Post-Game Talk: EVERYBODY PANIC (or not), Hawks lose in Colorado

[No Fun Shogun]

Whelp..... that was not a good start to the circus trip, but hopefully we rebound off of it.

That was the game I wanted the Hawks to win the most on this trip.

 

[Sevanston]

The Hawks tilted the ice after the 1st period, but the Avs still ended up with more pucks in the net.

Whenever we play the Avalanche or Oilers, in the back of my mind I expect a blowout. Still frustrating to see it happen. Horrible effort to start the 1st, but the Hawks dominated the majority of the game. It was one of those games where nothing went our way.

 

[SLarmer28*]

Quite embarrassing!

Chicago Blackhawks outscored 12-3 in the last two road games against division opponents.

 

[HockeySauce]

Someone needs to be.. fired? Yeah, that's it - fired.

And yes, I did mean that literally.

Crawford, lookin at you bud.

 

[Taze em]

Before all the freakout posts commence: Shots 37-23. 40 minutes of the game were played entirely in the Avalanche end. No puck luck, bad TOs to get us in a hole.

Pirri was good, Smith had his best game of the season. It's just one of those nights. The Predators game was much worse.

Good sign for our season... we got run by the Avs last year and won a cup. Hope Bickell is OK but I have to think Morin is on his way to the airport now to meet the team.

Which goal was his fault?

 

[No Fun Shogun]

I'm pretty sure he's being sarcastic, guys.

.... or I hope.

 

[Pepe Silvia]

This team sucks. I'm embarrassed to be a fan

 

[theaub]

Tear down the banners and move to Atlanta

 

[Pepe Silvia]

I missed most of the game, but after seeing the highlights Crawford got screwed over. Some of those turnovers leading to goals were brutal. But putting in Raanta was the right move

 

[Taze em]

Tear down the banners and move to Atlanta

No more televised home games for these Blackhawks until morale improves!

 

[HockeySauce]

I meant someone literally needs to be fired. As in with fire.

It's the only way folks.

Drastic times call for drastic measures.

Set all the defensemen on fire. Problem solved

 

[ChiGuySez]

Crawford is now #30 in save%.

Time to seriously work in Raanta.

#Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said Bryan Bickell could be out "a bit" w/injury. Hawks may need to make move, but salary cap an issue.

Bryan Bickell could be a little more than day to day with lower-body injury. Salary cap will play into any #Blackhawks callup, Q says.

Well the first decision should be to send Brookbank down and call up an actual forward.

Dammit Bowman, I thought you waz capologist?

.. except a sent down Brookbank's caphit still counts against the Hawks cap.

 

[ChiGuySez]

Q likes Brookbank at forward.

 

[zytz]

RE: my Bickell comment at the end of the game thread I had missed the game, and was speaking more generally about his effort- didnt realize he missed most of the game. Sounds like he had a reason for being invisible tonight though

And re: business decisions that have to be made, maybe with Steeger back we can look at moving Bickell. His contract makes me ill

 

[Kurtosis]

Not all of it does. Still not a wise move anyway since they need him for depth on the blue line in case someone goes down there too. It's gonna be a tight squeeze moving forward for a period.
