GDT: 12/6/17 @ Washington - 7:00 PM, NBCSN

[BK]

And there is the game...

 

[Chuck Testa]

See? They get quality chances on their pp unlike the hawks pp. it's a f***ing joke

 

[Fortyfives]

Team just gave up on Q right on the ice.

 

[BrianE]

Orlov...what pansy....2 year old.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

'Dominant' period for the Hawks which means 2 bad power plays, a bunch of routine shots into Holtbys pads with no net front presence

And then a weak penalty calll with a terrible kill with a backup goalie giving up a terrible rebound ending up in the back of night.

 

[Chuck Testa]

5-1 incoming

 

[BrianE]

Hey teacher look at my teeth, i have an owie.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

The moment AA couldn’t clear there was no doubt they’d score.

Ugh. Another penalty.

AA didn't clear it, but he's not the one that got a secondary assist giving the puck over to the Caps.

And hey, interference on the Caps.

 

[Easy E]

Is it possible that Q gets fired before Christmas?

 

[Backyard Hockey]

I approve of the decision to put Hartman on the first line...of the Rockford Ice Hogs.

Cat will get sent down first lets be honest

 

[Backyard Hockey]

They put out shot the caps and controlled possession. Washington had nothing before that goal.

And they did it again for most of the second. None of the resulted in a puck in the back of the net.

This team needs a a major change to shake it up. That should include a trade, a healthy scratch of the Captian and the firing of the coach.

 

[Rooh]

He should have been fired when he threw a hissy fit that Hammer got traded in front of the whole league.

 

[ColbyChaos]

There were not a lot of quality shots a majority of them Holtby was able to see from a mile away

 

[Backyard Hockey]

How's the Saad effect on Kane working out?

Same way it worked out with Toews.

Saad has been a major disappointment

I don’t disagree.

 

[Styles]

This site is nearly impossible on mobile. Anyway, it’s time for a new voice. The only way that happens is to drop some games. I’m done with Captain Hook to be honest.

 

[Matt Ravlich]

That would be a nice xmas present for moi! We need a BLOCKBUSTER trade too! Toews, Kane, Keith, Seabrook, to Vegazz for a dufflebag full of shiny new pucks, (and four 1st round draft choices!) The "Toews/Kane era" is OVAH in Chicago!

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Kane is still incredibly talented. He's just lazy

Toews 'expired on' date came and went 2.5 seasons ago. Ironically enough when he fancy new contract kicked in

It would be a nice early XMAS gift If some team were dumb enough to take Toews and his contract.

But hey more Chevy commercials with him trying to get me excited about the 314th beat player in the NHL.

 

[ColbyChaos]

Q seems perfectly fine with making the horrible PP the hill he wants to die on

 

[CallMeShaft]

These games happen. The problem isn't that we're losing tonight. The problem is us shiting away so many close games this season, making tonight's tilt more important than it has any right to be. Very frustrating.

 

[jls24]

Maybe go to T-K with a 2nd line of Schmaltz-Anisimov-cat?

Idk, anything other than this garbage.

Let Kemp play for f***s sake.

Even good roster management can't save this terrible, play it safe, hang back and to the outside system though.

Whatever, they won't have the guts to fire Q regardless.

 

[MTP]

Half-way serious question: Would it be a violation of the CBA to put Hossa behind the bench, or even to have him on the ice during practice? This team is so poor in the defensive and neutral zones, and their positioning is a big part of that. It seems rare that anyone is in a position to even make a play. I wonder how much of that was because of Hossa's tendency to mentor younger players.

In a league where Pronger was a part of the DOPS while still under contract anything is possible
