The hawks came out flying only for the game to settle down into an L.A. Kings kinda tempo. The Indian Head struck first as Jonathan Toews gets a Short-Handed Goal to make it 1-0 Hawks. Not even 40 some odd seconds later the Monarchs strike as Russian Slaya Voynov get a slapper by Hawks Net Minder Corey Crawford to make it 1-1 as the Kings capitalize on the Power play again! Then going to the net Captain Serious strikes again with a Wrister to make it 2-1 at the end of one.
All that changed in Period 2 as that Jeff Carter Line went to work and almost midway through the 2nd Carter gets a wrister past Crawford to tie it up 2-2. The Hawks missed four Power Play Opportunities and that is starting to weigh on the Indian Head. Almost six minutes late Tyler Toffoli breaks away as both Hawks Swedish Defenders Jhonny Oduya and Nicholas Hjalmarsson missed him and he goes Wrister Five-Hole past "Craw-Dad" to make it 3-2 and that core lasted through the 2nd.
In the 3rd frame right at the end of a Kings Power Play Drew Doughty gets a Slapper past Craw-Dad top make it 4-2 and as the Hawks Patrick Sharp finally gets on the board with 4.2 seconds remaining in the game and the Monarchs win 4-3 and move up 2-1 in the Series. Crawford stopped 28 of 32 shots and Quick halted 24 of 27 shots. Hawks only had 7 shots on goal in the 3rd and 4 of them came with a under a minute left with the game already out of whack.
Hawks 2nd Line getting taking to the $2 Car Wash as Michal Rozsival is having all sorts of Issues with Jeff Carter. It's not just "Rosie" though as the Kings went after Game 3 and got it. Kings gave Hawks four straight Power Plays three being in Frame 2 and the Indian Head goes 0-4 and that is not going to get you into the Stanley Cup Finals. Major Hawks Adjustments are on he horizon and they need to come out firing as the Kings have been playing every series up and down!
Game 4 at Staples on Monday Memorial Day 2K14 at 8pm ET...as Hawks Nation this your Captain the Bluedude its going to be uncomfortable at the Memorial Day BBQ's and Family Outing as I will leave the Seat Belt Light on until we hit O'Hare early Tuesday Morning all knotted up 2-2!
Note: Carter Line has 15 points in the Series in just three games...Hawks Nation grab the First Aid Kit!
