It's Opposite Week: Hawks 4, Wild 2 and Thursday's Big Boy

You have to ask what's going on when a team launches 54 shots in a game and is shut out and, two days later, is outshot 44-20 and manages to win. I guess the easiest answer may be that there was a very good goalie at the other end on Tuesday and not so much tonight.  At least The Hawks received a decent effort from their netminder in each game.

Despite being owned in the shots & chances departments there was still lots of positive stuff to take away from tonight:
- Rundblad, decisive with his shoot-ins
- Sharp, getting after the shoot-in!
- Kane, three more points and climbing steadily up the scoring ladder
- Bickell, unexpectedly on the second line and cashing in a pair
- Faceoffs, with The Hawks continuing to improve in that area (34-for-62 tonight)
- Best of all, though...

Brad Richards, with 3 sweet assists while playing more minutes than he's logged in several weeks earns secure trousers on this day.
