Coach Q must have got thru to the boys in between periods as they came out with some noticeable jump. Patrick Kane was able to weave thru some traffic and finish off a beauty from Sharp and Toews at the 1:29 mark of the first period to put the Hawks in front. A short three and a half minutes later Michael Frolik was the beneficiary off a great end to end rush by Marian Hossa who slid a feed into the slot right on the stick of Frolik for an easy tap in and a 2-0 lead early in the second. The Av's would not pack it in however as they stuck to their game and started generating chances from the point as well as down low. A reward coming at 12:48 of the second period when Paul Stastny one timed a shot low thru Emery's five hole to cut the deficit to 1. Replay's showed the puck going off Lepisto's stick but Stastny was given credit for the marker. Exactly four minutes later David Jones tied it up on another slot breakdown by the Hawks D leaving Jones all alone in front, nothing Emery could do, we head to the third tied at 2.
Sometimes coach knows best, not always, but sometimes. Apparently this was one of the times where he did know best. Andrew Brunette who has been unhappy of late, and a healthy scratch the last 6 games was re inserted into the lineup and made sure people noticed. He received a slick pass from Mayers and made a beauty of move going forehand backhand and over Varlamov at 17:50 of the third period to give the Hawks a 3-2 lead which would prove to be the difference, solid victory for the Hawks which is their third straight, and 5th out of 6 games.
NO PICS OR VIDS FOR THIS ONE

The Hawks have seen this movie before, go on the road to face a high powered Eastern Conference opponent, and before you know it you are chasing multiple goals. The Flyers were able to strike for three goals in the first, all of them being questionable which led to Corey Crawford being pulled in favor of Ray Emery. The Flyers are outshooting the Hawks 10-7 and hold a 3-0 lead as we head to the 2nd period. Things could get much worse fast, the Hawks have 1:30 remaining on a Dan Carcillo penalty, if they want any chance to remain in this game they need to kill this one off.The second started much like the first, a 4th liner from the Flyers finding the back of the net halfway thru the 2nd to give Philly a 4-0 lead. Most teams would fold the tent after how the first 30 minutes have gone but to the Hawks credit they have stuck with things to try and make it a game. With 4 minutes left in the period the Rat struck again beating Bryz on wrister while shorthanded cutting the lead to 3. Less then 2 minutes after that just after Lepisto got out of the box he found himself staring at an empty net off of a rebound from a Hossa shot and made not mistake cutting the deficit to two. Bryz looks shaky, Hawks need to keep getting pucks at the net to see if they can generate good looks off of rebounds, next goal is huge obviously.
Some games are remembered when it comes to the end of the year, for whatever reason they are remembered. Mark this one, circle it on the calendar, the Hawks, trailing 4-0, looking tired and disinterested with 30 minutes to play in the game fought all the way back to win 6-4 in regulation. So many plays, storylines, it's amazing, quite possibly the best game I've ever been a part of. Hawks needed an early goal in the third to make sure this one wasn't completely out of reach and that is exactly what they got on a horrible play by Bryzgalov. He made the save and with Sharp crashing decided to clear the puck to the corner, only it didn't get to the corner and it ended up on Sharps stick and then the back of the net to make it 4-3 Flyers. The Hawks pressured throughout the 3rd period with no luck, a chance here or there but nothing would get past Bryzgalov. Then the young stars of the Hawks took over, Toews and Kane led a textbook 2 on 2 which ended with Kane saucering a backhanded no look pass to Toews who powered it into the empty net for the game tying goal with 3:40 remaining. Flyers fans and players alike were stunned, and that was evident in the next couple of shifts for the Hawks, they were swarming. Then it happened, Nick Leddy unloaded a booming shot from the point which was tipped by Kruger, Bryz made a huge stop but left a rebound for none other than former Flyer DAN CARCILLO who pumped it home with 43 seconds remaining to give the Hawks an improbable 5-4 lead. On the ensuing shift the Flyers got the puck deep and Emery had to make a fairly easy stop which then led to Kane and Sharp going the other way and Sharp putting the puck into the empty net to cap an amazing rally, and game, Hawks win 6-4! I'm exhausted.

