Got home from work and watched the Oil/'Hawk game through the magic of DVR...

Impressions;

The Oil scored on two broken plays...the kind where it is on reaction, instinct and luck...the 'Hawks scored two of the three on pure talent, Kane's and Hossa's...Rozival leads a rush that Stalberg is able to poke in. About Stalberg, in the 1st, one of the Oil took a shot at Seabs after a late whistle, and it was Stalberg that came in to confront the Oil player. I like seeing a guy come to the defense of a tougher teammate, Stalberg got a plus in my good books for that.

Again, the bouncing puck was a 'Hawk goalie's friend, the Oil missed a couple gaping net sides, much the same way the BJs did yesterday.

Khabibulin gave his guys a chance to win, and really was solid behind an overmatched defense. 5 on 5 the Oil had chances but no finishes...often too many passes, IMO, trying for "pretty" weak side plays...better for a team with their speed to shoot and crash for rebounds, like the one that Stalberg scored for my guys.

Saad got into Q's doghouse after a couple of O-Zone penalties...we will have to see if it was just for tonight.
