[CallMeShaft]

With this season damn near over and done with, it's time to look to the future. At the players who'll bring this franchise back from the dead. So I dedicate this GDT, our last GDT of the year, to those young guns looking at being difference makers here in the windy city.

Edmonton needs one more point than the Hawks in the 82nd game.

 

[clydesdale line]

Rooting for Cat to hit 30 goals. Hell, I'm hoping Saad gets 20 as well.

 

[Enyaw]

Take the loss ............. lets get that draft pick and restart this thing

Stan has his work cut out this offseason

 

[Teemu]

The Winnipeg Jets couldn't score a goal on an accountant

 

[Enyaw]

We want Tanner Glass !!!

 

[bwana63]

Tank city! Gotta go for the 7th slot.

 

[hawksfan50]

Hawks are leading both EDM and NYR on ROW by 1
..so if Hawks lose outright and Ed gets either an outright loss or 1 point via OTL or Shoot-out loss then Hawks claim 7th...If Hawks get 1 point and EDM gets 2 points then Hawks could finish 8th and EDM 9th IF NYR loses outright...If NYR gets 1 point and Hawks get 2 points then they draft ahead of us pre-lotto and we would draft 9th if EDM also gets 2 points and NYR gets 7th...

So lots of permutations. ..

 

[Dont Toews Me Bro]

Boring. Going to be paying attention to Blues/Avs tonight instead. Hoping for anything but an Avs regulation win.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

You want the Blues in?

 

[AmericanDream]

Jets do not have anything to play for outside of not getting injured, not sure how many players they rest which sucks for our tanking efforts.

 

[Zhamnov5GoalGame]

The Jets are sitting Trouba from last game's lineup.
And Roslovic who was a healthy scratch 2 games ago.

Pretty much the full lineup and should be Hellebuyck in net.
With a win he would become the American Goalie with the most wins in a single season (surpassing Barrasso).
Wheeler, Laine and Ehlers are chasing some stats.
But Chicago keeps beating us this year so all bets are off.

NYR tanking losing 5-0 so far to PHI..so we are in big danger if we get even 1 point to tie them as we lead the by 1 in ROW....if we get 2 points in a win then if NYI loses outright to Detroit tonight we would tie them but again we lead by 1 on ROW over them so we would then draft behind NYR AND NYI ...and of course we are tied in points with EDM and are drafting behind them currently because again we lead by 1 in ROW over them too..Boom line we must lose outright vandalism hope EDM gets at least a point ..rhen 7th is assured..Otherwise we could disastrously falk to 9th or 10th ..Then if a team drafting 11-15 pre'lotto draw wins a top 3 in lotto we get bumped back..In likely 2 cone from behind to bump us down but 1 is possible reslistically ..and so Drafting 12th the Blackhawks trade the pick? I am just putting forth a worst case scenario that is quite realistic unless we Tank this and cement the 7th with a hold or bump back maybe 1 to 8th ...the jockey gods ate just not going to give us a break and win a lot into the top 3..Nope...it is just Not our tear for any breaks..so we gotta make the break ourselves and lose this game outright and 0ray EDM gives us a boistcwith a point (their reward will be that the hockey gods of course give EDM Dahlia. .but hey the dark clouds are upon Uas..so we gotta really really ensure WPG beats us in regulation tonight.. (but I fear Keith actually stars with some kind of 4 point game ...you know just to put the screws to our season horrible. . AS I said...we then probably trade the 12th pick after the horrors of tonight clearance fail in the lotto draw Co ingnup.

Atta boy Q. Tanking this one to the end.

 

[CallMeShaft]

Final one.

Hawks have contained Laine quite well this season. That may come to an abrupt end as he hasn't scored for a few games and he guns for his 45th goal.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Nice to see Glass back up to finish out year

 

[Krivo25]

Glass is our tank commander tonight!

 

[clydesdale line]

Man Schmaltz has a hell of a shot. Needs to use it more next season.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Schmaltz puts Jets right back on PP with slashing penalty

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Martinsen is a moron

Why did Stanley sign this bum? What a joke of a player

Clear board of Jet to give the Jets a 5 on 3

And Buff makes it 1-0 and they stay on PP

 

[pvr]

Byfuglien punctuating the Hawks’ demise...an original piece of the puzzle unfortunately lost too soon.

Well he didn't sign him. He was what he could get for Kyle Baun who was a free agent and Martinsen helped rockford a lot this year

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Correction

Stanley traded for bum and he should never have been called up to play for Hawks
