"Here's how cool Cody Hodgson is under pressure.

In the critical moment of Tuesday's it-felt-critical game, he got behind the Blackhawks' defence on a breakaway and just drifted into thought. He thought about how Dale Weise, of all players, told him to go high glove on Corey Crawford, even though Crawford had just made a big glove save on Daniel Sedin. He thought about what trainer Jamie Hendricks told him when, in the second intermission, they just happened to outline the exact scenario Hodgson was experiencing at that moment. About the only thing he didn't have time to think about was the 6,400-word essay his agent, Ritch Winter, had recently posted online."
