I give credit to Vancouver. They are kicking the Hawks' butts in every facet of the game. This is a total mismatch.

We're on our way out and we aren't even halfway into game 2. A typical series of events:

Turnover
turnover

missed pass

bad shot

vancouver 2 on 1
vancouver goal

Yeah really showing how weakened we are due to our cap situation, at least until some of our new guys can gain some consistency.

Vancouver reminds me a lot of our team last year (great depth and from everything I hear great chemistry), I will be pretty shocked if they don't win it all, they just have that look to them and the vibe I felt with the Hawks last year.

This is exactly what it is, losing as many key role players as we did killed us, last year no matter who was on the ice we didn't have a weak line.

This year we have so many young/unproven guys out there and theres been so much line juggling trying to find production theres just no chemistry or consistency.

Even when Vancouver was shorthanded it seemed like they had 10 guys out there.

There we go! Now we need to build on that and get one more before the period is out.

Finally Chicago scores!

Bickell driving to the net and Ben Smith cashes it in, finally a sign of life.

Smith has impressed me down the stretch, I look forward to seeing him more next year, Kruger as well this is the first time I've got to see him play this year.
