UA-59049186-1 Avalanche 4, Blackhawks 1 - Recap - Good if it Goes

Avalanche 4, Blackhawks 1 – Recap

The Hawks spent Friday night on the West Side, hosting the Colorado Avalanche. The Hawks would get out to a good start in this one, dominating the action in the early going, with the exception of a couple chances for Colorado that were denied. The Avs defense and goaltender Semyon Varlamov, who was stellar in his six previous starts versus the Blackhawks kept the puck out of the net, though, and we remained tied at 0.

Colorado began to step up their play in the second half of the period, and despite being on their heels for much of the game to that point, got the game’s first goal a little under thirteen minutes into the game. It was Tyson Barrie who beat Corey Crawford to give the Avs the early 1-0 lead. After the goal, it would be the Hawks who were on their heels, as the Avalanche completely captured the momentum. The Hawks would get a couple chances in the late minutes of the period, but nothing got past Varlamov and we would go into the first intermission with the score 1-0 in favor of the Avalanche.

The Hawks would start the second period well and would get the game’s first power play after John Mitchell was sent off for a hold. The Hawks would get a couple chances on the power play, but no goals. Following this, the game went back-and-forth with both teams getting shots, but neither lighting the lamp, until Kris Versteeg did so for the third time in the last four games on a play where Varlamov had no idea where the puck was. Versteeg’s goal came just over nine minutes into the period. The Hawks and Avs would again go back-and-forth following the Versteeg goal with both teams getting chances that were denied by the opposing team’s net minder.

The Avalanche would get their first power play of the game just under fourteen-and-a-half minutes into the period when Niklas Hjalmarsson slashed Gabriel Landeskog with Landeskog charging to the net. Landeskog unsuccessfully petitioned for a penalty shot and may have had a case. As broadcaster Pat Foley said, it’s easy to see why Landeskog wanted a penalty shot, as the Avalanche power play is struggling. Their struggles continued here, as the Hawks killed off the penalty. The final 1:50 of the period would be contested with four skaters a side, as Marian Hossa and Gabriel Landeskog were both sent to the box for cross-checking. The Hawks would get a couple great chances, but Varlamov made a couple great saves, and the teams went into the second intermission tied at 1, with ten seconds of 4-on-4 awaiting them on the other side of the break.

The remaining ten seconds of 4-on-4 passed uneventfully to begin the third. The Hawks, as they did in each of the previous two periods, got off to a good start in the third, controlling the action. The Avs would answer after a few minutes and we saw more back-and-forth hockey. The Hawks would get a power play just under eight minutes into the period when Landeskog tripped Bryan Bickell and was made to make another trip to the sin bin for doing so. The Hawks would get a couple chances on the man advantage, but no goals, and the game remained tied at 1. Less than a minute after the Avs’ penalty ended, the Hawks would commit two, when Hjalmarsson and Patrick Sharp were whistled for interference, giving the Avalanche a two-minute 5-on-3 power play. They would convert twenty-one seconds in on a goal by Landeskog, and then score again in 5-on-4 play 24 seconds later on Barrie’s second goal of the night. The lead would become 4-1 Colorado after Corey Crawford intended to play the puck and made an absolutely brainless mistake, one this is completely unforgivable given the amount of money he is making and the puck went under his stick and into the net. Brad Stuart was credited with the goal. The energy had mostly left the building and the team before Crawford’s brain fart and said brain fart only made things worse. The 4-1 score would hold for the remainder of the game and the Hawks’ seven-game point streak would come to an end.

My picks for 3 stars:

★★★ Gabriel Landeskog, LW, COL (1 G (GWG), 1 A)

★★ Semyon Varlamov, G, COL (27 SV, 1 GA)

★ Tyson Barrie, D, COL (2 G, 1 A)
