I've been predicting a Hawks-Isles final at the beginning of every year for five years running now. One of those years they didn't even make the playoffs, but I see no reason to back down. I love John Tavares.

Anyway, the Isles are in a playoff spot again after being awful to start the year, but it's a precarious grip with the Panthers, Maple Leafs, Lightning, and even Sabres still in the hunt. The Bruins could drop down into the race if the Leafs move up.

Crawford is in, Darling is hurt, won't dress. My inclination would be to spot-start Jeff Glass and spot Long Island the points tonight because they need 'em more than we do, then concentrate on beating Nashville in regulation tomorrow nigh t with a rested Crawford. However, if, IF, we chase points and catch Minnesota after all, getting one of these shit wild card teams looks awfully enticing.

I forgot NY was the team that gave Ladd that awful contact. You never notice him on the ice anymore

Hawks are sleepwalking through this one. I'm here with the kids... Boring game thus far.

I was excited when they got him last year. Went to two games after he was acquired and never noticed him. So disappointing. Luckily Dano looks meh and we didn't loose the second draft pick but yeah.

Jesus, Greiss is standing on his head tonight.

Saweet!!!!

Toews winning that face off cleanly from the great John Taveras directly led to that goal.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

Breadman again! 2 points, not pretty but I'll take it

Kind of a letdown with a shootout win, but great end and OT.

Best possible outcome: Hawks get two points and win six in a row, Isles get a loser point to keep the Leafs at bay.

EDIT: Blues lost 3-0 to the Jets. Fuck them, they're done, get the fuck out of the playoff field.

You mean to tell me that the washed up overpaid, over rated Toews did something better than the great leader Taveras?

Panik has been beasting of late. No goals tonght but he was all over the ice again.

Darling out three weeks. That's not good.
