Not sure going forward, because I really haven't watched the Hawks enough to make a fair assessment on him. But it almost seems like the Hawks are one of those teams who are going to outgun you every game and score at least 4 goals, taking some pressure of the goaltending. He was up to the challange last night. But, it's tough to knock the guy after they won cup.

How good the Hawks were on faceoffs is a great point, they were absolutely dominant.

AWFUL goals, both by sharp and the anticlimactic winner by kane were pucks that should have been routine stops. Like i kept saying, leighton was playing on borrowed times anyways, they win the cup and he's the franchise 'tender for the flyers for years to come, instead he lets in those softies, he's gonna be on the waiver wire and up and down from A to the N all year long next season.

now is when the real fun begins, getting all those guys back under the cap for next season, especially when you have to justifiy contracts like huet and campbell, in which no other team will take on.

congrats hawks fans
