[A] Dead Locked: CHI 2, VAN 3

[LordKOTL]

If he would have made the goal, I would have still commented on his passing. But, his last pas was the beauty to Hammer, so I'm hoping it was a temporary thing and against the oil he got the jitters out of his system.



Personally, if there's someone to "blame" for the loss, I blame Q. I think he over-utlized Morrisson and under-utilized Scott.

 

[BigPete]

'm pretty sure #2 and #7 were on the ice for all three goals.

I tuned in just in time to see OT. The winning goal was definitely 2&7's fault. More so 2, but they were both covering the front of the net and failed to eliminate the pass from behind or the shooter camping above the crease.





I want to hear more rumint about Q and management...

 

[Ton]

Keith and Seabs were not on the ice for all 3 goals.



The first goal was 2 and 8, Q's dumb obsession with pairing Leddy and Keith together.



Seabrook was a zero on the night and Keith a minus-2. To Keith's credit, Q played him for a little more than half the game... not even joking about that one--30:22 TOI.

 

[PatrickShart]

Or was it after Hjarlllmarsson blocked that shot and missed several shifts?

At this point, why does he not dress just 5 Dmen and 13 forwards?



Alos, I know it was overtime, but that slash on Stalberg on his brekaway was pretty blatant.

If it happened to one of the sisters it would probably be a penalty shot.

Nuh uhhhh, you forgot the 3:37 of overtime stoooopid. THought I would throw it out there before someone else did. haha. We get your point, what a rediculous amount of time for him. The Box I saw only said 28:23 but maybe that didn't take into account the OT. I like to call this the John Scott stupidity effect. When you dress him but only play him 5 minutes, his partner gets much less time too, which means a lot more time for keith and seabs who only had like 3 minutes less than Keith.

 

[Ton]

You mean two shifts before that where Keith and Leddy were together regardless? They were taking shifts together prior to that and after the fact, regardless of the shot block, same with Hjalmarsson and Seabs!



The fact is, our top 5 defenseman rotated partners all game because Q refused to play Scott. The brunt of the load rested on Keith.

Seabs got away with a boarding call right after on Kesler.



Regardess, terrible D on the OT goal.

 

[Ton]

The sad part is, everyone but the players on the ice could see the play developing for that goal. That said, it was an incredible pass... sauced right over Keith's stick. Couldn't really do much unless he picked it out of the air and Bolland was too late in lifting Daniel's stick.

 

[Ashor-redtribe]

I thought Morrison had a good game aside from the first few passes. I will not hold that against him, he has to figure out this system. I loved the puck handling behind the net that faked out the player and my self. As good as Sheinder looked, he was lucky on that play from Morrison. Oh well you win some you lose some, I will take a loss like this as painfull as it was if they show the effort that showed last night. I am also really done with Q I have said from other games, If we had a coach like Balzma or Babock, we would prob. only have 7-8 losses right about now. I see a coaching move if we don't go far in the playoffs. I think its time anyway. This team is to talented to stay the way they are, and I feel with Q they are not going to get any better.



On a good note we got a point and I would like to see us go if we can go 6-2-1 on this trip and I think we can, it would be amazing.

 

[the canadian dream]

Its going to be very interesting to see what the return the fucks will get with schnieder if they do deal him. We can say bad shit about that org but they have handled schnieder very well. He's a good young goalie and what ever team habs him will be very happy down the road. But i don't think the return is going to be as high as many nuck fans think. Its not going to be a Perry type player that was rumored.



We will see though. Again if i were Edmonton i would over pay for him if the canucks had the balls to deal with a division rival. Tampa new jersey and even the caps should inquire.

I've got an itchy bum

I disagree.

It looked like that pass threaded a needle to score the OT winner.



The same could be said on goal #2. The D was pinching in, and the pass in the corner found nothing but Blue sweaters. I blame that on worse fore checking.

 

[puckjim]

Scuttlebutt inside the ivory towers of Blackhawk land has upper management losing patience with Q and his antics.

There's more but not suited for a posting board.

This is the sexiest thing you've ever posted.

We had 4 players within a stick length from Daniel Sedin. 4 guys left him untouched in the slot. Technically, that was Kane's assignment on man to man coverage.



Keith is playing Henrik.

Seabs is watching for Salo.

Bolland had the other D and was coming down lower.

Kane was playing Daniel but tailed off towards the end for some unknown reason. I don't know if he assumed Bolland was dropping down and taking Daniel and Kane was going to play the high D, but either way, A forward should never be that open in the slot and Kane was with him all the way.

 

[the canadian dream]

I'm sorry is that the same Management team that gave Q a contract extension at the end of last season or a different management team? They pissed off at a team with a winning record and being 4 points out of 1st in the conference? Must be mad at the Hawks being the highest scoring team in the West?



I'm sorry when was Q being the inconsistent sophomore goalie at any point of this season?

When was Q playing center because management didn't do a good enough job to fill that hole and still haven't?

When was Q playing 30 minutes a game on the blueline because there isn't enough depth to take some of those minutes? Lepisto and O'Donell have been lifre savours haven't they? That's Q's fault that one.

Must be mad at Q for creating a LW hole also and getting the best out of Stalberg while most gave up on him early in the season.

Must be mad at Q for trying to fill the center hole by playing Kane there while Bowman sat on his fingers through the offseason and beyond doing little to help that situation. But he did bring in another RWer which the team really didn't have a major need for. Oh and that RWer is still slow and has bottomed out to the 4th line.

Management must be mad at Q for resigning Frolik and now watching the amazing output there.

Is that Q being too stuborn to send Kruger to the farm for proper conditioning and north american ice experience? Or Q having false hope that a guy who has was never drafted in the NHL nor has played a full NHL season would be the saving grace for center depth? And who is now being played on the Wing because the team had to make room for an over the hill center that was just aquired?



pfffff pretty exhausting listening to the coach get all the finger pointing when Bowman hasn't exactly done the greatest job himself and hasn't made things easier on Q. Bowmans messing around with this team a whole lot himself and his antics are getting just as tiresome.

You know what you do with the Sedins which a guy like Bolland has figured out? You step up to them and you don't give them time and space to make that fucking pass to each other. No one ever fucking steps up to the Sedins to make it hard on them and to make that pass forced. It wouldn't have found it's target if someone grabbed a set of balls and just fucking stepped up. Gave the Sedins far to much fucking time on that play for the play to develop.



But yah that was shitty coverage by Kane also

Our defense is terrible this year. IMO its our main concern going into the playoffs. O'Donnell and Scott cannot play a regular shift in the playoffs and I don't think Olsen is quite ready for that type of jump either. Hawks also need to play better defensively as a team and that falls into someone taking away time and space with the Sedins and whomever else scores.



Daniel should not have been given that much space. Kane or Bolland needed to be on him like a cheap suit. They didn't and we lost out on an extra point.

LMAO!!



ALL GAME!!
