Hoping for a big game from Backstrom and Oshie 2mow night. I'm leading in almost all categories... need some assists.

I've learned to not get worried about any regular season losses with this team, no matter how bad it looks.

Just beat the shit out of the Caps tomorrow. And if not, I'll be jumping out of my seat on the 300 level and giving an RKO to Mike Kitchen.

Make sure you pour yourself a cold one while you watch.

Slow starts for toews and hossa has me a tad worried... but it's still early.

I'll be there tomorrow as well. 305.

Thought that Tikhonov had his best game of the year. Showed a little spark out there and some playmaking ability. Got an audition on the first line at the end of the night because of it. Hoping that someone sticks next to Toews/Hossa soon, because that line needs to get going.

Defense was overall sloppy. Svedberg is so slow out there. Sure he has great reach but he is so slow that he usually doesn't even get a chance to use that reach. That reach is usually only being used as a last ditch effort because he is so out of position due to his speed. Would like to see him in the AHL for a bit more...but that means Rundblad which isn't good for anybody. Blackhawks need to figure out that #6 position, because it really does matter and it helps throughout the backend if that position is reliable.

I may have a better formed opinion 10 games in, but I thought 81/19 were fine tonight. They were getting stuffed by Neuvirth. The breakaway SH, Toews denied in front of the net, and 72 stoning himself early in the game.

Those two are fine and will always get chances on their own, but they still need someone on their wing that can facilitate and play a role to help those two get going. Not looking for someone as skilled as those two are but looking for someone that can play well without the puck and compliment them. So far we have seen TT, Shaw, Garbutt, and Tikhonov on their wing...and we are only 4 games in.

EDIT: I fully realize we are only 4 games in...but that's what we are going to talk about now because that is all we have to go off of. Not freaking out in anyway since it is very early, but still a point that I think should be looked at early on.

Agree.
Tell that to Q.
