The Good, The Bad and The Ugly: Hawks 3, Bruins 2 and Thursday's Big Boy

The Good:
- An eighth straight win.  Nothing wrong with that.
- Scott Darling outduels last season's Vezina winner.
- Kane's patience on the eventual game-winning goal.
- Klas Dahlbeck scores his first NHL goal.

The Bad:
- Toews leaves shortly after being run hard from behind by Dennis Seidenberg.
- Klas Dahlbeck standing around.
- Edzo and Pat Foley gushing about what a wonderful season Kris Versteeg is having.  I'm pleased for 'Steeger and for the team, but let's face it; a German Shepherd with thumbs could rack up 60 points playing with Kane.  Even Carcillo could probably get 30.

The Ugly:
- Toews leaves shortly after....yeah...
- Being outshot 34 - 21 in the game and 10 - 2 in the third period alone.

It's this guy.  Has he looked bad on any of the goals he's allowed in his half-dozen starts? Scott Darling has already leapfrogged two goalie prospects in The Hawks' system since training camp and is poised to nab Antti Raanta's job as backup as well.  The big fella kinda stole this one.
                      There are precious few photos around of Darling in a road jersey.
