go away, Malkin is the last person to blame for the loss tonightAnother bad penalty by Malkin turning the game. He’s infuriating to watch play.
Hawks have a solid powerplay the last ten games and aren’t as bad as their record reflects. Crawford basically being injured out of the league destroys them.
This idea that the Hawks outplayed us tonight is just bizarre.
That 3rd period was so bad that the Hawks, on the whole, outplayed us tonight.
PIT had a very solid first 5on5, mediocre 2nd and an awful 3rd with the energy/execution dropping each period.
can't really blame any of the dman tonight, I thought Maatta had strong game, however that clear was inexcusable (Rust's was even worse)Also, Maatta and JJ have been better but they lost us tonight. They are still the issue with this squad and if JR wants to blind himself with an under performing Brassard we won’t go anywhere this year.
Upgrade Maatta and this team is the best in the league.

They're still not a good team. But truthfully it doesn't much matter. Because we are a good team in this era, and there shouldn't be any team that can constantly beat us like this, no one!Hawks have won 7 of 12. They had a bad start because of Crawford let’s be honest. That squad should be way better.

Anaheim just lost 8 in a row. I'd suspect a trade coming soon.

If the Isles, CBJ and BUF all win on Tuesday and we lose in regulation again, we’ll be out of a PO spot...that’s how tight the East is and how much it hurts to have regulation losses now...
+ Malkin - seems like he is back to his old self
+ Simon - looked good and almost scored a goal
+ Chicago Sports Fans - hey.. at least they got some sort of win today
- Desmith - looked like an average backup goalie AT BEST - get Murray back in there and limit Desmith's exposure
- Kessel - rough game
- Brassard - horrible player for the cap hit
Knew this was coming. That’s why...
