expect 11″F” 7 “D”: Lafferty (healthy scratch)

[BetweenTheDots]

Grrrrrrrr
Reichel

Hagel saves a goal against

[Metalhead]

Knight denies Kucherov, very nice.

[BetweenTheDots]

Crazy they lost Kucherov on that play

Reichel with a really nice back check after a weak shift.

[Metalhead]

Right before the Foligno penalty, was it Dach or Kaiser (I think Dach?)
who passed the puck across the ice inside their own blue line?
That absolutely cannot happen.

Not sure Foligno *had to* take that penalty, but it was not a dumb penalty.

[CoachFrenchy]

Good period overall 👏 on the road 1-0…

Nazar finds the back of the net on the power play ⚡️
Foligno needs to play a little smarter — avoid those unnecessary penalties. Not Necessary…
Mikheyev with another strong period — earning every dollar 💰
Tampa just doesn’t look sharp tonight…

[BetweenTheDots]

I don’t know half the line up in Tampa and their studs are old.

We saw this in Chicago

[BetweenTheDots]

That’s twice now Arty can’t clear the zone, he’s got to be better at it

Nice play by Slaggert

[Metalhead]

Hawks with their typical awful second period.
They’re lucky to be tied into the third.

Their famous “5 on 5 penalty kill” was in action way too much there.

[BetweenTheDots]

To bad 3 guys were watching Kucherov on that play.

They have their work cut out for them in the 3rd again

[Metalhead]

It is 100% certain that Knight is masking a lot of problems on this team.
Exactly how much, I don’t wanna know.

[BetweenTheDots]

What a game by Knight, something to build around.

I truly believe great defense, Teuvo, leads to good offense, love that Nazar shot it on the left side of Vasi.

[BetweenTheDots]

I counted 3 shots that went off Knight then hit the post and out, incredible tonight

It’s so nice to have more than 1 scoring line now.

[Metalhead]

postgame hot takes:
Knight is not only good, he is smart.
Arty made a good defensive play in the 3rd. Possibly his first of year.
Rinzel is very good, will get better, but made some youngster type plays tonight.
Tampa sucks really bad. What a shame.

[BetweenTheDots]

I just love the Blackhawks this year winning and getting to 50 50 pucks all over the ice.
