Is Elliott out for awhile or what? Don't follow the Blues too much.

Anticipating great game tomorrow night. Re-arranging my work schedule to see this baby.

Crow hurt so Raanta will be in net.

Great circus road trip for the Hawks, they seem to be hitting their stride somewhat.

I'm guessing that Elliot must be significantly injured. It's a shame that Jake Allen is getting instantly benched for Brodeur. Allen's had a great year.

nice win by the 'Hawks over the Blues ... tight game until the 3rd period

Versteeg is now apparently fully recovered from that knee issue over a year ago

Great game. Helluva play by Saad on the first goal. Great determination and steal by him followed by a nice pass to Kruger.

What can you say about Kane? Guy has it rolling this year.

Versteeg seems fully recovered from the knee and is paying dividends big time this year. Glad they stuck with him.

Raanta played a helluva game as well. Hawks own the Blues in Chicago, 12-0-2 in last 14 games there.

Hawks keep rolling 8 in a row. Backup goalies looking really good.

Toews takes a shot tonight. Got a feeling he may miss a game or two.

Kane!! What can you say about this dude. Joniak needs to record a, "Patrick Kane, you are ridiculous!!!"

It's the seasonal Jonathan Toews Concussion Celebration.

He got nailed. I believe the guy will be suspended a few games. Kane was the only Hawk that went and got in the Bruins face. Watch out when the Bruins come to Chicago.

Coyotes' Boedker has spleen removed after hard hit
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) Arizona Coyotes leading scorer Mikkel Boedker is listed as week-to-week after having his spleen removed last weekend.

The left wing was injured in Sunday's game against Winnipeg after taking a hard hit. He kept playing, but later had to leave the game and had surgery later that night.

Boedker was out of the lineup Tuesday against Chicago, ending his consecutive games streak at 257 - fourth-longest in team history.

I haven't watch much of the Blackhawks this season yet. I don't know what it is, but I think after years of long playoff runs, I'm just a bit burned out. I'll pick up the slack once the Bears stop making news.

Let me catch you up...

Chronologically, of course:
Crawford is amazing!
Crawford needs to go!
Crawford is hurt, he'll be fine when he comes back!

I'll watch a game here and there if I don't have something going on, and there isn't other sporting events on (Iowa State Basketball.) Once the Bears stop making news and college basketball is over, hockey will become a lot more interesting, just in time for the most important part of the season.

looked like a pro team against a local college ... but I enjoyed it since it was the Coyotes playing the role of the local college

Shaw finally woke up from about a two week slumber and a benching the last game. Tevo is starting to come on a bit. Kids needs to put on about 15 lbs. Raanta continues to be a solid backup goalie. I believe he has been a little more consistent than Crow (since Crow's tripping at a concert).

Kaner continues his ways as well. Toews always consistent.

Going to a game in St Louis in April. Helluva lot cheaper to see the Hawks there. Tix were about 1/2 what you pay in Chicago.

Shocking. Never thought I would see that happen. Kind of surprised it happens at all with all that talent. last night they just seemed out of sync. they were zombie like. they need to turn this shit around. If it wasn't for Crawford the game could have been a lot worse.
