So, what have I missed?

Dude there's a brawl, 8 goals, six girls making out in the front row and a dead midget flashes on the screen.

Sheesh. I missed all that and I was AT that game. It must have been when I went to change my daughter's diaper.

I hope you had diapers with maple leafs on them. On the inside part.

Hey, wouldn't that be a great gag gift for a sports fan and new parent? Diapers with the arch-rival's logos on the inside.

I wonder if it had anything to do with the Hawks just squeeking out wins in their two previous games and perhaps not playing up to the standards of a top team?

Certainly... they didn't play their best game and Huet struggled... but that's the way the cookie crumbles in the NHL.

True enough. I think someone brought up the notion but was quickly shot down with some impressive stats. Who was that? I can't seem to remember. It was before the game started I'm pretty sure.

Complete team effort, except for Kuba, who was brutal again.

I like it. I think you've got a real solid idea there.

That Regin goal where he undressed Campbell is simply amazing.

Great game by the boys last night, I am very very very impressed that they were able to win convincingly against the best team in the league. These last 4 games have really turned me into more of a believer that this year still has the makings to be very special. The boys seem to be playing like a real team that are there for each other at every turn. I really believe that the skate in Central Park was very necessary for the guys to remember what they were here for and what their job is, and that they have a strong team of guys that are there for them.

Elliott was arguably the number 1 star last night for me followed so very closely by Neil. I don't think we win that game without Neil last night, he was a force to be reckoned with. He didn't let up for 1 minute on those young Hawks and they steered very clear of him.

GO SENS GO!!! I hope we can continue this run!

It does seem that the "bonding" efforts have helped. The skate and then the fathers joining the team... something hit home that's for sure. Having Alfie back is huge. Huge.

Man, that was one sexy goal.

I think Karlsson's efforts both physically in his own end and offensively were a huge part of this win as well.

Indeed.

He's coming along... slowly but surely...

Karlsson is the Dung! Forgot to mention that too.

Absolutely. He was showing us his stuff last night for sure.

How nice is it to be able to rattle off so many young guys having great nights?

Regin - Off the charts good last night
Elliott - See above
Zack Smith - Solid game and above expectations
Karlsson - Off the charts good physically against guys that massively out weighed him. Solid and at times super slick offensive game.

Elliot's save on Hossa was TSN's HON.
