The weak Blackhawk offense limps on. Four breakaways, yet, none seemed even close to threatening, like breaking away just to jam the puck into Markstrom's leg pad. Even with the goalie pulled, my guys couldn't get off the perimeter to attack "high danger" areas.
On the other hand, the Flames didn't, exactly, turn the screws on Mrazek, either. The one goal, a PP, was a lucky deflection off of a D-Man's skate straight to an open Lindholm's stick. Honestly, if Tinordi doesn't get in the way, that one is right to Mrazek's leg pad.
Just not much to see in the game last night. Your guy Kylington made some mental errors that the toothless Blackhawks couldn't do anything with. And his return seemed to be the only plotline of the whole contest.
