Time to Seperate the Men From the Boys: Hawks 3, Panthers 2 and Tuesday's Big Boy

Obviously, THE story from last evening's game is Patrick Kane's apparent shoulder injury.  How long he will be unavailable and how The Hawks' braintrust (ha!) adjust to this will be critical to the team's shot-term future.  First, though, to the game itself.
- Patrick Sharp finally played some significant minutes but one cannot help but assume that this would not have been the case had Kane not gone down.  I'm shocked that it wasn't Shaw that benefited from the extra ice time.
- I'm tired of hearing it, I'm tired of saying it but I'm most tired of seeing it, game after game; Rozsival is horrible.  What, exactly, Quenneville is clinging to by tossing Rozsy out there so willingly is completely beyond me, as he has been partly or wholly responsible for five of the last eight goals The Hawks have allowed.  Complaining accomplishes nothing so maybe I'll just stop.  How bad must Q believe his other options to be when he persists with this nonsense?
- Letting their opponents back into games that The Hawks have been in near-full control of must stop now.  The Hawks owned The Panthers for two periods and, once again, let up in the third (and overtime) sufficiently to very nearly screw up what should absolutely have been an easy two points.

I don't really feel too invested in this exercise but what the heck.  He had a goal in regulation and one of the two deciders in shoot out, so tonight it's Toews.

                                                              The best of a bad lot.

Like I mentioned, what happens next will likely be one of the most important adjustments of the entire season.  Best case - Teravainen returns and plays alongside Richards and Sharp but, in my heart of hearts, I don't expect to see this happen.  IF Teravainen even gets the call-up he's destined to the bottom six, isn't he, even though Q publicly asserted that he doesn't belong there.  More likely, I believe, is for Carcillo to draw in or, worse, Hartman to return or, EVEN WORSE BUT TOTALLY BELIEVABLE, Brandon Mashinter arrives to save the day.

We'll know more, later, apparently.
