You are spewing absolute nonsense lately. The Sharks and Bruins are two of the top teams in the league so I’m not shocked it was close albeit high scoring affair.
Ottawa is the worst team in the league. The Blackhawks barely beat them off the backs of of their top 2 lines. The defense and goaltending were absolutely atrocious. This is not a new development either, they have have both been porous all season.
That same Bruins team beat the Hawks pretty thoroughly, out worked them and the defense had absolutely nothing for them. Same thing happened against the Blue jackets. Coming across offense hasn’t been an issue, but I’m pretty sure we are bottom 5 in both defense and goaltending. If we played the Sharks tomorrow, we’d probably get murdered.
This team is fatally flawed, and even if the Hawks do manage to make the playoffs, they won’t be going anywhere. The team won’t be fixed this year. You telling everyone that two really good teams had a high scoring affair means the Hawks will be fine is very shortsighted. But we’ll see when the Hawks play a contender next, whenever that is.
I am spewing nonsense?? lol..
people are overreacting over every little damn thing- how can the Hawks be a playoff team in an 8-7 game with Ottawa?? really, like we constantly do not see examples like this almost nightly. look around the league, many of the top goaltenders are giving up goals, it isn't just a Hawks issue. even the best teams are getting scorched out there at times.
I never said this team isn't flawed, never said their defense is good, in fact I said to keep pouring it on offensively to try and beat teams 7-6 or 6-5 because that is what we are better suited for right now. but this ridiculous constant jumping on/jumping off by some of you people is hilarious, they are the same damn team they always have been and are literally knocking on the playoff door.
plus, we are still playing without our #1 goalie, the guy who has been a top 10 goalie the past few seasons...instead of the constant Dahlstrom isn't good now, Sikura won't be anything, Hawks suck posts, use some f***ing common sense/cool the knee jerk reactions and understand this team is flawed, but has the skill to be a playoff team..and IF they get their damn #1 goalie back, this team does get better in the GAA department as relying on a 24 year old and a 34 year old can only last so long.
