3:50. The real problem was that Keith was expecting the puck to come out to the middle before Kozari kicked it away which is what left the front of the net open. We'll probably see Erixon on Sunday but I do not agree with this call from Q.
Power play. What power play? Still not fixed.
While getting out hit 16-6 in the first they were also losing face offs 11-5 at the end of the first. They finally came back to even by the end of the third and fell short by one.
SOG were few and fair between but Kane with a great feed to Saad who scores on the 3rd shot of the OT.
This was a fun, yet a little stressful, game to watch. These teams would put on a great playoff series.
