I'm not sure which scenario disturbs me more; that The Ducks are somehow in 1st place in the NHL or that The Hawks are not. Maybe it's a case of right-place-right-time but The Hawks have owned Anaheim this season, winning three matches handily and losing a 1-0 game in which John Gibson stole a win for the waterfowl. Where are The Ducks picking up all these points? Looking at their roster, especially their defence, there's not a lot there past the top line.
As for The Hawks, they seem to find ways to chuck two points away pretty often. Maybe every good team in the NHL is guilty of this from time to time but, holy crap, The Hawks have wasted a lot of pints this season by simply not applying themselves as they could and should.
Enough of that. We got the points tonight and without a lot of effort, it seemed.
There were a couple of likely suspects tonight but, with assists on all four goals, this evening's Big Boy is Patrick Sharp.
Oddly, Google Images provides twice as many photos of Sharpie in street clothes than in hockey gear. It took me 45 minutes to get this.
