PS:  Marian Hossa took a forearm to the back of the head and fell to the ice.  He skated off on his own power, but did not return to the game.  He will be evaluated today.  All of Blackhawk Nation hopes it is nothing and he can return as quickly as possible to keep his fantastic season going.

2 goals scored, and then a forearm to the back of the head?  The league and Brendan Shanahan MUST look into this hit.
