I counted as many bad penalties by the Oilers as I did bad calls by the referees. Both did a good job handing the Hawks the win.
|
I worry we're starting to sound like Canucks fans.
I counted as many d-men being played above their current capabilities as bad penalties and bad calls combined.
|
Oh I don't think the team was playing great in general, but they were good enough to have the lead until the final two goals. The Hawks are the team MUCH MORE determined to win this series thus far.

Frustrating game. I thought the Oilers looked decent through two periods, but they showed no killer instinct in the third period. It didn't feel like we ever really threatened to make it 4-2 and put the game away. They backed off, and tried to protect the lead. Some of that might have been shortening the bench - players were likely tired.
I also really think they need to work out a different plan on point shots. The Blackhawks have developed a game plan that is working. They're getting shots through. The Oilers are trying to block often with the defencemen down low, which creates two issues - 1) they keep tipping pucks in their own net. Bear got one in off him, Russell's tipped one in in each of the last two games. 2) Are they giving adequate focus to the 'Hawks players in front of the nets? Again, guys are able to get position in front of Koskinen and they're getting tips too. I'd really like to see them make an adjustment there.
The one other adjustment I'd like to see is on the penalty kill. I'd like to see them a little more aggressiveness on the puck carrier, especially down low. Letting Kane have room to dance is a recipe for disaster. When we do retrieve the puck, we have to be a little better about taking a second to find the hole and sending it down the ice. Getting clearing attempts picked off is a killer, and a lot of the time it's because the Oilers are rushing things a bit too much. Bear has been the most evident there (in part because he's doing a better job than most on puck retrieval), but across the board, we're struggling to get the puck out on the PK, and that results in a lot of PPs with 100+ seconds of pressure.
It is still a very winnable series though. All we need is two wins and we're on.
