Man, talk about a "must-win", the Blues shootout win at the Madhouse last night was a real-nail biter. With their new additions on defense (Leopold, Boumeester) and a more-confident Elliott in goal, we looked a lot more in control last night. Problem is....man, the Hawks are a good team! They have so much speed and skill, no weaknesses. They are one of those rare teams who seems to have the ability to kick it into a higher gear at will. I saw examples of that a couple of times last night. We were damned lucky to beat them but I'll sure take it.
