Has Corey Crawford ever made a save in the shootout or no?</p>

 </p>


 </p>


and over his career he was top 5. </p>

Can pretty much write up a loss whenever this team gets into OT/SO. So glad these gimmicks don't exist in the playoffs.</p>

not 4 on 4</p>


 </p>


and the problem from the looks of it is they still try to push the cycle game, which just doesn't seem effective with 4 on 4 and leads to a bunch of turn overs. </p>

 

[Chief Walking Stick]

im just bout that action boss</p>

 

[jaxhawksfan]

Yeah, Versteeg still turning over the puck at a rapid pace and wtf was up with HJalmarsson tonight?  Fucking looked completely lost and turned the puck over way too many times instead of a crisp pass or skating the fucking thing out of our zone.</p>

I lost count of all the bad passes tonight, and I think it's time to move Saad up to the second line, and Versteeg down to the third.</p>

 

[Pez68]

Versteeg is a far cry from the player he was in 2010, and that's not saying much, since he was a turnover machine then too.</p>

 

[Ton]

I think I was the only one that complained about the Versteeg trade.</p>


 </p>


He just doesn't have a place on this team. Only 3 more years, is it? I think Morin was more than capable of playing in Versteegs place and not produce. But to be fair, he does have 3 points in his last three games... more than Kane and Pirri can say combined.</p>


 </p>


Pirri has got to start producing, otherwise it's back to riding the buses in Rockford.</p>

 

[Forklift]

The Versteeg trade has paid some benefits - the penalty kill has stopped being the goat rodeo it was earlier in the season.</p>


 </p>


The best part of the trade was Dale eating half the salary. Kris Versteeg at $2MM/per is very easily moveable either at the deadline or on draft day.</p>


 </p>


But for now, flipping him & Saad would help a lot. Saad is stronger with the puck, and a more disciplined player. He'd balance Kane's style, and I think we'd see that line get going.</p>

 

[R K]

I'm pretty sure versteeg has not killed penalties.  He has ZERO SH time last night.</p>


 </p>


I don't think it has anything to do with him.</p>


 </p>


The only benefit of that trade is Dale ate half the salary.</p>

 

[Tater]

I haven't seen him kill penalties this year either, I think the penalty kill improvement has been mostly Crawford. The Sharks were so much more aggressive killing penalties last night and the Hawks seemed to play back. Sharks had quite a few really good chances but Craw stepped up.</p>


Saad really needs to be moved up to the second line.</p>

 

[R K]

Hawks don't take a lot of penalties.  Giving up 4 of 5 in game 1 started that percentage in the toilette.  They could kill 90% of the penalties the rest of the season and that percentage will still be bad.</p>


 </p>


They've been near perfect for 7 games and it's gone up .8%.</p>

[JOVE23]

PK SUCKS TRADE KOMPON FOR TURRIS</p>

 

[Chief Walking Stick]

The answer is....</p>


 </p>


Pull Chris Kontos out of retirement.</p>

 

[The Count Dante]

What a game. Goalie show. So fun to watch.</p>

What a dickhole, I'll blame you for the loss</p>

 

[LordKOTL]

I think right now the only benefit Pirri has is keeping Zeus off the #2 line.  I will reserve judgement until Kane/Pirri/Saad joins up.</p>


 </p>


On the positive note, good game for Dr. Craw & Keith.</p>


 </p>


None too worried until after the olympics--this one was entertaining.  They sold me the entire seat but I only needed the edge.</p>

 

[MassHavoc]

I wonder how many more times I'm going to have to say how sick of OT I am.</p>
