The next four games (10/18-10/23)

The Chicago Blackhawks are 5-4-1.  They have 11 pts making them 5th in the Western Conference and 3rd in the division (Hawks and Wings are tied but Wings have played less game).  Here's the four game summaries:

Hawks vs. Blues (10/18/10)
Hawks win 3-2 (OT)
David Perron scored the Blue 2 goals.  Hawks were down 2-0 with 6:48 left into the game when Marian Hossa uses his magic and gets a power play goal.  2:31 later Hossa scores again using a beauty between the legs to tie the game.  Patrick Sharp scores the GWG in OT making it his 3rd consecutive GWG.


Hawks vs. Canucks (10/20/10)
Hawks win 2-1 (SO)
This was a hard fought game.  Viktor Stalberg scores for the Hawks in the 1st and Daniel Sedin scores in the 3rd to tie the game.  The game goes into a shoot out.  Toews, Sharp, and Kane all score eventhough 2 of them should have been stopped by Luongo but I'll take it!!  Daniel Sedin and Kesler score for Canucks while Mikael Samuelsson misses the net!

Hawks vs. Blues (10/22/10)
Blues win 4-2
David Perron scores another 2 goals this game....making it 4 goals this season for him all 4 vs. Turco.  Sharp (PPG) and Seabrook both score a goal each. It was 2-2 after the 2nd.  Polak scores 8:59 left in the game and Brent Seabrook gets a delay of game at 18:07 which leads to Berglund's PPG at 18:57. 

Hawks vs. Blue Jackets (10/23/10)
Columbus wins 3-2
The Hawks should have won this game but they lost the momentum at the end of the 2nd period.  Sharp and Toews score for the Hawks in the 1st period.  Derek Brassard scores 35.7 sec left in the 2nd.  With 29 sec still left in the middle period Brouwer received a major penalty for boarding after he hit defenseman Fedor Tyutin from behind.  Umberger and Vermette scored in the 3rd period to win the game.

Overall, the Hawks are doing okay.  The power play is great.....let's keep that up.  The goaltending is better.  There are some players that are still missing in action after 10 games in all areas.  Coach Q did a lot of line juggling yesterday.  Skille with Sharp/Toews.....Kopecky with Hossa/Brouwer....Kane with Bolland/Stalberg......Bickell with Dowell/Pisani.  Hopefully he tries this in the game and im curious to see what happens.  Going to the game tonight so it should be FUN!!! As always....GO HAWKS!!!
