They are playing well.. very well. They have run into a hot goalie. A few missed opportunities but they are playing okay. I blame it on the jerseys.

Well, hopefully they can at least tie it up because the Stars and Flames are winning right now.

Welp, a loss. I can't really rip on their effort nor their skill. They played well enough to win, just ran into a hot goaltender. It just sucks to have one of those games at this time of the year!
It's okay though... I'm hoping for Vancouver.

Yeah, I guess it's not the end of the world, but it certainly doesn't make their job any easier. I guess we'll have to wait and see how things go in Montreal.

Shutout by a guy with a save % of 88 & GAA of 3.10

Yeah, I'm not buying the hot goalie cop out.
Hawks played solid D and controlled the puck, but there's no excuse for getting shut out tonight. Powerplay was weak and the offense just didn't have it.
It wasn't the goalie, it was the Hawks. They blew it.

True, I see where you are coming from, I wish some of the shot selection and shot location was different but hindsight is 20/20. They were obviously pressing with their chances. But Smith made 31 saves. Atleast 4 of them were clutch saves with the legs.
At the beginning of the season, most would agree that you are going to run into 5-7 of these types of games during an 82 game schedule. Overreact if you want, but this was just one of those type of games. It just sucks that it happened this late in the season.

I see what your saying but stats don't always paint an accurate picture of a player. How does the saying go, 'When you're hot, you're hot'? Unfortunately it looks as though the Hawks caught him on a hot-streak. If I remember correctly, didn't he do the same thing to us when we played the Bolts a couple of weeks back?

It sucks even more because it happened in Boston last week and then against Dallas 2 weeks before that.
I agree- these games do happen.
But they can not happen 3 times in the last month of the season when you're fighting to make the playoffs. 2 of those games were against eastern teams!
I don't like breaking bad on the Hawks... I never see any benefit to it. But 3 shutouts in a month is inexcusable.

Keep in mind that I wasn't able to actually watch the game. I'm just going off of what little info I could gather from the radio broadcast.

We NEED Sharpy to return from his injury ASAP. The Hawks have been blanked twice in less than two weeks. The whole team is effected if the first line cant produce, and the first line has been stagnant without Sharp.

Best part of the game was getting my puck signed by Jack O'Callahan.

Tough loss. I still think we get into the playoffs, but we need to get a healthy team. These past few games against playoff contenders has really been a disappointment.

Very tough loss, now that I process it the next day. We deserved that win, just couldn't put the fking puck in the net!
Oh well, move on to the next game.
