News/Notes​

• The Blackhawks fell to the Stars 3-2 in a shootout on Saturday night at American Airlines Center. Chicago dropped to 2-5 in overtime this season. It was the first shootout for the Blackhawks this year. Cody Franson and Brandon Saad netted one goal each. Anton Forsberg made 33 saves in the loss.
• Corey Crawford has been sent to IR and the Hawks recall Jean-Francois Berube, a former LA Kings prospects and former AHL champion with the Manchester Monarchs.
  
• Forsberg started the Hawks previous game against the Stars, but it unknown if Berube will get the start tonight.
  
• The LA Kings extend their win streak to 4 games after defeating the St. Louis Blues Friday night by a score of 4-1.
  
• Torrey Mitchell has finally got his Visa situation sorted out and will make his Kings debut tonight replacing Nic Dowd in the lineup. Mitchell currently has 0 points this season.
  
• Not confirmed yet, but I'm assuming Quick will start tonight after Kuemper went the other night.

The Hawks have been streaky this season and are in a rut. those Kane/Toews contracts are going to hurt real soon....

One of my favorite gifs. I love that Crawford started acting tough once the ref got in between.

I miss DD and JQ shit talking during the playoffs. They bring another level of entertainment that opposing fans hate.

I don’t know if there’s anything in hockey I give a shit about less than the f***ing anthem in Chicago sung by this guy.

 

[Kingspiracy]

I like your guys anthem, but man, that guy butchers it

MadDermid really needs to time his step ups better. They go around him easily because he mistimes his step ups.
