Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy. Neither The Hawks nor The Stars were particularly great in this one and The Hawks were downright lucky to finish the third period tied, on merit of a hail-mary shot by Brad Richards that should never, ever work in an NHL game. Right?
Still, it was an entertaining, if a bit frustrating match. The ten or so seconds preceding Saad's goal was all about Toews being All-World, yet again, with
two take-aways and a sick pass to set up the goal. On the other end of the spectrum, well, take your pick of any number of botched breakouts or Crow's
sweet pass up the middle, there.
There were a few Hawks that caught my eye; Richards with a couple of points, Keith's outstanding slap-pass in OT and Toews had a few simply outstanding shifts, but a great pass in the second period and the game winning goal in OT earn The Sharp Dressed Man the Belt.
First star but didn't hang around to talk to Dan Roan. Should we be worried?
