Blackhawks Press Release

The Blackhawks welcomed Eric Staal to the team before tonights games. We are hoping that Staal is the much needed player the team needs to have to take over first place from the Maple Leafs. Going into tonights games the Hawks were sitting just 3 points behing the Leafs. The Blackhawks watched the leafs loose to the blues giving them a chance to make it a slight margin between the two teams. The blackhawks came out tonight and won both of there games that they played putting them 1 point behind the maple leafs with the hawks still having one game in hand. The blackhawks played the detroit red wings in there first game and came out beating them 7-5. GM Brent watched mike green put up 2 more points in this game and center nokelainen put up another couple points. In the second game the hawks played the seals beating them 10-9. A very high scoring tilt that seen the blackhawks have a little more offence in them. Eric Staal in his second game here scored a goal and got 3 assists to go with it all. This looks like the center that the hawks might have needed the whol year. Look for more high scoring games like tonights in the near future.
