Chicago Hawkie Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 (edited) After a busy day at work and a snowy trip home, I am glad to watch some hockey ... and it's going to be "one of those great 6 o'clock starts". The Hawks won their previous game against the Panthers 3-2 in a shootout, but have lost three in a row while the Panthers have won two in a row. One of those losses was in a shootout, however. One glaring area in need of improvement for the Hawks is special teams, particularly the penalty killing. I think Coach Q should have blamed the recent loss to Minnesota on the need for better special teams instead of on Crow. The best \way to kill penalties is not to take them in the first place ...

Chicago Hawkie Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 Hawks lead 2-0 after one The Blackhawks scored two power play goals (Good for the special teams!) to go up 2-0. On the downside, Crow went down with an undisclosed injury with about 6 minutes to go in the period and Antti Raanta had to take over.

hf101 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Crow went down with an undisclosed injury with about 6 minutes to go in the period and Antti Raanta had to take over. That blows, hopefully it is nothing too serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Hawkie Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 @hf101 I hope it's nothing much, but Crow was unable to move his leg much after the injury, so it's possible that it may be a knee injury rather than a groin injury. Neither one is good, though ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Hawkie Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 Hawks stay in control after two with a 4-2 lead The Hawks had a 3-0 lead beginning the second period, then had to weather a storm when the Panthers narrowed the lead to 3-2. The Hawks went up 4-2 on a goal by Handzus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
