Dan Bylsma on the Blackhawks
Dan Bylsma wrote:We don’t get to see them very often and when we do it’s mostly the highlights of them. They’re very good lately, 9-1 in their last 10, 5-0 in their last five. (Ray) Emery is playing extremely well for them in net. You can talk about (Patrick) Sharp with his goal scoring as of late, Patrick Kane and Toews and the whole staff. Their power play on the road is right around 26 percent so it’s dangerous in that regard. It’s not a pleasant thing to watch on video. It’s pretty dangerous, their power play, and they’ve been pretty good at that. We expect a very skilled team that will come at you with a lot of skill, but a lot of speed as well. Their defense will be joining. (Duncan) Keith is a factor everywhere on the ice, especially up ice and in the offensive zone. He’s a guy you have to be aware of, especially with the way that he can be found with the skill players. Kane and Hossa is a get-up-ice player to make plays. We’re expecting a real nice match tonight against the Blackhawks.
We are going to plant an idea in Hossa's head. The idea that he should have never left Pittsburgh.
Scouting Report: Chicago Blackhawks
Last 10
8 - 1 - 1
Chicago coach Joel Quenneville, 53, won his 600th game behind the bench on Sunday after his team scored a 4-2 victory over the Calgary Flames. Steve Montador, Niklas Hjalmarsson, Patrick Kane and Marian Hossa each scored goals for Chicago, which improved to 7-0-1 in the month of December. The Hawks also took sole possession of the top spot in the League from the Minnesota Wild (who played in Vancouver on Monday night) with 46 points. Captain Jonathan Toews gave the puck to his coach in the locker room.
"I went in there and (Toews) gave me the puck and I told them that all it means is I'm getting old," said Quenneville, who has coached three teams and has a career mark of 600-364-150 over 14 seasons. "They all feel good. There's nothing better than winning."
