    FLASH BEFORE MY EYES: Raw Charge

    If the Hawks got to find their defensive feet, and overall game without Patrick Kane, against an offensive soft underbelly ready for tickling against the Panthers, they will swing wildly to the other end of the spectrum tonight. It’s also the second of a back-to-back and while in previous years the Hawks have excelled in this situation, this year they’ve been stunningly mediocre.

    Event Summary

    War on Ice

    After needing a shootout to dispatch of the Panthers two nights ago, the Hawks didn’t let the Panthers back into this game. This time, a 2-0 third period lead turned into a 3-0 win. Not dressing Michal Rozsival was a part of it but not the whole thing. Let’s go.

    Rare is the home-and-home in the NHL’s unbalanced divisional scheduling era, and rarer still is its interconference cousin. But that’s exactly what’s in store tonight as the Hawks take on the Panthers once again, this time in Sunrise as the first part of the Florida two-step.

  • Actually, Scratch That, Pack Up The Cats

    Somewhere, whoever actually runs the Hawks front office should crack open a beer or make a strong drink and breathe a sigh of relief that Patrick Kane’s surgery provides cover today that the Hawks once again missed out on a trade target that would have solved a lot of their problems. And they can sit back and watch as the Kings usurp the era that the Hawks have basically acted that they were entitled to.

    It’s a story we’ve had to rehash far too many times the past two years. It’s after the parade, a time when perhaps you have to have the most amount of focus to see through the glow and what must be done. Everything looks a little glossier than it actually is and it’s easy to make a mistake, the ripples of which will be problems for years.

    Hey the Hawks play that before every 3rd period at the UC, so I can use it.

    Now that we have the cold light of day to refocus on everything, there’s some cleaning up to do.

    While some have already begun speculating what the Hawks will do to fill in the gap left by Kane, that’s missing the point. The biggest problem isn’t at forward. It’s still on defense, and that’s where the Hawks focus has to be, for a multitude of reasons.
