Hawks and Kings battle for runner-up spot to the Rangers tonight



I'm just saying.....and when you lose the hitting battle by more than a 2-1 ratio and face-offs by a 3-2 split, on the other guys frozen pond, you are looking to get more than your ticket punched. 

Hawks better pick up the pace after the first intermission.

Old Coach Q must have laid down the law during the first intermission, because the Hawks turned things around, with some early help from the refs, who have been know to cheat on occasion. 
Hawks evening out the faceoffs but seem willing to take a hit to win the game. This passive - aggressive thing really seems to be working out for the boys, eh? Refs are still cheaters. 
I'm drawing the line at midnight though. After that I don't much care who wins, given that I know they lose to the Rangers. Sucks to get old and cranky. And prescient.
