Is this tbe night the Hawks offense finally comes back to life after the last 4 underwhelming examples of ptting pucks into opposing nets? Do Sharp,Hossa or Bickell...any of them..finally beat a goalie and score by doing that? HOSSA is credited with 1G but has not yet shot one past an opposing goalie..so you would think at least one of the 3 can snap out of it and score at least one goal tonight...yetgiven our overall putrid shooting,I would not wager the house money on any of them breaking the unepectedly unproductive shooting pattern tonight..I hope Iam wrong..but I would not bet against the pattern of disappointment for them continuing tonight..because while other teams seem to be facing goalies unable to stop beach balls,our guys seem to be facing Walls each night..you would think this pattern would reverse in our favour..but as O said...do not bet your money on it...hockey gods abandonong our vaunted prowess? Bad Karma forwinning the Cup so to be fair the HGs gotta go ahainst us this year? Whatever...until the HGs let some of our vaunted goal scorers resume normal shooting stat success, we must endure potentially a lot more continuing of the frustration. So if Watd is another Wall tonight...win or lose...you can expect the mounting unease about our offense to really vemt om the various boards and our demands that Q do sometjing about it...I expect an effort tonight from our guys but IF it is another opposing goalie stymie and Q shrigs what else can we do...well to stay in the same low scoring pattern is not going to be acceptable much longer. We do not pay the big salaries to stars of the core just to eke out 2-1 or 3-2 wins...though wins are better tham losses...BUT, come on, eventually we expect higher scoring production fron a team spending at this level...brcause we have gotten such before..to not get it is going to be seen as a huge FAIL..and a bitter shattering of expectation...So will the scoring rise to the level expected? It surely willbe a test for the statistocal reversion to the mean "laws" ..in other eords...the longer the offense stinks the morel the hockey gods owe us some "laughers" ...at least that is ehat is supposed to happen based on probabolity...tonight or nrxt game or the one after...some opponent surely will get a real spanking from our underachieving latent scoring depth...you would think!
