08:27 AM ET 04.14 | The Phoenix Coyotes checked, slammed and basically punched Blackhawks center Jonathan Toews on nearly every opportunity they had in Game 1. But no worries. Toews, who played in his first game after missing 22 in a row with a concussion, feels just fine. "I expected worse and that's not to undershoot what happened [Thursday] night," said Toews, who was one of several Hawks to take part in their optional skate Friday. "I'm going to be at the net. I'm going to be right there in front of the goalie every whistle and every chance they get they're going to take shots. I expected that. It's no big deal. I'm just happy with the way I dealt with it." Toews played 24:49 in his first game in nearly two months, scoring on his second shift and assisting on Brent Seabrook's overtime-forcing goal. If there was one blow that stood out, it was veteran and family friend Shane Doan slamming Toews to the ice in the second period behind the Coyotes goal. But Toews sprang right back up.

The Hawks, for one game, were out-hustled, outplayed, and finally outscored. The Yotes are always hard hitting.

Whatever it is it's working. So many teams have let this guy walk away including my team and all he has done is put solid points every year.

LOL - But they also got rid of Mike Commodore so I'm thinking they had trouble pronouncing Fort Saskatchewan.

How do teams think that a split means you keep home ice advantage let's say that both teams win all the rest of their home games I believe that would make the series over in 6 it's when they've split the first 4 games that they have got back the advantage not splitting at home 3 of the next 4 games are on the road

Sorry this wasn't meant at you ship but I heard at least 3 broadcasters state that they've got home ice advantage back when the series split. That is not the case
