Comments:

When a team is going good, especially good, there isn't much to write about for the beat writers, but they might be on to something. Is Corey Crawford good enough to take the Hawks to the Stanley Cup, and win it? He has proven to be a stellar goaltender in the regular season and in the playoffs, it's the little stretches that don't seem like much in the regular season, but could mean the end of the season in the playoffs. The jury is still out, and the Hawks don't have any immediate plans to move the stellar goalie, but one has to think that this is stirring or at least half way on the back burner in Bowman's head. A decent month for the boys, after the first two months all the Hawks need to do is just play their game the rest of the way to secure home ice, hopefully throughout the playoffs, and by no means is that a gimmie as a few teams continue to play at a high level. Deadline is lurking, and the Hawks are positioning themselves with a move as scouts have been seen all over the NHL and AHL, as well as the European leagues, obviously that's nothing new given the time of year, but something is up and that comes from a FEW sources close to this team.
