Thanks, Nibby. I went to bed after the 4th period, and was going to watch the rest of the game today. What was that graphic they showed? The Hawks are 11-4 (now 12-4, apparently) in games 5 and 6 with the season on the line. Never count out the Hawks.

That stat also said that since Q has been there, undefeated in Game 6.

When the Hawks went down 3 games to 1 at home, I was concerned. Now we go back to the UC for game 6, but home ice hasn’t been that good to the Hawks lately. However, they've got a core of players who know how to win big games, and that counts for a lot. Crawford was brilliant last night (except for that one 60-footer he let go), and Kane finally scored. There is reason to hope.

Crawford was superb except for that first goal that Schwartz scored.
How many times in this series has Panarin entered the zone with no one else entering with him?
These were my thoughts during Game 4
When Q was juggling lines throughout the game, it really reminded me of how Torts would do that with the Rangers. I don’t like that. It’s a bit of a desperation move to find offense.
I think the Blues are just playing solid, complete hockey. Good defense, been able to shut down Kane and Toews’ lines, and strong goaltending. They know the way to beat Chicago is to be physical with them.
There’s still a chance Chicago can come back and win this series, but they’re gonna have to figure out a way to get their top forwards on the scoresheet quickly.

Well said. This would have been STL sweep without Crawford. My wife was watching the game with me, and I commented on how much trouble the Hawks were having clearing the zone. They are usually one of the best teams coming up the ice, but STL just shut them down and played probably 2/3 of the game in the offensive zone. Very little sustained CHI pressure. Saturday night should be interesting!

Difficult to sustain any pressure when the Blues are clogging the neutral zone like they are right now.
Crawford is the Blackhawks MVP of this series, regardless of the outcome.
