Realize the Jets pkay thwir9th game tomorrow night ...they have 8 points ofout of 8 games played...but if they beat the Islanders tomorrow night they would be up 7 points on us but we would have a 5 game make up window ...the problem is...do you think the Hawks can make up 7 points out of 5 gams I hand...of course tge Avs sit atop rgecentire WC with 19 points (also 7 more than us) with the Hawks having ONLY 1 game I had..if we win thatxextra gamevit means Still s,whipping 5 behind the Avs .
So there Already is a airt of big Hill to climb to become a top club I the division or the WesternConference..
Hawks cannot Ffordctovsquander the extra games in hand over division rivals...
It wiukdchelo tgeccause ifctge pp were better than showing so fR and if Laggards Toews Bs D-Cat a truly oroducedxas oer expectation..
Toews just 1 point (assust( in 4 GP...a big fat Zero in +/-,and under-water in the possession stats...meh in Tk-GV= 0 differential ...1 each in4GP.. Pretty dismal for our1C and also under 50% on draws..total bustcin his game so far...1 very goidboeriod out of 12...notvcutting it.
D-Cat ...better at +3 but justx1g 1a in 4GP.. just gave him big raise on bridge deal and so far he has disappointed.
D-CTxNd Toews not seeming to have any chemistry on same line...could Bd Hige problem ifvitvpersists..
Gonna be hard for Hawks to win if they do not contribute a lot more.

Realize the Jets play their game tomorrow night ...they have 8 points in 8 games played...but if they beat the Islanders tomorrow night they would be up 7 points on us but we would have 5 games in hand to make up the window. The problem is, do you think the Hawks can make up 7 points out of 5 games in hand? Of course the Avs sit atop the central and conference with 19 points (also 7 more than us) with the Hawks having ONLY 1 game in hand. If we win that extra game it means we are still a whopping 5 behind the Avs .
So already there is a big hill to climb to become a top club in the division or the Western Conference.
Hawks cannot afford to squander the extra games in hand over division rivals.
Something in regards to Cat and Toews on the PP and expectations maybe.
Toews 4 GP 0-1-1 and under-water in the possession stats...meh in Tk-GV= 0 differential ...1 each in 4GP. Pretty dismal for our 1C and also under 50% on draws. Total bust in his game so far.1 very good period out of 12. That's not cutting it.
D-Cat 4 GP 1-1-2 +3 just gave him a big raise on a bridge deal and so far he has been disappointing
D-Cat and Toews not seeming to have any chemistry on the same line. This could be a huge problem if this persists
It’s going be hard for Hawks to win if they do not contribute a lot more.
