Overall
The team is doing well despite their special teams. Their PK was great at the beginning of the season but now it has taken a turn for the worst. The PP has been horrible all season but of late...have scored a few PPG so hopefully that's the direction they keep on going. Emery looked sharp in net vs. Flames.....that's the goaltender I know! The other games he was kinda shaky but hopefully Razor is here whenever hes between the pipes. Crawford didn't look on his game during the 3 game loosing streak.....but looked better vs. Oilers.....maybe he just needed the rest. Certain players have started to step it up despite not a great start which is nice to see. The team has pretty much been outhit in all their games....time to start get physical Hawks. Next game is versus Canucks....i'll prob miss the 1st but will be able to watch the rest. Should be a good game.
