Hawks feel the Blues

St Louis Picayuuune (AP)

Rivalry games are the most important measuring stick in any sport. Can your team get up to play and compete with the added preasure and hatred of a rival. Last nights game between the Black Hawks pointed in a direction of Yes . . . .yes we can.

In a tightly contested game the Blue's eaked out a 3-2 win on the back of a strong performance by Nick Bonino who scored a goal and added 2 assists. Tanner Pearson scored the winner and his second goal of the game with less then 5 minutes left in the third.

"This game definately had a big game feel to it" Coach Nagurski stated in his post game presser, "and we had a lot of players step up".

The Blue's penalty kill was good as well killing 6 of 7 penalties and the Hawks were the more physical team with 27 hits to 23 hits by the Hawks.

"Am I concerned with dicipline? Absolutely, but at the same time, our penalty kill has been very good so far, so I don't see a problem with pushing the edge on physical plays and the occasional cheap shot to get our point across. The Blue's ain't messing around."

Raanta was outstanding as well turning aside 29 of 30 shots including some dangerous chances by Vincent Trocheck.

The Blue's are 4-0-1 since they staggered out of the gate with a 0-2 record

Off sides

Pontus Aberg came out of the lineup last night "We want to really take advantage of Pontus' special skills" stated GM CaptainCrunch "And the Zamboni needed a oil change and Aberg is passable at that"
