I invite all you temporary Blackhawk fans on board for tonight's game! Unfortunately, we will, once again, be sticking an AHL level defense out there, and hoping that Mrazek activates God mode. Offensively, it will be down to grinders to create chances. Bedard has been no better than OK, as he is learning that he can't, single-handedly, dangle his way to NHL goals, although he has had some success setting up Kurashev. Special teams wise, we gotta stay away from our PP, an anemic 10.2% with 5 SH goals allowed, and our wretched 77% PK. Plumbers Dickenson/Anderson/Foligno have been our hottest line, lately. And twice last week, against Anaheim 1-0, and the Blues 3-1, Mrazek was the entire story.
