Pre-Game Talk: Let 2018 begin: Blackhawks vs Rangers

[LDF]

If you are talking about developing young players, I agree. On the other hand, I know you and others have been critical of the "country club" which was 100% designed to have players better prepared for the playoffs.

for discussion purpose.

when that country club shit stops working, then it time to go back to practices and trying to get 1 or 2 good starting lineup and build from there. put all d-men on a regular shift and hope for the best from a group of "not ready for prime time" goalies.

oh and change the freaking game-plan, a game plan that has stop working 2 yrs ago.

Surprised that Glass is starting. Forsberg is much better and more smooth.

 

[Salvaged Ship]

A 32 yeard old rookie is one of the very few midly interesting things about this team and its boring hockey right now. Its pretty much a snoozfest every game now. When you think of opening night and compare it to the teams play now its hard to believe. Boring hockey and with Crow out its a team with zero strengths right now.

Q is clearly just going with the "hot hand" in terms of the result. I agree that Forsberg is better, as Glass has been all kinds of shaky, but gotten away with it. There's a bunch of games upcoming, so they'll both get there opportunities. Is there any sort of time frame on Crow?

He’s a fun story in a boring season. Like Jamie Hersch said “Glass ceiling, broken.”

Oh, that's what it's all about. Prepping for the PO's & 100% yet. That's great when the team is playing hungry, not making lazy plays and winning .... and ALL players are playing responsible 2-way hockey, no matter how big their pay cheque is. How many games this season or in the last 2 playoffs have we seen that? Answer: Not many.

Sit Panik and dress Sharp. Slaps Q

 

[Blackhawks]

Glass sucks, let Forsberg get some major playing time, this coach is an idiot, almost as big of an idiot as the GM...

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Forsberg has way more talent than Glass.

When has Forsberg shown he is better? Let alone "much" better

Hawks need pts and right now Glass has earned pts in his two games. Cant afford to continue to play someone like Forsberg when he has shown so little

Blame Stanley for not solidifying the #2 position and putting all his eggs in the Forsberg basket which has proven a mistake

Forsberg has way more talent than Glass.

In theory sure

BWC is spinning this into a Bowman issue. I'm blown away.

Glass isn't a NHL level goalie.

 

[BobbyJet]

Except for the Bowman stuff, I agree with BWC this time. Fingers crossed that Glass can play well again.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

I have no idea how somebody can crap all over Crawford and be so high on Glass when Glass is the exact same type of goalie only worse at everything Bobby.

Um... Crawford is on IR. How did he get crapped on in this thread exactly. The choice is between Glass and Forsberg. Get with the program and quit making things up.

I'm talking about outside of this thread. Get with the program.

 

[BobbyJet]

I have praised CC's play all season long, and deservedly so. Hawks would be in deep doo doo if Crawford wasn't playing so well this season.

Forsling in but no Kempny or Rutta. Oesterle and Franson both stay. Oesterle stays after being a turnover machine. Guy doesn’t know what he’s watching.
