Cue the Colliton line blender in 3-2-1 ...

We're about to get a pp goal. I can feel it.

Didn't take long for the BoD to show up.

Any further word on Caggiula?

Just that he still wasn't at practice.

To take some luster off the Hawk victory over Buffalo, tonight the Sabres got smacked by lowly MIN 4-1 at home in BUF.

Fast, disciplined, aggressive opponents will do that to a fan base.

Carolina is a very good team - well-coached. I expect they will go far in the tournament.

Can penalties be declined?

Asking for a friend.

Boy, Keith needs to be replaced if that is what he is gong to bring to PP1.

They should be... every time we get one we should to have two minutes taken off the clock and just drop the puck at center ice and continue play.

Okay, thanks.

Pp wasn't all bad ... Keith was though.

You are right on it, fast, structured defense, good team. #8 seems to have the wheels going for us, he’ll get the first goal.

It is always just a moment away.....

Gus got beat on that, then Lehner did too.

They were due for an ass whooping!

What are our D-men thinking today? Slow skating, weak backhand passes, and just "what the heck" pinches/decisions.

and ... we suck again.

Totally outclassed tonight. Canes contesting every puck and the Hawks can't do anything. It's incredible how the Canes can control the puck no matter what the Hawks players do and it's the absolute opposite for the Hawks who look like a JV team out there.

Nasty top shelf shot. 2-0

That's how you score goals. Too many Hawks going 5 hole all the time a la 19. Elevate to score. Bobby Hull always says "shoot for the ears".

Yes, but that’s because goalies didn’t wear masks when he said it.

failed to clear ... failed to clear ... failed to clear ... failed to clear ... failed to clear ... failed to clear ... failed to clear ...

I'm sensing a pattern in this game. Their best play tonight is icing the puck.

No worries, the Hawks are just a few years away from having a bunch of young, fast defensemen, just like Carolina.

Stamkos was right.

At least the pk was good.

With their D being so aggressive, shouldn't there be opportunities to counter? It's like we can't even get a puck past them.

Maybe this is one of those instances where their scheme is just tailor made to beat what we do best.

There’s the silver lining....
