Sunday's Best: Hawks vs. Sharks Big Boy

Odd, that The Hawks pot four goals (plus an empty-netter) in a game in which the shot counts were pretty even, after out-chancing the opposition mightily during their recent losses.  No matter, a win is a win.  There were several deserving candidates tonight, but one Hawk really stood out for me.

Just a goal on the scoresheet, but a big one and a beauty, at that.  I thought he worked very well with Saad, instigating two odd-man rushes and helped minimize the disaster that was Andrew Shaw.  Tonight's Big Boy is Big Bick.

                                                              Dreamy.

Speaking of Andrew Shaw...

First, he ices the puck needlessly, executing a shoot in a full stride away from the red line.  On the ensuing defensive zone face off, which he loses, of course, The Sharks hit for their first goal.  Later, a lack of care & control causes him to cut Joe Thornton resulting in a double-minor penalty and the second Sharks goal.  Not a great night for old Chickenhawk.

                                 
                                   Hawks 5, Andrew Shaw 2.  Nice game, dum-dum.
