This game seemed predictable.
#Blackhawks beat the red-hot Habs. Then, get smoked by a floundering NYR team, who were on a back-to-back, & whose goalie played his first game of the season.
Wonderful effort
The Bears finally beat the Pack!

Oliver Moore has had a short-handed opportunity in every game this tournament.
Would have been a huge tying goal for USA, but encouraging to see him create those chances.
Very good penalty killer

The #Blackhawks penalty kill has been the best aspect of their team this season.
Saved their butts in the third period, and allowed Connor Bedard to get that winning goal with 54 seconds left.
HUGE. Big win for them.

I really hope Drew Commesso succeeds as the backup, too. Tall task for him, but it’s an opportunity!

First period jump wore off quickly. Lots of kinks for the new coach to iron out, as expected.
Those last 2 periods were just really bad hockey. But again, it didn’t have to be that way. They had the lead at one point.

I cannot believe I’m actually counting down the minutes to this game.
Considering the #Blackhawks should have won their last WPG game, I think they’ll be looking for redemption.
Also looking forward to seeing if they play with more “tempo”, that Sorensen mentioned yesterday.
