Make Your Own Bounces: Hurricanes 3, Hawks 2

A quick wrap, here, as it's late and there's precious little to say about tonight's game.
No Puck Luck, no bounces, however you want to say it, may have been a factor tonight, but when something isn't working you should probably change the way you're going about it.  For the most part, The Hawks thrashed and flailed a lot in this game, right to the end.  There was a lack of patience, little precision and an unwillingness to deviate much from this approach.  They kind of got what they paid for.  
The Only way Vinnie Hinnie was going to score tonight was to get one off his body.  He and Hartman put forth an energetic effort but, as had often been the case earlier in the season, did not take much care in timing or aiming their shots.  A blip, one hopes.
Toews, centering H&H had a strong game, though, not entirely wasted by his linemates' rush to start their weekend.
Right Place, Wrong Guy: Why does it always seem to be Desjardins who gets a gift wrapped chance after some hard work by a linemate, only to stuff it into the goalie's guts?  
Three Passes to Nowhere: In the first five minutes of the third period The Hawks flicked the puck into their own slot / high slot for reasons unknown.  I wish I could remember who got away with the first two indiscretions but it was Kane's that finally cost them.  Yeah, I know it appeared to have been redirected, but what was the plan there, anyway?  There was some bad puck luck in that goal, too: Jay McClement has never and will never again score on that shot.
Michal Kempny had a fine outing, at least, with a couple of points and he rocked 80-per Corsi.  It's a good thing he managed to score, though, as that little miscalculation early in the first that set up a Carolina two-on-one could just have easily got him stapled to the bench.
Kruger Hurt?  Last time he missed the end of a game it wasn't even acknowledged but, tonight, someone noticed and it was mentioned on the broadcast.  Maybe it was because Tanner Kero was playing what seemed like every second shift.  Well, in light of that, let's hope that Krugs is well enough to play Monday, 'cos Kero ain't up the the task.  Better Kero than Tootoo, mind you, but not by much.
Oh well, it's a shame to miss the two points on what should have been easier than The Hawks made it look but, believe it or not, this is a kind of rebuilding year and these things are gonna happen.
Okay, replenishing year.  That sounds better.
