Gettin' By, Gettin' By: Hawks 3, Penguins 2 and Tuesday's Big Boy

Well, that was a little more like a real hockey game.  A little, anyway.
- How long have The Hawks been succeeding almost entirely on the efforts of Kane, Crawford, Keith and, to a lesser extent, Panarin.  The follow up to that is how long can they continue to do this. Panarin has looked tired on a lot of nights, lately, and other guys have had brief periods of effectiveness, but...this cannot last forever.
- P. Danault is sure taking a lot of draws for a guy who can't seem to win one.  Like I said, the lad needs remedial work, there.
- Once again, did Garbutt even play?
- Erik Gustafsson will have heard by now that If You're Going to Block a Shot - Block It.  Tentatively sticking his leg out into the shooting lane on Crosby's goal did Crawford no favours and calls into question his commitment.
- On the topic of Crawford, despite a couple of wonky goals against, I thought he had a strong game, overall, reserving his best stuff for the OT with nice stops on Letang and Kessel.

Maybe or maybe not the best Hawk tonight but with two of the three goals for it would just be rude to pass on Artemi Panarin.  I never get tired of seeing this kid shoot the puck.

                  I'm working on a piss-take of a Soundgarden cover for this guy.
