If Kaner keeps stepping up like he did against Detroit, we can whether the storm with out JT. Hope he is alright and hope he is back sooner than later but Kaner might be able to carry them on his back if he keeps playing like that.

Grimson I would be nervous that CLWolfe81 has twice mentioned poking you in the Garbutt. Better wear your pie plate.

He pretty much HAS to play like that with JT out. Somebody has to step up, and Hossa has zero fucking help on his line.

Love the idea of Ott coming to Vancouver. Raymond and a 2nd would be nice if the Stars would take it. Ott, Burrows, Kesler, Lapierre.... most hated team ever...lol GCG!

Yeah I'm not shocked either. Serious WTF is it with that city and assholes.

Hammer is supposed to p,ay tonight

 

[the canadian dream]

Does Steve ott own us or what?

 

[the canadian dream]

Team is back to collapsing after allowing a goal against. Crawford gets all shaky and weird and the defense all gets scattered and shit. Mecha breakdown.

 

[the canadian dream]

Blew this game right out of their asses. Games like this are ones that lead to 10 game losing streaks

 

[roshinaya]

Completely owned in the 3rd period. Bad defensive coverage and not keeping the crease clear. Bachman played well for Dallas as well. Also the Hawks never really got any sustained pressure in Dallas end, just a few good looks and then lost possession.

 

[Chief Walking Stick]

Wow.... as much of a joke as it was the past few days.... Garbutt really played like a beast tonight.

Did Sharp play tonite?

 

[Ton]

I mean he only hit the post and was all over the ice.

I don't remember seeing Crawford get shaky at all. I remember him letting in three deflected goals that he had no chance on. And I remember him getting upset about the third one. i would have too. Fucking team thought they could defend a 1-0 lead for an entire period, and got outshot 16-5

 

[Pez68]

Went back to not covering the points at all and letting the opposition camp out in front.

hit the post once then wiffed a couple. Other than that not really. Maybe he needs to play rw or join the 67 left hand shots this team has on the blueline.



We need toews back. This center depth is a laughing stock and we need someone to calm these hot heads down after a goal against. Q obviously can't do it and won't use the time out when it should be used. Crawford also needs to shake those first goals against off better. He stopped playing aggressive after that ott goal and resorted to falling back into his net and breaking out. His defense def didn't help. Too bad because up to that point the hawks and Crawford played a near perfect defensive game. Played clean too. Didn't give up a penalty.



Just too Fucking bad they collapsed. Worries me really.

 

[Pez68]

I wonder how many goals against the Hawks have been scored by, or assisted by, the opposing defensemen. I'd bet it's half. They are just fucking abysmal at covering the points and clearing guys out from in front of their goalie.

 

[the canadian dream]

They did it well for 2 periods. Could have used a little more finish upfront also. This team will never be a win by scoring one goal team. We all know this.

 

[Pez68]

They don't have a single shutout in 71 games. While I really don't give a **** about the shutout stat, that is pretty telling in regards to the ability of this team to play SIXTY FUCKING MINUTES of solid hockey. Lapses, constantly. Every game. Sometimes they don't hurt them. Sometimes, like tonight, they give up 3 goals in less than 10 minutes.
