Theo Fox: Game 53: Hawks 3, Canes 6 A recap of the Blackhawks somewhat stronger game versus the Hurricanes yet with the same outcome and same exposure of team flaws.

On a good note, Hardman and Entwistle registered their first NHL points.

"to clean up with some peanut butter" ?

That, Theo, is a turn of a phrase I never heard before.

Peanut butter is a term used for going top shelf with the puck.

Colliton said. "We’re crying for a little more physical, straight-ahead, hard-to-play-against element to our team. We need more of that, to compete with teams like this. Some size and some physicality and some killer instinct to make contact and get stops and create loose pucks and do more off the forecheck."

Interesting. Hmmmm........

Okay. There goes my allotment of things to learn today.

As much as Eddie O likes to talk about going top shelf, I am surprised he never used that term.

FIFY

Isn't it a Coach Q expression?

Pretty sure it originated with Q. He kept his PB on the top shelf.

Nice effort, but given the tenor of the BoD last night, you need a picture with more than one ledge dweller.

Sounds like the HC breaking bad on the personnel the GM has given him.

Entwhistle and Hardman seemed to work well as a 4th line. Maybe some future there.

The 2nd Canes goal was interesting. Hagel was actually closer to the shooter but for some reason starts backing off and Z drifts out to try and block the shot which deflected off his stick.

It was similar to several years ago when Hawk legend, Christian Ehroff had one deflect off his stick and past Crawford. Q never put Ehroff in the lineup again.

That's what the board looked like last night. All hanging off.

Dweller? I was certain I’d wake up this morning to hear the ledge was empty and there were scattered BODdies littering the thoroughfare.

Q would have this group near the top, but they really need Keenan. Or Torts. Or Gallant. And Stan better get several face punchers. The only way to be good is to club the other team into the ice. Everyone knows this - the 2009-2015 Hawks were a little itty bitty exception. With that, I need a cigarette.
