[No Fun Shogun]

At least we got a point. Also, clearly know that Raanta's not ready for the shootout.

"Bad" is an understatement.

Okay I'm bored with losing, let's try winning again.

Boooooooo. Lately we've been pretty unsightly. Toews MIA, Sharp & Keith's cataracts are acting up, Shaw & Bickell out, Handzus in the top 6, Nordstrom in the lineup, and Mr. Unmentionable riding the bus.

Why doesn't Q use Handzus in the shootout? He's like a career 47%

The real Hawks never came back from the circus trip.

20-6-5 ,, This team is done

Not even good enough to make playoffs in East

Q's favoritism is really starting to hurt the team. Hopefully one day he'll figure out that Sharp has been atrocious in shootouts his entire career.

It would take too much TV time. Games need to end.

 

[HawkinMI]

Frustrating, but we shouldn't have won that one anyway.

Q needs to stop toying with the lineup when things are working, and Raanta needs to just calm down. He plays fine but just does not handle these pressure situations well yet.

Only explanation I can think of is that it would be too obvious of a move. Q don't like dat.

Lets use a faceoff/shootout specialist as our 2nd line center but not for shootouts!

 

[Marina]

Maybe Q will switch the lines around now.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Hopefully the Hawks take a lesson from these losses and refocus their effort in a consistent way, rather than thinking that they can just skate and expect to pick up wins while taking parts of games off, as has habitually been the case.

Gotta keep him fresh for the top six.

Sharp - Toews - Hossa
Brookbank - Bollig - Kane
Brookbank - Nordstrom - Versteeg
Bollig - Kruger - Smith

Well played.

Why'd you turn my pre-game talk thread into a GDT again? This does not bring Hawks victories.

Whuuuuu? Other than the shootout he was quite good. Maybe a bit nervous handling the puck but....he rocked it dude

 

[CPHawksFan]

Happy just to get one point out of this game...seriously...happy.

Sharp - Toews - Hossa

Actually you forgot to slot Brookbank in at 6D for part of the game.

But the shootout was when we needed him most.

Cause it was there! Stop make pre games, you monster!

AKA, I was too lazy to make a GDT after everyone else was also too lazy to make a GDT and wait are we the same board that always criticizes this team for a lack of effort?
