Where to Begin? Hawks 3, Devils 2 and Tuesday's Big Boy (or not)

Bleh.  
Only one Hawk forward, Sharp, looked really good, and it took him half the game to shake off a month of rust.
Scott Darling was fine.  He faded a little too far to his left on Tootoo's goal but I can cast no blame on him for Gionta's bunt single.
Speaking of, if Dahlbeck makes a better (i.e. less panicky) outlet pass there the Gionta goal never happens.  Not to dump on Dahlbeck in this, his second-ever NHL game, 'cos most of the other d-men were kind of yippy (I'm looking at you, Seabrook).  What is amazing is that Dahlbeck got four more shifts after his error, just because Quenneville is so smart.

Forget it, nobody gets it and, as a team, they deserve to have their pants fall down after barely escaping with 2 points against a non-playoff team (yes, it's only December, but come on...).
Instead:

                                                   Just not tonight...somehow.
                                              Yeah, we got it...you're The Devils.
