My only major criticism of Q since he arrived was how he handled Huet last year. As we all remember, French Fries was softer than a roll of Charmin when the season started. This cost the Hawks several games. But Q stuck with the veteran, even though Niemi had showed he could play, especially getting that shutout in Helsinki. But Niemi was a “rookie goalie.” It was pretty obvious what that meant in Q and Scotty’s world.



At some point since then, Q realized it was a mistake to stick with Frenchie when he wasn’t playing well, especially when there was a backup deserving of a chance who had talent and played well when called upon.



Goalies are streaky. Craw just had a hot game so let him get the net for another game as a reward. Competition is good. I’m confident Turks can handle a little competition from a rookie back up, and I’m sure he’s had it before.



Now, Turks is not Huet by a long shot. But I think Turks needs time to get settled, as many veteran players do when they sign as a UFA with a new team. And this situation is especially unique with the Cup hoopla and expectations. If Craw can win a few games and take a little pressure and spotlight off Turks, all the better. Plus then we learn if we have a second goalie who is ready if called upon.



But we will not have a goalie soap opera like we had last year. One, there is no head-case like Huet involved. Two, I think Q learned a lesson (which is a reason why Craw gets the net tonite).

One could argue he didn't with Pisani...

I don't have too many complaints about Kopecky.



I'd like to see more out of Brouwer and Bolland tho.

Well that royally sucked.



Nothing like losing a game in the final minute to make you feel like breaking something.

Keith and Seabs were off again tonight.



I've been disappointed in Keith lately as his d coverage has been pathetic and he took a couple shifts off tonight.

Could sense the outcome when the Hawks couldn't pt the 3rd goal to make it 3-1. Instead we get your typical Preds game. Boring as hell and them waiting to pounce on mistakes.



Not sure why these loses are so tough to take but they are. Should have been the Hawks game. And delay of game calls will always bite you in the ass.



And 4 games in is still early but there hasn't been any improvement shown at all by some players. Pisani? Ugh seeing nothing from this guy and I am surprised. Pez had a good point in chat that he won't hold onto the puck. It's like a gernade when it hits his stick. Looks like his other linemates are a bit confused by him also? Don't know but so far there is no fit with Pisani. Still willing to give him more games though.



Bolland? Who? We have a Bolland invisibility stretch again. Too bad it's to start the season. I am sure he will come around. He is the one having to adjust to new linemates the most. Seems that when ever a line is put together with Bolland the next season its torn apart. And don't kid yourselves for one second...he misses Ladd. There is no one on the roster that can replace Ladd.



Brouwer had a better game at least I noticed him a few times. I'm chalking him up to having to adjust also.



Seabs and Keith need to tighten up as we all know. I thought the defense was pretty tight in comparison to other games though. Then again it's the Preds..not an offensive powerhouse with a lot of speed.



Anyways tough loss. Onto the next one. So far the feeling of the Hawks that was there this time last year isn't here with me (im not surprised and I expected it). Feels like the chemistry will take a while to form on the 3rd/4th lines. And frankly I think it's a reason why the blueliners are struggling a bit also. Lots of hockey left for the boys to come together though.

Well, he is playing 35 minutes a game. Everyone's entitled to a bad shift or two, but you are noticing them because the guy never leaves the ice.



I have to question Q when with less than a minute left on a penalty kill he has Hendry and Leddy out there to kill a penalty in a 2-2 game. I know Boynton is in the box and Hendry isn't much better, but you have to have 7 and 2 on the ice in that situation. I guess that's what happens when you run them into the ground the entire game.
