- While I surely cannot say I liked everything about the third period, it certainly was the most interesting twenty minutes of this young season. Six goals will do that.
- The so-called second line finally broke through, just like they were always going to, tallying five of The Hawks' seven goals, with Kane and both Arthurs notching their first goals of the season. They seem closer to being back into their usual lock-step after appearing out of sync thus far.
- I liked Schmaltz again, tonight; even if he didn't get to the scoresheet he was thinking about what he was doing out there and not just reacting.
- Seabrook had himself a fine game, highlighted by that greeeasy fake-slap-pass thing to set up Small Arthur.
- Dennis Rasmussen is like a tall, pale terrier. Totally in a good way.
However
- Those first three minutes of the third period were not only awful, but also indicative of how fragile The Hawks can be, particularly on the PK.
- Panik played like a third liner tonight. Back to earth, then, Richard?
- The Flyers seemed to really be going after Kempny and Forsling, which is a legit tactic, I guess, and while I only detected one egregious turnover, both Hawks d-men were on their back foot for much of this game but managed to rarely lose their composure.
