McDouche has a way of overblowing everything he touches.
Did we need to announce the entire staff.
Did I hear booing for Blunk and McDick from the radio feed?

It may have been a little bit on the long side, but nonetheless, I enjoyed watching it.

That's what it sounded like to me.

I know we are only two games deep n I really want turco to do well but some of these goals are hueesque. I hope we don't have a better puck handling version of the man from France.

At this point in the game Jack Skille has the lowest ice time on the whole team...yet he has been good and noticeable every shift...so why isn't he getting ice time?

Yea really. That second goal was garbage and the third was worse. As I said I know it's only two games but goals line that third one are back breakers.

Well guys you heard it here first... season over, the Blackhawks won't win a game this season with this awful HUETLIKE goaltending.
**** Turco that SIEVE! He totally should have used telekinesis to keep Scott from falling on his ass for one of those goals.
0-81-1 here we come!
lol..........................................

Get used to it. Those are the type of goals he gave up last year and no reason to believe he won't give them up this year.
Just like I've been saying here since they signed him.

I didn't expect the team to have a fast start, so I'm not too worried.
At the same time, some players do need to step it up.
For the most part, our core has been fine. Hossa, Toews, Kane, Sharp, Kopecky, Brouwer, Seabrook, and Keith have all been solid.
Unfortunately, this team expects a bit more than "solid" from Kane, Toews, and Keith... all three can afford to play better although I don't think they've played badly exactly.
While most of the core has been fine, there are also some bad spots that must play better. Bolland and Hjalmarrsson, I'm definitely looking over at those two. Bolland has been brutal offensively, entirely predictable, and outsmarted in the faceoff circle. Please never play him on the PP point again. Hammer has had too many brain farts, although his excuse is more apparent, he doesn't have his fiery little partner to bail the puck to anymore... he isn't ready to lead and anchor his own line with Leddy.
Aside from our regulars, it's hard to see the brightness beyond that. Its quite obvious that it is going to take much longer for our newcomers to gel and become regular contributors to the team. From best to worst:
Skille and Bickell have been our best newcomers (ok, so maybe they aren't THAT new, but you get it)... both have made an impact on the ice and have not looked out of place.
Although I feel Leddy has been a positive contribution to the team and has done a good job limiting his mistakes at the NHL level, I'm not quite sure this step is the right one to further his development -- rather just a band-aid until Campbell comes back. Pirri looked decent today, but clearly just a stop-gap for Sharps injury.
Pisani, Stalberg, Dowell have all been OK. Pisani doesn't really show much offensively, and has been fairly invisible in that regard but he hasn't made many mistakes either which is fine while hes trying to fit in. Same with Stalberg, who actually might be fairing a bit better with his impressive speed in making a standout of himself. Dowell, as hard as he works it seems like he can't hit the net if it were the size of a soccer net... I guess you can't really complain when you are talking about a 4th line player.
Unfortunately, that isn't as bad as it gets, there is one name has has already run itself into the ground for me... and that's John Scott. Absolutely brutal so far, and what baffles me the most is that Scott has made a handful of mistakes yet still gets an opportunity while Lalonde has one gaff in the pre-season and is immediately sent to the minors.
Lastly, Turco... what can you say? Simply put, he needs to play better. I can't say I'm happy with him yet but I also can't say I'm disappointed. What I can say is that I do expect him to be better, and I think he will be.
I'm not too worried overall. We'll see what happens at the 10-game mark and I'd say at the 20-game mark we'll have a pretty good idea of where the team is headed. I think most of these guys will improve. The only guy I really have no confidence in right now is John Scott, so hopefully they have a plan in place for that.

Overall I thought the team played very well tonight. Turco did let in an easy 3rd goal but I think he distracted and caught off guard when Brower had a blowout and lost his feet on a divot. D was very solid tonight and our 4th line was strong. I was very impressed with Dowell - great speed and really was dominating with the puck out there. As for Skille - he's okay but I get the feeling he's more of a 'million moves to nowhere' than anything else. He seems to get nice looks with the puck alot but nothing ever seems to come out of it. Bickell was a beast out there tonight - very impressed with him.

What are you talking about?? Skille was possibly the best Hawk forward on the ice tonight.
And please don't put a "BUT" after describing Turco's **** up, there is no BUT. It was a horribly soft goal, one of the worst you'll see all season and that's all you can and should say about it.

Not really they were tied. You kind of have to score and actually have the lead to say that was the only difference.
Scott, what a horrible play. I never knew the blue line could jump out and trip someone. Was benched after that. Was most definitely a soft goal, BUT it never should have gotten that far.
Bolland on the point? Really? Q, I love ya, but if it doesn't work the first two times, it probably won't work the 3rd.
Stahlberg.. SHOOT THE FUCKING PUCK! He had the game tied had he shot, but alas he didnt.
Sharp has a minor concussion. Something strange because he skated this morning. It'll be interesting to see if he makes the trip to Buffalo.
Considering they are minus Campbell and Sharp tonight I thought they played a decent game other than a few gaffs. They must have hit the pipe 8 times in the past two games. Yikes!
JT, please get out of your funk before the usual 12 games to start the Season.
Kaner, awesome pass tape to tape to Bickell. I really can't ***** about Bickell not finishing because the guy has looked great both games.
Who ever said that about Skille, balls on. Q, if you have a player who's clearly playing well, give him some fucking ice time.
Q, lost this game for the Hawks IMO. Goofy fucking coaching. And yes I heard boos for both McDonough and Blunk, but Rocky the guy that hired and loves them, come on.... Not making Money... One fucking hat in Hawk Quarters, 45 FUCKING DOLLARS!!!

What game were you watching. It was John Scott that had the blow out, not Brouwer and Skille was possibly the best forward on the ice.
And the 3rd goal putred on Turcos part, but the chance NEVER should have been allowed.
