Bobby not you too!

 

[BobbyJet]

When the odds are as little as 7.6 % it is time to face the reality that the PO's are lost again - it would be different if the team was showing signs of consistency that would allow a lengthy winning streak.

It doesn't mean I won't be cheering for the team though. That will never change. Everything that happens between now and April and beyond should be geared toward improving this team to begin next season and going forward.
Deliberate tanking is for losers.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Crawford starting tonight.

Hopefully Lehner traded today...

Lafreniere hits, it's different!

 

[RememberTheRoar]

Hopefully Lehner traded today...

I guess Lehner admitted the other day that the deadline is weighing on him and it's affecting his play? Is that true?

If so, that's a bad sign. I get it sucks, but it's professional sports.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Hopefully Lehner traded today...

Rather sign him but that ship has sailed. But overall agreed trade him today and get one of the young guys up. Also trade Crawford and then get the other young guy up. Max return for both then bring back Cro in free agency.

Ya, I feel like Crow would come back as long as going to a contender for these playoffs is actually what he wants to do.

Crow wants to stay in Chicago. Do not trade him. We need a vet goalie to mentor Delia/Lankinen/whoever.

Agreed. I just want to see him in the playoffs, let's see what's there is game in and out.

Don't need a mentor for the last 22 games of the season. Get a good return for him and bring him back in the offseason.

Crow doesn't want to be traded. Let the man stay. I don't care about whatever 3rd round pick he'll land. He is apart of this core, and I'm tired of people disrespecting him. Show some damn loyalty.

Crawford starting tonight.

Damn, was hoping Lehner started to help with the tank!

He has a NTC, if he's getting traded then it's what he wants to do. You're just assuming things and for some reason being overly sensitive about feelings you made up for another person.

Disrespecting him? This coming from you and your Seabrook takes.
The core as it was is done musto. They've aged out. Trade him then bring him back. Isn't that hard, they dont owe these players anything anymore.

But, REFLEXES!

No way Lehner would ever allow six goals.

Sounds weird coming from him. I thought he was all about Lehner early in the year. Could be wrong though.

Seabrook is overweight and out of shape. He's pathetic.

Crow never slacks. Aside from some tough injuries that were out of his control, he's always been good.

Giving him the chance to choose between staying or joining a playoff run this year is somehow disrespectful? I'd say that's respecting his wants.

Then you bring him back next year.

What in the world is disrespectful in this scenario?

Keith literally said the Hawks came to him and asked whether he wanted to be part of all this, or move to a contender. That was about respecting Keith's wishes. He's choosing he wants to be here.

Agree with all this.

 

[RememberTheRoar]

Agree with all this.

You guys are over the top. We're talking about 22 games and a playoff run, then coming back.

This isn't disrespecting the guy if he wants to do it.
