The Blackhawks did almost everything right last night vs. the Sharks, but it was just one of those games where the opponents goalie stood on his head. Evgeni Nabokov stopped forty-five of the forty-seven shots faced. He even staved off the late third period surge – led by Marian Hossa and Patrick Kane. Nabokov did all he could to prevent another embarrassing five-goal loss at the hands of Blackhawks.
I hate repeating my self, but something has to happen with this power play. Seven times the Blackhawks had the man-advantage, and each time they failed to convert. Suggestion, take Dustin Byfuglien off the unit. Really, it’s all I want for Christmas.
Eager Update – Ben Eager’s upper-body injury is not related to the concussion-like symptoms that kept him out of thirteen games earlier this season. Whatever it is that ails him, Eager hasn’t been nearly as affective on the fourth line as he was last season.
