Wild first period, then Halak was just better the rest of the way.

First line looked great with Lucic on it, a number of good chances, the depth feels good with this group now. Hossa with a Slapshot in the shootout, just flat out beat Reimer, it was sick.

New Lines - Push for the Cup, can't wait to play with these!
Ben Smith, another solid prospect is a sniper, he may move up to the third line and Carcillo might move to the 4th line, we will see how it plays out.

GM Stan Bowman, "it's been a hectic day for all of us, so we will run down each deal here and give you an idea of what we were thinking with these deals, we are very pleased with the moves we made today, we feel the team not only got better this year for a cup run but put ourselves in a position to be a threat in the offseason with the draft as well."
Chicago Blackhawks Announce Deal:
Acquire
2012 - 1st Round Draft Pick
Acquire
2012 - 2nd Round Draft Pick
LW - Bryan Bickell
Analysis - Solid move for the Hawks as their 2nd round draft pick will put them near the beginning of the third round so now they can have multiple picks in the 1st round, and an early pick then first anticipated now that they have Montreal's pick. Bryan Bickell has all sorts of promise but he was in Coach Q's dog house. He is not making any money at all so it's a nice addition for a Montreal team headed to the playoffs.
Chicago Blackhawks Announce Second Deal:
Acquire
2012 - 2nd Round Draft Pick
Acquire
LW - Andrew Brunette
Analysis: Bringing Brunette in to help the PP unit and skate top 6 minutes made sense in the off season, but as the season progressed it was obvious that his lack of speed was keeping the top two lines down, and he was not signed to play bottom 6 minutes. In return the Hawks get the 2nd round pick they lost in the deal with Montreal and improve their positioning in the 2nd round as they will finish with a better record than Carolina.Chicago Blackhawks Announce MAJOR Deal:
GM Stan Bowman - Boston came to us with this deal, we did not go to them looking for it. The more we went back and forth on it the more it made sense to pull the trigger."
Acquire
LW - Milan Lucic
Acquire
2012 - 1st Round Draft Pick
G - Ray Emery
LW - Rusty Olesz
RW - Jamal Mayers
Analysis: Wow, totally unexpected move from the Hawks. For the whole season the Hawks have lacked a true # 1 LW to play with Toews and Kane. They have landed their man in Lucic, and it gives them some more muscle, and some more help on the PP, and PK. Clearly something is up in Boston, as they take on an aging goaltender, and role players in Mayers and Olesz. The Hawks were looking to get Olesz off the team and more importantly off the books, as he was making close to $4 million, and clearly not worth that with three more years left. Hard to understand this move from Boston's side of things, they do land a late first rounder, but still curious. As far as Emery goes, the Hawks will call on Alexander Salak to fill in as Crawfords backup for the rest of the year, in other words, it's Crawfords team from here on out.
Exhausted folks, going to try and post new lines here before I call it a night. Have to see the surgeon's nurse in the morning.

That was exhausting. Hawks special teams come up big again with a PP goal and a Shorthanded goal. We are at the deadline....

What a deflection goal by Bickell to take the lead in the third just after Dallas tied it, it was pretty.

One of the coolest games I've ever played. Dave Bolland's SHG was a thing of beauty, out racing a Detroit defender and sliding it past Howard with .4 left in the period. I'll say it again, coolest game ever played, really felt like I was waiting to lose given my record against them this year, HUGE WIN BOYS!

In an effort to improve scoring depth and the nastiness of the Hawks announced this morning that Kyle Beach will finally get his shot with the big club. He will skate on the third line with Marchand, and Carcillo against the Wings. Stan also went on to say that he felt the kid needs to see NHL time to see if it will be worth keeping him around next year.
Rumor has it that Stan Bowman is not done making moves, at least that is the tone coming out of the morning skate from the UC.... stay tuned...

Hawks were flying high coming off a 5-3-1 road trip that by all accounts was successful, however the last two games are cause for concern especially when the Hawks see who's next on the schedule. "We don't look past anyone in this league, anyone can beat anyone on any given night." Kane answered when being asked if his club looked past St. Louis to the Detroit game. Regardless the Wings are in town, and the Hawks need to be on top of their game or this division could be getting out of reach.
