Back in the Saddle? Hawks 4, Kings 2 and Monday's Big Boy

Dead tired so straight to the bullets:
- It was nice to see The Hawks show some of that old resolve and actually play like they wanted this game.  It wasn't an easy game, either, 'cos The Kings know what they're doing, but The Hawks battled back, pressed hard to even things up and then take the lead.  The Kings chucked a lot of shots toward Crawford in the second half of the final period but The Hawks did a good job limiting good chances and, rather opportunistically, salted it away with 90 seconds to play.  
- See what happens when Teravainen plays with linemates who know what they're doing in the offensive zone?  Also, that no-look backhand pass from Kane....sick.
- I'll bet J. Quick thought he was pretty smart, digging his skate in to push to his left when Anisimov was bearing down on him.  To be fair, though, I think everyone expected Big Art to go backhand, Anisimov included.
- So that was Marko Dano?  Okay then.
- Has anyone else noticed that, most nights this season, Shaw has just mailed it in?  He only seems to be where he should be a few times every week.  Go ahead and put him on waivers, though...someone will take a flyer on him.
- Toews + Panarin = awesome.  More of that, please, ideally without Garbutt.

Once again, the best Hawk was their last line of defense.  It wasn't all down to Crawford tonight, as it was last week, but he was at his best when they needed him most.