This is my first attempt at doing what I really want to do with the highlights. Really pi**ed that I lost some quality, still working on it. Here is the awesome comeback, I will post the other HQ videos if need be.
Hawks Erase 4 Goal Defecit, Beat Flyers!!

Just as one power play sparked the Hawks momentum in the first the same could be said for the Edmonton power play in the second. The Oilers had a large amount of zone time during their power play early in the second period but were unable to solve Crawford as he made two outstanding saves. The Oilers seemed to build off of that power play as the carried the play for the majority of the period before the Rat made a difference. The Hawks had a fantastic 30+ second shift in the Edmonton zone culminating with Bollans deflecting a Montador shot from the point past Dubnyk to give the Hawks a 1-0 lead and that is where we stand headed to the third period.
Goaltenders put on a show in this one. The third period was wide open, but neither goaltender would crack. The whole period was played 5 on 5 and the Hawks and Oilers went back and forth each getting 12 shots for the period. Crawford was outstanding, while his team played well enough to win this game he definitely was the difference. He made several big stops in the latter half of the third period, a solid victory for the Hawks as they now travel to Philadelphia which is always a difficult place to play.
GAME HIGHLIGHTS
Scary Moment for Sharp
What a Shift, Bolland Deflects it Home

Depending on how this one shakes out the Red Wings might have a legit complaint about the Hawks second goal which gave them a 2-1 advantage. Viktor Stalberg seemed to have a step on Kronwall when Kronwall leveled Stalberg sending him right into Howard knocking him down. The puck slid loose and Hossa picked it up and buried it into the open net, call was a good goal on the ice to give the Hawks the edge. Special teams continue to be a concern for the Hawks, well, at least the PK. Detroit struck for the second time on the PP tonight as Dan Cleary finished off a neat 2 on 1 to even the game up at 2. The second period was a little tighter defensively as the Hawks and Wings only combined for 15 total shots, giving the edge to the Wings for the game at 19-15 as we head to the third period.
Hawks game out with a purpose in the third and struck gold early as Jonathan Toews put them out front 3-2 with a goal less then a minute into the period. The fast paced hockey continued throughout the third period, with teams trading chances. Sure fire Hall of Famer Niklas Lidstrom found some open ice half way thru the third period and let go a dipping slap shot that made it thru all the bodies in front and past Crawford to tie it up. Less then two minutes later the Red Wings did what they do best, capatilize on a turnover. A bad giveaway by Kruger lead to Filppula alone in the slot and he made no mistake beating Crawford with a wicked wrister. The Hawks trailing by one didn't quit, Howard had to make several big saves down the stretch. The Hawks pulled their goalie with 40 seconds left which led to a big scramble in front with Marian Hossa getting a prime change on the doorstep but Howard was better, and the Wings hung on for the two points, really good game.
GAME HIGHLIGHTS
Franzen Puts the Wings in Front
Leddy Ties it at 1 - Wicked Wrister
Crawford With the Huge Stop
Hossa Scores Disputed Goal
Cleary Ties It
Toews Puts the Hawks in Front
Hossa Gets Laid Out

Finally, the Central Division showdown that everyone has waited for. The Hawks and Wings have yet to meet so this one is well overdue. The two best teams in the league square off on a Friday Night in front of a packed UC. Look for both teams to bring their best.

