I'm at work so I didn't get to watch most of the game but I saw the two Pittsburgh goals in the second. Hawks didn't play to the intensity of the Pens from what I saw. They also didn't get any help from the Refs. I can't believe that hit on Kruger wasn't penalized and then the Hawks ended up on the PK as a result after Scott lit up Engelland.

Win streak had to end sometime. At least we didn't give two points to a team from the West.

yeah, seemed like some iffy calls ( home town calls ).
krueger did not return to the game ( or at least he was not in the game in the 3rd )

hawks ramped it up in the 3rd. if they had played like that from the beginning then maybe it would have been a different outcome.

it seems like they fall asleep on these 1 hitter east coast trips.

oh well, home cooking tonight

uhhhh... what?

Big win tonight...but WTF??

Carcillo has a concussion and he has to wait 7 days from the date of injury without the ability to play in order to be placed on IR. Since Kruger is out with a concussion as well they have to skrink the roster in order to call other players up.

Yea, I looked into it more, it's just a procedural thing. Not like other sports where a player that is IR is usually done for the season.

Minn has finally came back to Earth right when the Hawks are getting hot.
There are 3 teams +13, but the Hawks have played the most games,
so all the news guys are going nuts that they lead the league??
Like we don't understand Bos played 3 less games??

All I care about is they don't have to sneak in to the playoffs last minute again!!
That was way too much stress!!

unless there's alot of injuries ( rubbing the rabbit's foot ) or some other supernatural event..... the hawks should make the playoffs comfortably.

nothing like getting the blue jackets the day after christmas. Crawford should be in net.

You can't beat live hockey, especially when they are finally winning!!
I had season Wolves tickets for about 11 years, and it was awesome.
Perfect way to spend the winter away from racing, especially when they won 3 cups!!
I had boycotted the Hawks for years until dollar bill finally died and Rocky made the team something we could be proud of again!!
