Will this be the reason they go to war?

7 points back. Get out the chisel.

There's no catching Minnesota so I'll be happy with a strong showing. I feel pretty good about either of two outcomes:

1) the Hawks chip away at Devan Dubnyk over a best-of-seven as they have with every goalie but Elliott and Smith (and even Elliott was on the ropes but for a stupid Brouwer garbage goal), Dubnyk in particular being a notoriously piss-poor playoff performer

2) Minnesota draws L.A. in the first round and derps the series before the Hawks even see them

JLN...7 points back unless you're predicting a loss.

Yeah just saw that. Fixed.

Neither of these teams really looking sharp.

No. Pretty sloppy.

Nice couple of chances there for the Hawks. Kero with a shot from between a defender's legs.

That lead didn't last long.

Just as I say that, Toews to Panik to take back the lead. Beautiful work by the captain.

Yeah he's totally going to destroy the 30 point mark .

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

He's had a good couple weeks or so but hard to catch up after that abysmal start.

Toews might break 50 points on the year, which is so sad to have to say about a 28-year-old Hall of Famer.

Is that the Wolves coaching legend John Anderson(sp?) on the Wild bench?

It felt like the Wild were gonna score on that sequence.

Is that right from Eddie, two-straight four point games for Toews?

Pat and Eddie are too busy saying tree tree tree.

19 points in last 12 games.

Ok, don't let these assholes back in the game.

Need to tighten it up. The Hawks defense is looser than Milo's rectum.

God fucking dammit.

Hey Curious, still wanna compare Toews to Kruger?

Great win, encouraging to see Toews getting it together in time for the playoffs.

If "Toews" is truly back, there is not a team in the West that will beat them in the postseason.

With a lock at no worse than a 2nd seed, can the Hawks phantom "IR" a player for cap space and get a big name for this deadline?

If the top line plays like that, I agree. Because you have an electric second line, Hossa on the third, and the fourth line is doing work every night. The fourth line has been impressive because they tend to keep the puck in the zone and create chances.

That Schmaltz pass was still.....ridiculous.

If Hjalmarsson hurt his back, you could do this, but the thought of being without Hjalmarsson for the last quarter of the season is...not encouraging.

If there is cap room at end of season left and Panarin hits those escalators can they be put on 2016/17 cap or do they automatically go on 2017/18? Because you know he is going to hit that bonus 2 million or whatever it is again.
