Crawford's foot is in a boot because he "missed a step" at a concert.

Oh jeeze. I'd heard "off-ice lower body injury." Bummer.

It was a Rise Against concert at the House of Blues.
Also, Reuben, thanks for the link.

That steel by Saad to lead to the Kruger goal was a thing of beauty. Was good to see him get that one, looks like he's been battling it lately.

Was nice to see the moment of silence at the United Center for Beliveau before the anthems.

So Raanta the other day (in the quietest 40 Dave effort I've seen in a while) was apparently the first Chicago goalie to post 40 saves and allow just one goal since Craig Anderson in 04.

Would be nice if Anderson did that again soon.

11-2-0 in the past 13. 6 straight wins. Most of them being on the road and against a lot of quality playoff bound teams. Could not be happier to look at the division standings right now and see the Hawks back where they belong.

Sports Illustrated wrote:In his first NHL game, a 3--2 loss in Philadelphia in February '10, Subban challenged towering Flyers defenseman Chris Pronger, perhaps the nastiest player of his generation, during a scrum at the end of the third period. "He's got one guy in one hand and one guy in another," Subban says. "I come right in the middle, grab him and say, 'Let him go, let him go.' And he didn't say anything. I say, 'I'm not scared of you.' He says, 'God, your breath stinks. Can you get out of here?' " Subban takes a swig of sparkling water and continues the story. "Next night we're playing them in Montreal. The puck gets rimmed out of the zone on a power play, and I'm in front of the Philly bench. I stop just before the red line, getting ready to rim it back around after our forwards tag up. As I'm winding up I look over, and the player coming out of the [penalty] box is Pronger. All I see coming over my shoulder is orange. He's coming to kill me. So I follow through with my shot and as I recoil, I kinda duck down over my right shoulder and slip out of a check as he starts to throw it. He trips over my back leg and falls into the boards face-first. As I'm backing away, I see [Flyers wing] Ian Laperrière, and he's got a funny face, like, Oh, my God. And I'm laughing and Pronger's yelling, 'You bailed! You bailed!' If you can believe, the words out of my mouth were 'Suck it, Prongs.' "

I heard that! A buddy of mine at work is a big Bruins fan, so naturally we were talking hockey this morning and he brought it up. Really want to get some tickets for this weekend, but Army-Navy game obligations and Ludacristmas parties complicate the issue.

Re: Hockey Talk mk. 2014-15
For sure. Hawks looked like they were on the PP for the entire third tonight. Puck movement was a thing of beauty.
As pretty as that Sharp goal was, I still sorta wish they'd have shopped him in the off season. All star, consistently among team leaders in goals, but a shoot first dude who drains his teammates of possession and has frequent defensive lapses and/or games where he sorta just floats around waiting for one of his better teammates to get him the puck. Would've gotten a good return and helped free up cap space in a trade. Still admire his good looks though.

I really miss living in Chicago. Would be nice to be hanging around with Hawk people these days, even if it'd probably drive the wife nuts.
