Kruger lost every face-off, not his best night though, you still exaggerate how bad we are at them though.

Crawford had another solid game, team as a whole played their worst game of the year.

Trust me, I wish they were better but looking at the last couple years and where they currently are on the season, I don't like having centers 2-4 (Bolland, Shaw, Kruger) under 50% like they would project.

An example of where it could kill the team beyond the PP/PK is last night when Bolland lost back to back faceoffs in the defensive zone (after icings so Toews couldnt be tossed out there) with under a minute left in the game.

Hasn't hurt the Blackhawks yet which im thrilled about but sooner or later it could happen.

**** the 2 of you that voted for the Jackets to win this game.

Though yeah, I agree with the consensus about Columbus' goal being taken away. That was some bs. Oh well, I'll take the W.

**** wings are next. 2nd home game of the season. Lets Get it....
:umad:

For the record I'll vote against the Blackhawks until they lose.

So far I'm 0-5 :smug:

The team definitely looked like they were looking past the BJ's lasts night when the game started. It was nice to see that they bore down after giving up that first goal. While the no goal call was horrendous, every team has that happen to them at some point.

Not sure what they can do about the face-off situation, but something needs to be done. Toews cannot be the only on that can go out there and win a draw. I would like to see Kruger go to the third line, and Mayers move to center on the fourth with Shaw on his wing.

One player that has looked really good so far this season has been Hammer. Not sure that there is a defenseman on the team that is playing better at this point.

exactly.

Q at the press conference say he could go with Crawford tomorrow night. Emery needs to play at some point, but I really don't want to face the Red Wings with Emery and tired bodies tomorrow night. Also said that the no goal shouldn't have counted. Not sure I agree with that one.

nah, that was a goal and should have counted. that was a major blown call.
