About Last Night: It's All to Do Now

It wasn't all bad, but it wasn't good enough and, frustratingly, not nearly as good as it can be.

• On that tack, it was gratifying to see Toews recover from a so-so effort earlier in the game to give The Hawks a chance at OT.  I guess that's what we need and expect from him, though, isn't it?
• Bickell needs to be removed from the second line, possibly from the roster.  Whatever mythical playoff mojo he's possessed in the past deserted him sometime during the MN series.  His bungled shoot-in, basically the hockey equivalent of a lay up, is inexcusable.  It doesn't end with Bickell, though, 'cos Quenneville continues to trot him out on a line that has, lately, been compromised by Bickell's secret injury/ lack of concern / whatever and Richards' inconsistency.  If Q insists on continuing with Bickell in the lineup I wonder if swapping Kane and Saad might be worth a try.
• Seabrook looked awful on the winning goal but, to be fair to him, he was alone, trying to turn around in the face of two Ducks entering the zone with speed and was probably unsure who would have the puck when he stopped spinning.  Yeah, it would have been better if he took away the passing lane rather than chase the puck carrier, but it was a lost coin-flip as much as anything, I think.
• Another positive; at least we can expect Teravainen and Vermette to remain in the lineup.  Vermette's touch pass on TT's goal gave me chills.
• The Ducks are still very beatable but only if The Hawks refrain from the lazy, thoughtless stuff that so often lead to a puck behind Crawford.  They can do it, let's see if they will do it.
