GDT: Hawks @ Blues: 7PM Central on NBC SPORTS--EDZO IS BACK!!!

[ChiHawks10]

Poor

That's probably being nice. Outside of about 2-3 minutes total, they've pretty much been horse-shit.

 

[The Worst One]

Poor

Thank you. We'll improve.

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

We have 7 HITZ tho

 

[FeatherHead]

I wish we would just start declining PPs

I do too. "Holding, defence. That penalty is declined. Faceoff in the St. Louis zone."

 

[FeatherHead]

We have 7 HITZ tho

Yeah...which means St. Louis had the puck entirely too much.

 

[deytookerjaabs]

To be fair, the "vets" have been like this for years but this is two years in a row of a shortened season.....

 

[migi]

Well Blues were on a mission and for me Blackhawks played decent 5on5, 8min of that period was shorthanded (our PP is like playing shorthanded). Hawks had couple good chances, Sharp with unlucky puck management and Hartman passes when should shooted.

But now we have three scoring lines again and we can see it. Its pretty even 5on5, slight edge for Hawks for me.

 

[Geoist]

Yeah...which means St. Louis had the puck entirely too much.

Well, getting three penalties in one period will do that, unfortunately.

 

[The Worst One]

I think the Hawks PP strategy is not to allow a shorty.

 

[Panzerspitze]

Still nobody calling out Quenneville, I see...

 

[Matt Ravlich]

and Crawford with his anchor down.

Yup, he just SITS there and watches player score on him! NO MOVEMENT.

 

[Matt Ravlich]

Still nobody calling out Quenneville, I see...

Call him out for what?

 

[Geoist]

Still nobody calling out Quenneville, I see...

Zac appears to be MIA.

 

[FeatherHead]

Well, getting three penalties in one period will do that, unfortunately.

Yeah...it surely will. But I'd guess during the game of keep away that is being shorthanded...most of those hits didn't come on the kill.

 

[hawksfan50]

Don't worry...I am sure we can win thus game when we put bin our usual 15 minutes of goid play ...Probably again in the last 15 of period 3..myou line flip the switch etc...Otherwise again CC will need to stem the tide and Kero it at 1 goal thru 45ons. .But have faith we are so bad at competing competently that opponents ease of the gas /become sloot themselves ...thinking the first 45 was so easy tgey got it in the bag.

Some pundit said we made changes cause it is alk about the playoffs not how many points we get I regular season. .But my eyeball says we are built for 15 not 45 let calories e 60. A game.Fkio the switch ...back I Bogue. ..again.As long as CC hold tge fort .

The 2 best chances that Chicago had, they passed from spots where they should have shot.

And forcing passes (or trying to, as was the case) on the PP is never going to work.

 

[FeatherHead]

It's amazing to watch an offense like this go from hero to zero. I mean...our power play sucks colossal donkey dong...so that doesn't help.

Guys.... guys. Are you saying a 2nd year rookie with a hot 2-game sample was NOT the cure-all for the issues with this team?

Mind. Blown.

Mind. Blown.

The 2nd line looks a lot better with him.
Problem is, he can't control the stupid f***ing PP entry. He needs to just take it himself.

 

[ChiHawks10]

Mind. Blown.

Come on. The lines have definitely looked much more balanced with him on the ice. That's not arguable.

 

[JaegerDice]

Also this:



The Blues have 9 shots. 2/3rds of their shots came with Seabrook on the ice.

Enough. Just ENOUGH of Seabrook anywhere near the top 4. What, was he getting a sandwich when he blew his coverage on Schwartz?

 

[BobbyJet]

Don't particularly like the idea of 8 on the PK, even if he is good at it. His early injuries worry me that he may be injury-prone. The PK is a recipe for injury for a guy who needs to stay healthy. Besides his offense is needed. Save his energy for that. There are many potential PK guys on the squad who frankly don't have his value.

 

[ChiHawks10]

Murphy with a nice play there.

 

[LordKOTL]

Good play Murph!

 

[ChiHawks10]

Another good play getting involved in the O zone for Murph.
