Candy From Babies: Griffins 1 – Hawks 4
Not prettiest but it’ll do. Kinda like closing time.
While Q and the press made a lot of the “battle level” of the past two games and all the drills in yesterday’s practice, there was a telling remark from Marian Hossa in his postgame interview with Brian Engblom. He talked about improving the Hawks’ gap to each other and not being so spread out. Basically, that’s puck support, and the Hawks haven’t had it in a while. They were much better tonight, building speed through shorter passes and crunching the space the Wings had to play in. They pressed Detroit all over and weren’t afraid of gaps behind. That’s what led to a pretty thorough win.
Of course, having Marian Hossa back helps too.
Let’s get to them:

Mos Eisley Cantina: Winging It In Motown, Abel to YzermanFor the first time since Game 7 last may, the Red Wings will visit United Center ice. Between then and now, more than a couple events of note have happened, including the Wings’ long-awaited move to the Eastern Confrence so that the people of Detroit don’t have to stay up late watching their team and risk not being on time the next morning for the jobs they don’t have.

Your Face is a Mess: Predators 3, Blackhawks 2
(Extra Skater site down)
Different day, same result. Unlike the previous game against the Avalanche, the Hawks weren’t nearly as dominant in a losing effort. They played the way you’re supposed to play against the Predators. That is to get chip pucks deep, get behind their defensemen and set up the offense below the goal line.

Let’s sing a song about smoke and flames that burn down our lazy yesterdays. Let’s pretend this poverty is fine and sit on our front porches like we do it all the time.
