It wasn’t the prettiest performance that we’ve seen from the Blackhawks this year, but the important part is that they managed two points in their shootout win over the Florida Panthers on Thursday night.
The Hawks got off to a fast start, but that effort appeared to fade as the game went on. A sloppy third period saw the puck in the Chicago end most of the time, leading to the game becoming much closer than it likely should have been.
Jonathan Toews got the scoring started early, with a tip-in goal after Andrew Brunette forced a turnover. Though the Hawks were outshot 15-7 in the period, Florida didn’t mount too many great chances against Corey Crawford, who was solid all night.

Normally when you see a hockey video on the Internet, it is for some spectacular save. In the case of Hannu Toivonen, it’s the complete opposite. The Finnish goalie made the brutal mistake of allowing a goal from the opposite blue line. Rogle defensemen Jesper Jensen let a shot fly from his own blue line and Toivonen, the goalie for Malmo was unable to stop it.
