Great game. Love Jooris and the usual suspects (Monahan, Giordano, Brodie, Hudler...)
- Looks to me like Glencross is missing some strength from his hands. Some odd weak passes and slow to shoot.
- 'Hawks pretty blatantly attacked the weak links in our defense; Engelland, Smid and especially Diaz. I thought Diaz did okay under those circumstances. Still not a great player, but seems to be calming down.
- A little surprised that Bollig got so little icetime. He looked pretty good when he was on the ice I think.
- Even though we didn't win, we passed another test. Chicago needed their best effort plus a bit of luck to beat us tonight. No better teams in the NHL than the 'Hawks, so that's a big deal.

I wonder if it is a back or an ab/rib issue. He seems to struggle in tight when stopped or on getting his body aligned with his feet on the first step.
