The fact that Mashinter is playing over Tikhonov is an indictment of Joel Quenneville's roster management.

feel like im the only one who agrees with you about this roster management. plenty enough talent on this team to make the playoffs.
And when TT walks in two years because of Panarin's contract (or offer sheet match) it'll be just as easy to say "wish we would have gone for it in 2015-2016".
Not a single fan I know is clamoring to bring in a vet who's contract runs beyond next season. This team is missing ONE PIECE.

Fixed it for you.

If y'all didn't see a difficult year coming you must have been living under a rock. While there's a lot of talent left on this team, we lost a lot as well. And I think everyone had an idea that our D in particular would struggle. Buckle up, it's gonna be a bumpy one, this season.

Agree that Mashinter should not be playing but Tikonov has done nothing either. Neither offer much.

watch the game, everything else is noise
Not really much difference between the two players. Neither has any offense to their game and Masher is bigger, stronger and won't get pushed around. Considering how wimpy this team is in general, I understand why Q feels the need to play him over Tiko.
LOL, just watching the game last night, I told my wife that Toews is my favourite player in the NHL, including any Canuck. First guy I'd take in a draft.

So this game shows how it goes when you are a meh team...You play vomit the 2 prior games but still get 3/4 points...Then in game 3 of the Circus Trip ...you play better...much better than you did 8n the prior 2 games but manage to snatch defeat by playing garbage the final 5 minutes....Toews plays his best game in the last 8 scores a "normal" goal by skating with pace fir a change and getting g off a clear shot for a change to score...Then later in the game he gives it right back by taking a lazy stick penalty on the PK giving them a 5 on 3 on which they convert...Anisimov s ores tge tying goal then the next shift line #2 is on after that they are on for the 4th VAN goal...
Kane not close to his check but still CC should have made the save on what looked like a routine shot where CC was square to the shot angle and saw it because no screen 8nfro t of him..Most goalies would have stopped that shot...But CC fumbles it and it sneaks up off his arm and idy into the net...As Q put CC''s play in net last night....just OK (we know what that means in Q-speak)....so CC makes the big save to get us tge win in EDM...but blows a routine square to tge shot angle unscrewed shot to lose us tge game in VAN in the last few minutes when the game is on the line...In all these cases...inconsistency. ..good play bad play bad play good play...netting us MEH after 21 GP...no traction to consistently top level play with All parts (forwards,Dmen,and Goalies pulling on the oars at the same time and for several games in a row..Too inconsistent...

Neither should be playing... They both belong in the AHL.
Crawford was awful in this game. There is no way to argue otherwise. How many times did he get beat shortside? How many times was he down on his knees early? Absolutely brutal.

RIP Fugu
How many times did Hawks leave Canuck wide open? How many times did Hawks leave man alone in front of CC?
Crawford was not good but he got absolutely no help from rest of team
Not enough times for him to give up 5 goals on 19 shots... He wasn't just "not good", which implies he might have been OK. He was awful. He was slow to react, had zero anticipation, was off his angles and out of position, and down early the entire night. He makes six million dollars a season. His performance against Vancouver is what I expect from an injury call-up... At no point did he look like an NHL caliber goalie in that game.
The Hawks have a bunch of guys still trying to learn the system. That's when your big money goalie needs to at least be AVERAGE.

Thanks for that. It's been brought up a few times but the more the better!
The question they will indeed answer is can this team go 8-0 over the next eight?!
Something hasn't quite gelled with them yet .. is it a trade or a shuffle of our existing players, I don't know.
Maybe a group meditation.

Manshinter isn't an NHL player clearly, but Tik hasn't been productive either.

And that is not about to change very soon. It was obvious from the outset that Hawks' goalies will see more rubber this season.
When CC's fundamentals aren't perfect, he's in a world of hurt. Darling has not yet reached the level of play we saw from him last season either but it seems to be coming.
I think everyone who reads this board knows where I stand on this subject, hence I'm just going to sit back and let things unfold. Q is stubborn but he's not stupid.
