****. ****. ****.

 

[Missing Chiclets]

Seabrook has to be sent to the press box for the good of the team!! He's so well beyond bad at this point.

 

[Raskolnikov]

2 goals back and we will be lucky to create 2 shots the rest of this game. Unbelievable ineptitude. Team is toast. Send Dach back just because this team has no chance. Time to press box Seabs with a margarita and sacrifice Toews in a trade to a Canadien team for the good of the league. Crow should go to Montreal to back up the Canadiens.

Might as well play Keith 60 minutes a game until he dies on the ice for all to see. Makes sense.

I'm gonna watch scary movies for 38 hours until the next game.

Thanks Kane.

Toews and Crawford have NMCs. Not gonna happen

I would hope JC has the pills for Gauntlet drills tomorrow.

Except for saad, it was sad.

Lehner, hung out to dry by the team's D.

Really feels like this team is going to struggle to score all year..

 

[Raskolnikov]

Cat-Strome-Kane (whatever the **** you are doing little C...just stop it)
Saad-Toews-Shaw/Jewels/Dach
Dach/Nylander/Shaw-Kampf/Dach-Kubalik
Jewels/Dach-Carp/Dach-Smith

I guess my only thoughts are stop everything you are doing and put Cat-strome-Kane together.

Toews gets Saad, and a gritty rotation. Kampf can keep Kubalik, and move Dach all over the place to rest people.

Strome has disappeared as a wing. Not gonna work.

getting pucks on goal would help. Their shooting inaccuracy is astounding!

 

[anotheridiot]

That was truly hard to watch. Flyers just all over every puck, every passing lane, seemed to know exactly what was happening before it happened.

Other than a few slick Dach stick handling moves to get thru pressure, negated by getting stuffed at the blue line the next time he had it, just 3 hours of my life I wont get back.

I agree, Kane, Strome, Cat, Saad, Kampf, Kubalik are what works.

He keeps trying to get Toews going, when Toews should be the one getting anyone put on his line going.

If Dach is the future, they better move Strome while he might still be worth something. It almost feels like Cat got his extension because they knew Strome was about to get fucked.

 

[Granada]

This feels familiar....

3 out of 4 Philly goals caused by an odd-man rush and two breakaways.

PP 0-4.

Wish Kevin Hayes didn't want to leave when he did.

 

[Tater]

Watching that game felt like...

Lehner, hung out to dry by the team's D.

Yeah, Lehner was really not at fault for any goal in my view. He blamed himself on the Hayes breakaway of course, but I don't fault him there. Seabs, Keith, and Guss had garbage games and that turnover by Guss is all too familiar especially.

I've liked Kubalik so far, but the problem with players like him, Nylander, and Caggiula is that -- they have absolutely no fucking finish. At all. Kane set up Caggiula earlier in the game with a sweet pass, and he flubs it. Same with Nylander on the PP. Even Saad - who's been the best Hawks forward - is on a clear-cut breakaway and what does he do? He air-mails it. And didn't Kampf have a semi-break too? He made the goalie make a save, but still, no finish. This is always the problem with young teams.

We have might have to accept Toews-Shaw are a 15,000,000 third line. Right? Isn't that where we are?

Kubalik/Strome/Cat/Dach/Jewels are the only scorers who get inexperience as a benefit of the doubt.

I have to conclude that Bowman and Colloton do not fit each other very well. Whatever fucking system they are supposed to run they are not physical enough to do so. I miss Q bad.

Only won two of seven at home, 6 out of a possible 14 points on the home stand. Yikes! If the Hawks don't turn it around and miss the playoffs by a few points (hope not), we'll look back at 0-2 vs the Flyers and our inability to beat Vegas (god that game hurt) in regulation, OT or the shootout, as lost opportunities. ...lost a couple of two goal leads, too, if I remember correctly, came back from two goals down against the Caps in the third, just to give up the game winning goal 90 seconds later. Can't finish games, can't finish shots, numerous giveaways in our own zone, where's our PP, consistently giving up shorthanded opportunities to our opponents, ...not to mention our PK sucks! Go Hawks! ya better hope so Stan, John and Jeremy. ...the players needed to be called out, but it better work, cuz ya can only do it a few times, otherwise, if it DONT work, it's gonna be a long season with a lot of ocular glaze-over and deaf ears.
