More, Please: Hawks 6, Coyotes 1 and a First Time Big Boy

That's more like it.  Yeah, let's not get too excited about punching out these feckless 'Yotes, but 51 shots-for is a good sign and, while 36 against isn't optimal, there weren't a ton of high quality shots there.  A few observations:
- Sometimes I mistake Teravainen for Kane, with their similar size, speed and stance.  I take this as a Good Sign.
- Shaw's second goal may be the longest shot he's ever scored on.
- Man, Rundblad can shoot that puck.
- Is there a backup goalie in Phoenix?  Why was Mike Smith left on the hook for 6 goals against?  I mean, it couldn't happen to a nicer guy, but come on....
- Can we PLEASE get Rundblad and Erixon together again?  For more than 8 minutes?
- Joakim Nordstrom: not terrible but not really anything else.  Would Peter Regin be a lesser option?  I think not.

Anyway, to it -

Coulda been Kane, coulda been Shaw but, being an optimist, I hope to be Googling fresh images of this guy for years to come. Often.
