GDT: Red Wings @ Blackhawks 7pm NBCSN

[Hattrick Kane]

This powerplay experiment needs to end

 

[RayP]

Dunno why Boqvist is rushing the puck up on the PP and then throwing it 20 feet behind him to someone else.

 

[TLEH]

push them back entry needs variance. We literally have one entry and it barely works.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Bad pp with 3 lost draws and the only sog from Keith is not what they needed.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Don’t need to see Subban in net for at least the next 10 games.

 

[HLLYWD99]

so no way that KL gives that goal up...

Subban should NEVER play two games in a row

Might be the end of this experiment.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

bad goaltending and bernier played well... what this game boiled down to

 

[featherhawk]

Might be the end of this experiment.

hopefully...

I said early today that I would be playing KL back 2 back...

Subban sucks balls, he is a rebound machine, is positionally terrible which results in him flopping around on the ice like a fish, at times he makes a nice save as a result but for the most part he sucks

 

[featherhawk]

bad goaltending and bernier played well... what this game boiled down to

ya Bernier has stolen the number 1 job in Detroit. I am actually surprised the Edmonton has not tried to get Bernier or Griess from Yzerman

 

[BobbyJet]

Subban looking like the Subban we thought we had acquired tonight. Couldn't stop a beach ball and it was too late to pull him.

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

Dunno why Boqvist is rushing the puck up on the PP and then throwing it 20 feet behind him to someone else.

That's coaching, it's the push back entry and that's what they've been doing for years.

 

[Geoist]

Debrincat, why you no shoot?!

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Colliton needs to quit over thinking and go back to exactly what was working. Because this right here isn’t working.

 

[TLEH]

We also have not buried our chances at all.

 

[featherhawk]

Colliton needs to quit over thinking and go back to exactly what was working. Because this right here isn’t working.

yup!

 

[Callidusblackhawk]

Debrincat, why you no shoot?!

He's been making some weird passes lately.

 

[HawkeyTalkMan]

He could easily have a hat trick tonight with the chances he's had.

ironically too, staal is absolutely toasted but he finds a way to give kane fits still

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Really bad loss.

Bernier was great

team D was horrible

Kane couldn’t finish

pk has been awful of late

Subban bad

zadorov was the worst player on the ice.

must win game tomorrow.

 

[deytookerjaabs]

We need 2 more in 12 seconds!

 

[HawkeyTalkMan]

That's coaching, it's the push back entry and that's what they've been doing for years.

it's literally the neutral zone blueprint strategy we have done for years and every unit does it. I hate it and I don't know why we are adamant on doing it. it's also boqvists biggest weakness, his drop passes on the push back need a lot of work

 

[WeAreSoPucked]

Clean up in aisle 3.

 

[surfzone365]

Awful loss. Hawks made them look like the 1997 Red Wings. It was a stinker but hopefully they atone for their f-ups next game. FFS...

 

[SimpleJack]

This is what this season is for, learning. And i think we learned tonight that Subban needs to remain the backup. This should not be a 1A and 1B scenario for the rest of the season with both him and Lankinen alternating and playing an even amount.

The defense, mainly de Haan and Zadorov, continues to scare me too. I honestly feel more comfortable about the rookies right now than i do with those 2. Its sad.

Overall the team can't be giving up this many goals to DET. Combined pathetic display by our goalie and the team defense. This is what you're gonna get.

But again, we learned something. However small it may be. We 100% know(and this hasn't changed since opening night and never will this season) that we aren't winning the Cup. If we make the playoffs and get another mini-post season run for the youth(added experience)?? Great. If not? So what, we're a young, steadily improving team that's without its top 2 centers(EDM, TOR, PIT, etc...picture these teams, or any team, dealing with that same thing. Not so easy to make the post season now is it?). We're rebuilding. And for the 2nd straight year i see Hawks players names flooding the rookie leaderboards. Heading in the right direction either way.

Like I've been saying its an odd feeling, at least for me, not having to worry. Not having any stress following a loss. The big picture is all that matters. Its an enjoyable part of the ride. We're fun to watch, and we've got nothing to lose/zero expectations.

 

[Brightwing]

Like I said, we weren't going to win 8 games against Detroit and we're not going to lose 8 games against Tampa. Let's move on. We had some bad puck luck but then against Columbus they sure hit a lot of posts.

We can't make too much out of this.

 

[Geoist]

The defense, mainly de Haan and Zadorov, continues to scare me too. I honestly feel more comfortable about the rookies right now than i do with those 2. Its sad.

It's sad, but at the same time it's reassuring of the future of this team's defense. We all know CdH and Zadorov are not the future.
