Embrace the tank. If they lose to Buffalo, there may be no coming back.

 

[TLEH]

If they lose this game, I will be alarmed.

 

[jls24]

It'll be hard to lose this game even with the line blender set to full Pejorative Slur. Hopefully the Sabres don't take too many penalties as that's the one strategy that might keep them in it.

 

[Enyaw]

C'mon .... try not to suck

So if Vinny actually plays tonight who ends up sitting? Bouma has scored a few goals lately. Be interesting to see who sits.

Likely panik or Hartman

Hartman should sit he's been useless

Hino may not play, as he can't practice with the team until Kero goes through waivers.

I'm done with Q, now he thinks it's a good idea to bring back Hino? He had many opportunities to make this change, now we have a horrible streak and we are facing a stressful scenario, I can't remember another delicate moment in the past 6 or 7 years like we are seeing. He had to wait for the worst moment in recent years to put a young weapon, not that Hino will change everything (he's not Gretzky) but i'm done with his lack of coherence and how he is becoming more and more stubborn. The only reason we are not seeing Tootoo and Roszival regularly in the lineup is because they were out of conditions due to injuries. No more Q!

 

[Blackhawks]

Yeeeey finally a game they can win and maybe Toews gets 3 points so the “crickets” comments re-arise in the Toews Woes thread...

 

[deytookerjaabs]

For most of the year I've been on the fence in terms of win the game versus fire Q, with the logic (or lack thereof) being that it we do poorly enough Q would be gone. That's with ZERO ill will towards Q. If Crow went down in game 1 I'm guessing Q would be gone by now.

I'm almost starting to get the "Please Just Lose" feeling again, ouch.

That said, I still want to win, uhg. Hey, it's Buffalo, maybe we'll get a couple goals off the cycle or even a power play goal, it won't fix the core issues one bit though.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

First game of a pretty easy three-game home stand. Now, I don't think it's fair to expect really any team to definitely sweep any three game stretch in the NHL, especially a team missing its starter, but at this point in time honestly anything less than five out of six points on this homestand would be disappointing.

Perfect time to right the ship, so just get two points tonight.

 

[SAADfather]

Sounds like Crawford is starting tonight. Really hope Q isn't rushing him back after Forsberg's last outing.

 

[ChiHawks10]

Hino also recalled as most of us suspected, and Kero cleared waivers and down to Rockford.

Just beat this shitty Buffalo team, Hawks. A solid game, and something to build on moving forward.

We need a nice string of 6-7 wins in a row here to get back into the thick of things.

 

[b1e9a8r5s]

If the Hawks are still who I think/hope they are than this next stretch of games is when they need to get going.

 

[Pez68]

Crawford back already reeks of desperation... We shall see.

Unless it wasn't a serious injury and he was put on IR for some other reason. Saving cap $$$ or something, IDK.

 

[BK]

Hmmm did they not send Burube down?

 

[SAADfather]

I mean Corey did skate like 4 days after he got hurt... in a game that he finished. There's a good chance it was just a minor tweak and they put him on IR to play it safe. It sounded like Q was planning on starting Corey Sunday regardless but this team skidding combined with Forsberg's last outing probably forced his hand a bit.

Just hope Corey's ready.

Only if your default setting is everything they do is wrong.

There's no evidence to suggest that at all.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Crow was listed as week to week. He came back after a little over a week. Hardly desperation just based off that limited information.

Just hope Crow's fully okay and not too rusty with his time off and after recuperating from the injury.
