The Hawks stuck to their script....start slow and pour it on in the third period but, this time, it didn't quite go according to plan. Here's why:
Puck Luck: Only the bounce to Motte leading to The Hawks' second goal went their way. Two goalposts for Panik, another for Kane and a couple of pretty sketchy penalty calls had the home side up against it for much of the game.
Hossa Out: Never a good thing. Not only did Hoss play only a few shifts before retreating to the room, but the necessary line-shuffling and the chaos that always brings didn't help, either.
No Go-To Guys: Missing Hoss and Artem Anisimov, The Hawks were without the guys that have together scored half of the team's game-winning goals.
Aw, well, sometimes it just goes that way.
Forward to Friday, then, when Crow is expected to start and perhaps Hoss & Large Arthur will be feeling better, as well.
