Congrats to the Chicago Blackhawks for a thrilling 3-0 shutout of the Detroit Red Wings tonight, and for their second shutout of the Red Wings in four days. It was vintage Hawks as their #1 ranked goals per game average, and #2 ranked penalty killing percentage were on full display at The Joe. Not only did the Hawks look very crisp with their passing and stickhandling, but the game itself was also chippy, with plenty of pushing, shoving and glove smelling on both teams part. Once again Antti Niemi showed that he might be more than just a capable backup tending the net as he posted his 4th shutout in 9 starts, and pushed the Hossa storyline to the back burner, even though Hossa had an assist. It was also a very important bounce-back victory after a bit of a downer loss to the San Jose Sharks the night before. The Hawks are now tied with the Sharks for the most points in the West with 51. The Blackhawks continue to put a quality product on the ice that their (ever increasing) fanbase can put their trust in, but the NHL as a whole continues one of the biggest and unlikeliest comebacks in terms of relevance in the world of sports.
