Post-Game Talk: 2/5/14: Crow > Duck

[cupojoe]

Hawks with a shutout against the best team in the league. and its an away game

safe to say the Hawks are getting their game back

Wasn't much of an away game though. Still impressive win and lets end on a winning streak into the Olympic break!

 

[deytookerjaabs]

Wait, Kane isn't playing on Friday?

...Funeral to attend I imagine.

Then, of course, that whole Olympic thing.

 

[Marina]

Maybe his grandfathers funeral

Oh, right.

This is the first game this year where the hawks reminded me of last years team. Great PK. Awesome team D. Stellar Crawford. Bickel looking better making plays and winning battles. Toews with a huge goal.

 

[Kurtosis]

Great win. I don't think much more than that needs to be said.

 

[chimairainc]

holy **** the Ducks are on a 3 game losing streak

sheesh i thought we had it bad

 

[Salvaged Ship]

Oduya out, Hawks shutout on road against top NHL team. Coincidence?

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

The usual suspects aren't here lambasting Crawful. Hrmm.

Who cares about the crowd? They're 2000 miles from home AND had to change 1st.

You just messed with my perception of the hockey universe.

Hard to give him crap after this game. I suppose you will hear the "its about time" comment from someone and expectations he must do this every game forward.

Oduya has been on the crap side for a while, especially with turnovers.

I know, but as an important 4/2 D, depending on Q, that's something I don't want to think about. He's so lackadaisical when under pressure.

You're barking up the wrong tree, especially with turnovers:

Second highest to Hjarm, but more than Keith and Keith has played almost 300 more minutes. More of Oduya's giveaways seem to have cost us the season.

Which two defenseman on the Chicago Blackhawks draw the toughest defensive assignments?

I get it, the Oduya/ Hjarm combo. They have had some poor games lately, especially Oduya who likes to pass it to the opposition in scoring position. He has struggled lately clearing our zone.

Q said Oduya's day-to-day. Shouldn't affect him for the Olympics. #Blackhawks

Q on Hossa taking off practices/skates and playing well: "I think he likes that strategy." #Blackhawks

Crawford took a Bollig shot off his wrist in pregame warmups; stunned him a bit. Obviously didn't affect his game. #Blackhawks

Poor games?

Why don't you single out the culprits on the Chicago Blackhawks roster that were responsible for two shorthanded goals allowed on this road trip?

Yes.

Nice game.

 

[Cullksinikers]

I love Andrew Shaw. However, the penalties he takes around 200 feet from our net are getting old fast.

 

[Cullksinikers]

The PK looked like it was in Cup form tonight. The PP had solid movement. If we get that type of special teams performance in the playoffs, it will loom large.

Also:

Pirri >>>>>>>>>> 'Zus

You'll most likely get the double dip against the Phoenix Coyotes: Handzus and Pirri

No reason to sit Bickell. Two strong games in a row after being motivated by being benched isn't the right move or the likely move. Chances are, Pirri sits again.
