Payback?

Less then a week ago the Yotes came into town and gave the Hawks who were returning home for the first time after a two week road trip a 4-1 a$$ whoopin. After chewing up and spitting out the Hawks, the Yotes went up to Winnipeg and lost 1-0 then went home and lost to the Flyers 4-2. Hmm. makes you wonder doesn't it?

Look for Corey Crawford to start tonight but he must realize that the leash is getting shorter especially after the performance that Razor had on Saturday against the Blues. I also expect that Car Bomb will hold onto the 1st line LW spot with Viktor Stalberg moving to the 4th line and Ben Smith keeps Bryan Bickell in the press box.

Tonight's game is a big one for the Hawks to prove that they now have some real momentum and the proper attitude coming off a huge road won in St. Louis on Saturday. This against a good and well-coached team.

Tonight’s Expected lineup:
Car Bomb-Toews-Kane
Sharpie-Kruger-Hossa
Frolik-Bolland-Smith
Stalberg-Mayers-Brunette

D-Fence!
Seabs-Keith
Hjalmarsson-Leddy
Montador-O’Donnell

Netminder:
The Crow

Odds and Ends
- The Hawks are 3rd in the league in goals for
- Given that vast improvement on the PP, the PP is now 11th in the league. Just a thought but when is the PK going to improve (29th)
- Hossa gets his second chance to get career goal number 400 tonight.
- Sharpie has eight goals and six assists in the last 11 games.
- My apologies for the lack of analysis on the game with the Blues as I missed that game and did not record it. (My bad)

Thanks for reading.

GO HAWKS!
