Lines Today......

Don't be ridiculous. Crawford's hurt.

what a freaking idiot this clown is, how Mcdonaugh and stan have not fired him is beyond me.

the team won't play effectively for Q any more, Q's message is stale and it does not sink in any longer.

every coach has a shelf life with a team and Q's was up a long time ago.

move along already for christ sake, just look at those lines, they are lines that person with cognitive impairment would come up with.

 

[TLEH]

Yeah. These are just brutal lines

 

[Blackhawks]

This team is just not very skilled, It doesn’t even have a legit first line, it’s filled with overpaid underachievers, there is only so much a coach can do, who’s fault is it that Toews and Saad arnt producing regardless who is on their wing, they are getting paid $17M combined, those 3 first liners are eating up $20 of the cap, there is no excuse for not putting the puck in the net, what can Q really do about that? Do they really need another 7M winger to produce? If Toews wanted those kind of wingers then maybe he shouldn’t have been so greedy, Toews has destroyed this team not Q. Hey but he gets to grow his own vegetables now and eat his vegan diet to protect the cows lol

Well, people wanted the lines more balanced.

Let me parse the Bourma presence on a line with DeBrincat and Schmaltz for y'all armchair eye-testers:
Designated shooter, set-up man, net front presence... makes perfect sense... in Quenneville's hockey mind...

Actually, the much bigger head-scratcher is putting Saad on the Kane line, because those two have had virtually no history of "synergy", much like Hossa and Kane. It might look good on paper, but it's been proven it simply does NOT work on the ice.

Kane and Saad have played together before, and formed our best line in 2014 playoffs vs. LA with Shaw as the C, IIRC.

Comparing those 2 to Kane and Hossa is also silly, considering Hossa was a RW like Kane, while Saad is a LW

My biggest frustration, in terms of lineups/roster is Osterle. We are carrying 8 defenseman because they don't want to lose him via waivers, yet he never plays, ever. Meanwhile, the forward group could clearly use some new blood mixed in but we can only carry Kero, who's just a guy. I don't understand it. If the Hawks are so afraid to lose Osterle, why has he only played 4 games? How big of a loss can it be, if he can't crack the lineup more than once every 8 freaking games. Especially when there are several forwards like Bouma, Sharp and Panik who deserve to sit.

Not to mention the fact that Kempny continually sits, and it's completely unwarranted. Two years in a row this guy has been dicked around by Q and this organization. Just ridiculous that Franson is playing over him nightly. A guy who only can do one single thing on NHL ice anymore - get a shot through on a PP, plays over a guy who has the potential to be a top 4 defender in the NHL.

They were literally just playing some great hockey on a 6 or 7 game points game streak. Thsee views are ridiculously filled with preconceived notions vs the results.

Lol the Hawks were not ever playing "great hockey" this year

 

[ModryJazyk]

wow, panik really must have really pissed off Q during last game. btw do any remember how many mins he played

Panik stopped play physically (important part of his play) and that's the relevant reason, not that he scored one or two less meaningless goals than Saad or Toews (like some fans think about it).
