Time to start another Winning Streak

Posted 5:06 PM ET | Comments 0

The Flames torched the Hawks last night and ended the Hawks four game winning streak last night so what does this mean? The Hawks get a chance to start a new one tonight in Edmonton against an Oilers team that has lost four straight. Games like last night's seems to be demonstrate the need for more heart, energy, piss and vinegar on the roster than that which was added in the offseason. Hey Q, please sit John Scott! In my opinion the entire Hawks team looked bad last night especially Crawford giving up two bad goals.
This is the part of the game were I hope Coach Q does not burn him out to soon in the season. The Razor has proven to be a viable backup, use him Q, as I expect you to, tonight.

The Hawks look to duplicate their effort from last Sunday's victory over the Oilers. The Oilers PK ranked 6th in the league has been pretty solid and the Hawks will need to find a way to keep their powerplay improving going (at least one pp goal in each of the last five games). The success while on the man advantage was a big reason for all of those comfortable 3+ goal wins over the last week or so. Speaking of offense, Sharp and Kane need to have a game; think about it, Hossa, Toews, and Stalberg can't score every night, right? Lets step it up 2nd line.

Tonight's Expected Lineup:
Stalberg-Toews-Hossa
Carcillo-Kane-Sharp
Smith-Bolland-Bickell
Brunette-Kruger-Mayers

D-Fence!
Montador-Keith
Leddy-Hjalmarsson
Lepisto-Scott

Netminder:
Razor

Odds and Ends:
- The Hawks are 1-3-1 on Fridays so far this year.
- Money to spend; Bowman has $6 million to $7 million at his disposal to improve his team, if needed.
