Hawks Forget to Showup, Pens Roll

Two highly skilled teams are going up and down the ice. The only marker was from Pittsburgh when Ahsam was able to pound home a rebound that Corey Crawford was able to get a piece of but not enough. Hawks had a couple really nice opportunities but Johnson stood tall making huge saves on Toews and Kane. Pittsburgh is outshooting the Hawks 12-8, but this game is as even as advertised. Hawks secondary scoring needs to jump into the play in order for them to get back in the game.

The second period belonged to the Pens. They one every battle, and out raced every Hawk to each puck. Craig Adams got the second marker for Pittsburgh giving them a 2-0 lead in front of a hostile crowd. Hawks are not getting enough pucks to the net, again. It's been a problem for a few games now, Pittsburgh holds the edge 24-13 thru two periods, Hawks need to dig deep to make a difference tonight.

Urgency, something the Hawks didn't find until they were down 3-0 after a WEAK Jordan Staal goal, as far as test's go, Hawks failed this one, big time.
