Ed Olczyk was asked early in the 2nd period why the Hawks have struggled this season, and he answered it properly. They can’t get every aspect of their game rolling on a consistent basis nightly. This is why they can’t put together one of their long winning/point streaks.
Last night was a perfect example. Vinnie Hinostroza has played great on the top line, and his speed has awaken Brandon Saad and Jonathan Toews. Vinnie sets up the Captain for a easy tap in goal early in the third period to give the Hawks a 4-3 lead.
