Better to drive him to Union and purchase a long haul ticket on a train unlikely to hit any major hockey city. Q seems like a 'great plains' kinda guy.I would drive Q to the airport myself.
Ok, no, I'd tie him to the roof of my car and drive to the airport. Close enough.
..or better yet drive him to a nursing home with all these senile roster decisionsBetter to drive him to Union and purchase a long haul ticket on a train unlikely to hit any major hockey city. Q seems like a 'great plains' kinda guy.
Read that this morning D-Cat and Hayden both stayed on the ice an extra 30 mons.after practice over in order to practice just SHOOTING!
You mean the great Q does NOT emphasize shoiting at practices? THAT he assumes pros know how to beat go lies with their NHL level shots?If so this would explain the Hawks ...and especialky the vet "stars" not exactly making goalies tremor in fear as their putrid goal scoring and shooting % attests ...Anisimov is an exception though only IF he touches a puck 1 foot or closer to the net .
To suggest the entire Hawks TEAM ought to be stayingbforvextra shooting practice is a NO-BRAINER..or that Q should start giving a lot more scheduled practice time to how t9 beat goalies with shots from medium and longer distances ..but alas he is Country Club Q and would NEVER embarassed his struggling vet stars by imposing such draconian measures ..So instead then practices are battle drills..break-outs and a entries. ..cycling methodology. .but hardly any attention given to shoiting to beat a goalie so that stars can...you know
..score goals lije they are PAID TO.

Yes, they were literally standing at opposite goal lines and firing slapshots at the other end trying to hit the net and the other was trying to tip it. Hardly hardcore shooting sessions.
And that gets reported? Must have been a slow news day.
Yeah, it wasn't shooting practice...LOL.
Looks like they were just horsing around, seeing who could hit the net from the other end of the ice with a wrist or slap shot. Of course 50 makes it a big deal.
True enough but the point remains: Blackhawks shooters have been horrific for a while and with Panarin gone it stands out more this season.
Yeah, Hawks have never really had snipers on their team. Sharp was pretty good back in the day, and Panarin the last 2 years. But this is a skill that isn't really coachable. You either have a great shot and placement, or you don't. You can work on it and make it slightly better, but you aren't suddenly going to be a sniper with better coaching. That's just silly.True enough but the point remains: Blackhawks shooters have been horrific for a while and with Panarin gone it stands out more this season.
Probably because they have players that will actually shoot the puck instead of dipsy doodling around making low % cross ice passes.Rockford's power play is worlds better than the Hawks, by the way. Had a chance to watch them Saturday. It was refreshing to see.
Is that why the Hawks PP is something like 6 out of the last 17? Seems to me the Hawks are finally doing what they should on the PP.It helps that guys are setup properly and there are multiple one timers and shooting options available. They also don't stand around with their thumbs up their asses watching. They are always moving. So basically, they are coached by someone who knows what he's doing....
