IN YOUR FACE, SPACE COYOTES! Hawks 2, Coyotes 0

See, I knew the Hawks could beat these chumps.  Dave Tippett should be coach of the year. I don’t care where his team finishes in the standings, he’s managed to win 9 straight games with guys like Lee Stempniak, Radim Vrbata, Adrian Aucoin and Jim Vandermeer playing major minutes.  What the hell is that? 

Some might say it’s luck, or fate, or a conspiracy or just hellacious goaltending, but Tippett’s probably got something to do with it.  Anyway, the 9 game winning streak is history, and the Hawks look like they’re finding their team defense again.  If they start getting efforts like this on a consistent basis again, maybe the fans won’t have to spend the playoffs breathing into a paper bag after all. 

THE GOOD 

Patrick Kane:  When Kane was on the ice, the Blackhawks offense looked its best.  He held the puck and created chances for himself and his mates, the big one coming when he wristed one past Illya Bryzgalov for the Hawks first goal. 

Antti Niemi:  What we’ve been saying is that we don’t need great goaltending, just a goalie to make the saves at big moments.  Niemi was up to the challenge tonight, making several big saves in the 3rd period to preserve the Hawks 2 goal lead, and get himself a shutout. 

Penalty Kill:  The Hawks killed every penalty with relative ease.  Plus, Mark Giangreco Roman Wrestler said it was good, and who am I to argue with him? 

THE BAD 

Power Play:  I keep telling myself I’m going to stop beating this dead horse, but the Hawks failed on 4 PPs including another lengthy 5 on 3.  This REALLY needs to get better for the playoffs. 

The Third Period:  They didn’t blow the lead this time, but the Hawks were definitely scrambling again.  You’d like to see them rediscover their killer instinct and run up some scores instead of hanging on for dear life to get the win.   

THE UGLY 

Phoenix:  This is what an offense staffed by guys like Adrian Aucoin and Lee Stempniak should look like.

      Ms Blackhawks' direction of positive vibes towards Brent Seabrook, facilitated by the stalwart work and joint nocturnal transmissions of CT and Fork, has revived the Hawks' blueline.

      Antti Niemi has replaced Dominik Hasek as the foreign accent to be imitated by hockey fans.

      Marian Hossa is brilliant.

      The HockeeNight Shoutbox is the place to be for Hawkey connoisseurs, as evidenced once again by the cast of characters in attendance last night.
