GAME DAY: Blackhawks @ Sens, Thursday, Oct 30, 7:30 PM

Karlsson is going to find himself on the highlight reel for all the wrong reasons. Versteeg walks in around him and scores

bobby Ryan finally coming in hot!!!

Holy Diddle! What a game! Turris, Mac, Karlsson, bobby. Really starting to click!

Man if they played bobby with Turris we'd see some sparks again.

Hoffman is really showing he should be played every night. Really starting to put it together.

Diddle! Weren't we suppose to trade for sharp?
Urghhhh

Didn't see much but saw tons of scoring chances. I think we're starting to look pretty good offensively. The Hossa goal was bad by Anderson though.
All in all, shootout loss, no biggie.

First goal wasn't great either.

Sharp was invisible in both games against the Sens. Sometimes the best trades are the ones that aren't made.

Ugly game for Karlsson, he was okay in the 3rd. Future 2nd line for the Sens, the kid line.

Good game. Wiercioch is lucky boro and methot are hurt.

Old couple.next to me left as soon as Chicago scored to make it 4-3 . morons.

We held our own and more. Not a great 4th goal though. Gotta love the lazar line - so much fun to watch. I doubt greening gets in there anytime soon.

Seriously we play like this every game we beat 80% of the East

Just watched the whole thing. My god was Karlsson ever awful defensively. The powerplay was excellent though even though we could have scored more. The zone entry was pretty much perfect.

Did I ever tell you I hate shootouts? That was two shots that beat Anderson up high glove side. Perfect shots but if he doesn't bite on the deke they are easy blocks.

Didn't like Turris' attempt, frankly, didn't like the shooter selection. Lazar, Hoffman, Stone earned a look. Big goalie like that, wouldn't it make more sense to come in fast and do a quick deke or two or three from in close? Oh, right, he's wearing green now. I guess Hoffman's penalty shot attempt is what nailed his butt to the bench. But why not try Lazar and Stone? Stone has great hands in close.

I'll take the point but I would have preferred two.

Positives:
- got a point and held them to under 40 SOG (the new goal?)
- scored 4 goals
- PK was 5 for 5
- had more blocked shots than the Hawks; more hits and takeaways as well

Areas to work on:
- face offs
- still taking too many penalties (6 minors)
- 39 shots on goal, come on!
- Karlsson -- you miss Marc?

The shots in goal will always be there as that is their game plan. They always move out of the way to let he goalie see the shot and make the save

Yeah, Anderson should've had that 4th goal for the Hawks by Hossa..and then Darling should've stopped ZBad's tying goal late. Karlsson had a really horrible defensive game as well.

It's nice to see us run and gun with one of the big boys.
