GDT: Hawks vs Avs..Q vs. Roy..8pm CST

[HawkinMI]

Yeah, not much gonna happen tonight. Poor Raanta, hopefully his next NHL action is more within his control.

I think the biggest problem is me putting off homework to watch the Hawks. Did it in the Nashville game too. Soo... time to do that I guess. Night guys

With the new alignment we could end up playing these guys in the playoffs potentially every year. Q needs to figure out a way to beat them.

Don't just put this on Q

Q isn't the one on ice turning puck over and looking lost every game vs Avs

Enjoy the 3rd period everyone

It's not difficult, what would Minnesota do? Slow the **** out of the game from start to finish and play defense-first hockey.

Why was 19 so gassed he couldn't skate an up and back full out? Parenteau pulled away and the Captain stopped skating.

Hey, it's a learning experience. Hawks are used to being able to use their speed and skill to fix mistakes before they turn too costly, but against other fast teams that advantage can actually turn into a liability.

Have full confidence that we'll be able to bring a different game plan against these guys if/when it really matters should our usual style of play continue to not work against them. Still too early to say we have to blow up our usual style of play, though.

No. The Hawks are cup champs. The Hawks are the better team. The Hawks dictate the way the game is played. That period is 3-0 hawks most nights.

Out partying for Kaner's b-day last night.

he just skated all the way up the ice, and skated back full speed, plus only 11 forwards tonight.

Brilliant assessment. Must be that UI education.

Must be the thin air in Denver

That thin Rocky Mountain air ain't enough for a lot of our guys tonight. Avs just looking fast too!

 

[Oh_so_saad]

This is all brookbanks fault

Well he hasn't helped

Oh, I agree. Bull**** period all the way, but either we start the game like that or close down the hatches all game long.

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

I blame Agassiz Elem. School.

Punk ass kids!

Well, I thought we played circles around them in the second, just no puck luck.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Yay a throwaway game.....

 

[Bring Back GLR]

In 48 games last year we were only ever blown out twice or completely out of a game early on. Twice by my count one to the Avs and one to the Oil. So far we've had two after 21 games. Nashville and now this clunker.

 

[Sevanston]

Yay a throwaway game.....

Still better than a throwaway season.

 

[deytookerjaabs]

Wow.

 

[CPHawksFan]

How stupid to put Raanta in this game...his confidence is probably blown now

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

lol Sharp, nice dump in.

If two goals in two periods is enough to destroy his confidence, better to find out sooner rather than later.

 

[Taze em]

Pirri has played well

No kidding. Everyone needs to back away from the ledge and take a deep breath.
