Blackhawks, Brawls And Brewskies
Since tedious analysis is the stuff of "power rankings," each Monday NHL Closer writer Greg Wyshynski uses a form of universal expression: Success in terms of beer. Before we get to the fury of fists that was Oilers/Canucks, welcome to The Brewmeister Ratings...
Winner No. 1: Chicago Blackhawks. The Indian? Committed to. The offense? Kicking ass, to the tune of 15 goals in their last three games, all wins against Western Conference teams they're chasing.

And that's when his hat trick on consecutive goals occurred — in the first quarter. It was only 5-0 after one trimester, and the Hawks had scored five goals on seven shots. If nobody wants to give Ilya Bryzgalov credit for the two goals he stopped, then I will. Great two saves, Bryzgalov. Byfuglien threw in a fourth point in an assist for good measure, and after a 6-1 blowout, Chicago is tied for second in the Western Conference with 30 points. More »
