One Minute Away From a Proper Trouncing: Hawks 4, Canucks 2

Alright, before anyone gets too excited, let's just remind ourselves that this was The Canucks and that they're garbage.
On the other hand, results aside, Jonathan Toews having a dominant performance this evening IS pretty exciting.
I'll offer one other point / counterpoint before I rack out: Corey Crawford wasn't great.  Not awful, but far from tip-top, and he was fortunate on a few occasions, such as when one of The Creepy Twins missed the net with 4+ feet of mesh in full view, as well as a couple of pucks that he failed to track but hit him, regardless,
On the other hand, Kempny had a few minutes that were exactly what has sometimes kept him on the outside looking in and, tonight, had him benched for much of the third period.  On the flip of his unarguably dumb penalty and being completely pantsed by Horvat, he had an otherwise pretty good game.  As a Very Smart Guy I once knew used to say, though, "It takes ten 'attaboys' to make up for one 'oh shit'", and that's what went down for Kemps tonight.
Well, duh.