Well if you can't score from the front of the net you should try to score from behind it, and that's exactly what Jonathan Toews did on the power play late in the second period. The Hawks PP created some opportunities but the Kings do such a good job of keeping shots on the perimeter so the Hawks couldn't get anything to the net with any kind of traffic. Toews found the puck behind the net and somehow elevated it over the net and off the back of Quick and into the net. What a game so far, a definite playoff preview here, hard hitting, and not a lot of room out there, exciting third period is ahead as we are knotted at 1.
What more can we ask for? Another hard hitting, playoff like period that leaves the game tied at 1 heading for overtime. The Hawks have responded nicely to their recent skid by playing two solid defensive games, and hopefully walking away with two straight victories. Again, not a lot of room in the offensive zones, anytime a player had some time it was gone in a flash as he was taken off the puck by a hard clean hit. This one has been low scoring but it has been a gem. OT should lead to a few more offensive chances, hopefully Crawford is up for the test, he has been so far as he continues to rebound from some subpar efforts.
Duncan Keith, hero! After a hard fought 60+ minute game a Duncan Keith slap shot from the point goes off of Quick and into the net. A very soft goal for Quick to give up as it looked like he was able to track it right off the stick. A huge win for the Hawks in that they get two points, but they show that they can play with the other elite teams in the NHL.
GAME HIGHLIGHTS:
Hossa Sets the Tone With a Huge Hit
Dustin Brown Opens the Scoring
Improbable Goal From Toews, How Did That Go In??
Slo-Mo of Toews Ridiculous Goal
Keith Wins it in OT!

The Hawks will come out looking for revenge when these two Western powers meet, the last highly anticipated bout between these two wasn't much of a fight at all with the Kings skating to a 6-2 victory in LA.

So far so good. The Hawks have put together their most physical and all around solid 40 minutes of the season. The result is only a 1-0 lead, but at this point the Hawks are carrying the play and trending toward a victory. Viktor Stalberg created an offensive zone turnover, fed Hossa who made Mason look like Steve Passmore to make it 1-0. The Hawks are outshooting Columbus 19-12 and out hitting them 13-7 thur two periods of play.
Hard work for 60 minutes pays off for the Hawks. Leading 1-0 heading to the third period the Hawks only allowed 4 shots for the whole period. Defensively it was the best effort of the year for the Hawks. On the offensive side of things the Hawks excelled, outshooting the Blue Jackets 32 -16 and carrying the play for the entire game. This should put to rest some angst surrounding the club as two points always does.
NO PICS OR VIDS AGAIN. I WILL BE BACK WITH VIDS AND PICS FOR TOMORROW'S GAMES! PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK, HOPE YOU LIKE THE DYNASTY.

The Hawks, now losers of 3 of 4 games are back on UC ice to face the Blue Jackets after four days off. Expect the Hawks to come out with some jump, Corey Crawford back in the net.
RUMOR: Andrew Brunette is being shopped, he is a healthy scratch for the second straight night.

As mentioned early, a long way to go. The Habs came of flying all over, including into Emery twice, which led to Emery getting into a fight and the game getting very chippy. Shortly after the fight the Habs struck, scoring twice within two minutes to make it a one goal game just like that. The Hawks were outshot 13-3 in the period, thus leaving all the momentum on the side of the Habs as we enter the third period with the Hawks hanging on to a one goal lead.
When things are going bad, things are going bad. With less then five minutes left in the third period Scott Gomez was the recipient of an amazing pass from Kostitsyn as he kicked the puck to the slot and Gomez had an wide open net to pot the tying goal. The Hawks have blown a 3 goal lead and head to overtime on the power play as Carcillo was boarded near the end of regulation. It looked like a major but a minor was all that was given out. The Hawks came out flying in the 3rd and carried the play throughout, unfortunately Peter Budaj stood on his head. The Hawks outshot the Habs 16-7 in the third and 33-29 for the game so far. If the Hawks can manage to get two points the blown lead will be forgotten and they can focus on the positives from this one. To overtime we go tied at 3.
The Hawks carried the play in overtime but once again Peter Budaj was too much. Each team has earned a point as we head to the skills competition.
Horrible loss, Hawks will take the point, but blowing a 3 goal lead on home ice is inexcusable. This back to back against the Pens and Habs were huge and the Hawks only got 1 point out of 4, not a happy bunch right now.
