Darling bailed us out a few moments last night. Other than that, this was the night of the Andrews, both Ladd and Shaw, both wanting a place on the Blackhawks roster next year. Only one of them truly deserves it and will come at a team friendly price. Let’s get into it.

There really should be no stars for last night. Nobody truly played well enough. But this is Brightside, so we’re going to try and look at the positives. Yes, there are some. Even in this 6-2 beating. Let’s get into it

Are we seriously not going to let Shaw, who was on the ice for both goals last night, into the shootout? I know he hasn’t been finishing but neither did Kane or Panarin. At least Shaw scored last night. Let’s get into it.

Scott Darling finally did it. A year after his first shutout he got his second. A legitimate full year. As Pat said, if we have a game next March 18th, Scott’s playing. We played well in front of him as well. Slump busted. Feels good to have stars in a winning game. Also felt good to stay tuned to the final minute. Let’s get into it.

Corey Crawford is reportedly day to day with an upper body injury.

Well, the blender started functioning again. And just when we needed to develop chemistry the most. Let’s get into it.

Well. Look’s like old problems are bubbling back to haunt us. We can’t score and we can’t help Corey Crawford out in any physical way. In other words, this team can’t win. Something needs to be done, because if we can’t get off our asses and play this year, we mortgaged our future for nothing. So… Let’s get into it. I guess.

Alright. That is not how the shootout order needs to be. That’s where we got beat. Teuvo is a great prospect, he’s gonna be the best third line center in the league someday. He’s not an offensive force. He’s not going to score on the shootout. Let’s get into it.

Hawks played well, plain and simple. Everyone was on their game, and the fact that Pavel Datsyuk was missing doesn’t hurt either. This is a game where the whole team showcased itself, and showed that the playoff run should be fun. Let’s get into it.

The Blackhawks continue to play abysmally in front of Darling. It must be they’re just not as confident with the young goalie in net than with Crawford. And that’s not a hard thing to believe, considering one is a top 5 netminder and one is only in the top 40 odd. We took a beating, and defense is mostly to blame. Let’s get into it.
