i will attempt to add some class to this thread by posting some classic scandinavian folk music.

nice shift bellemore

 

[Wolfpuck]

Their captain's intangibles are greater than our captain's

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Canes aren't skating, and you can't get away with that against a team like Chicago. So far it's been men against boys.

Unfortunately, I think that one is on Jordan Staal. Jordan had the middle coverage which kept both D a little wider (thinking Jordan had coverage) and he got caught flat footed which allowed Toews to split the D.

Edit: Of course, it doesn't help that the whole team isn't skating so the Hawks D has all day to make those stretch passes also.

Fourth line had a good shift there. Hope that starts something

 

[Cane mutiny]

Even the line changes look slow. Turkey pre-game dinner tonight? Hope they pick it up soon, or this could be ugly.

puck looks like it's bouncing everywhere

 

[FlyingSquirrels]

I hope we lose this game, and every other game, 6-0.

Don't let Arizona and Buffalo get away it!

 

[w e l o s t b o y s]

Has any other team gone an entire month without a win? That has to count for something.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Intangibles x 2

 

[Navin R Slavin]

3rd game in 4 nights, right?

I ain't even mad. Some games you're just bound to lose.

 

[Cane mutiny]

I don't care as much about getting the 1st/2nd pick as I do about getting rid of the loser mentality this team has had since 2009. It's deadly and we need to learn how to win. Might as well start now. I'll gladly leave the high picks and losing to Edm/Buf.

 

[Wolfpuck]

5 on 3

Better call your #timeout

That requires culture-change. Culture-change requires two things:

1.) A change in organizational philosophy. (Done!)
2.) A change in locker-room leadership. (Not hopeful.)

 

[Wolfpuck]

This game is going by mercifully fast

 

[Wolfpuck]

That makes me Saad

 

[Cane mutiny]

Ugh!

 

[Unsustainable]

Towes about had a natural trick. So Saad he didn't.
