Excellent. Now for an encore...

The Hawks are 7-3 in their last 10, and have only picked up one point on any of TB, FL, and CAR. And they still have played 3-4 games more than any of them.

March is basically the playoffs. They’re either going to hang with those three clubs, or get scraped. We nearly exclusively play them through March.


Tampa and Florida have 5 more games against each other, Tampa has 3 more against Carolina. Florida and Carolina matchup 6 more times.

Someone has to lose some games.

Yeah? You think we’re going to give up shot totals like this to TB, FL, CAR, or DAL and come out 7-2 on the good? You’re one hell of an optimist. Do you have Lankinen winning both the Calder and the Vezina?

Total shot count = basically nothing in the evaluation of a game or a goalie's performance.
Sometimes I wish stats weren't even recorded.

A better response game? WHEN youbgetboutcsgotcso badly?

It was a Laugher forvtyexHawksxaftervtgecsplurgevifvgoalsvin the 3rd...but it was NOT your classic "Laugher"...usually in such big score wins you barrage the opps....in a sense areverse of last game when Hawks coukd not buy many goalscfromntgeir barrage and domination of possession and Detroit capitalized on their fewer chances and Detroit got the better goaltending...sobin that game stats lied.....Tomight the exact same thing in reverse....Hawjjs were the capitalists and gotvtge better goaltending....so neither gamevwentvacvordibgvto expectation given the possession stats.

That's hockey...it does notvalwayscgobto plan.


2 thing for sure though....Hawks closer to a bottom feeder like Detroit than to the REAL CONTTENDER teams who Dominate AND actualky then outscore the opos CONSIDTTENTLY ...whonfo as expected most ofvtge games they pkay.


So TB coming up...The truth will be on display. Give up 45 shots to TB and I doubt Hawks will be laughing.

Yeah, lets just ignore the fact that Detroit racked up those shot totals by just flipping it on net from either the blue line or the boards over and over again. Again, if those teams want to do that so that they can flirt with 50 shots they can go nuts.

And someone is always going to gain 2 points. OT and both teams gain. Those situations are tough to gain ground against.

I’m aware. It’s a byproduct of team defense. The goaltender certainly can’t control how many shots he faces.

The point is, when there's 16 and 12 or so point spreads left of those top teams playing each other...lots points at the top of the standings are still a guaranteed loss.


Thus, we don't have any massive pressure to win all the games against the best teams, just have to maintain as best as we can and hopefully do well against the other teams like Dallas/Nash.

They're saying how Kane deserved to have no fans for his 400th and that all Hawks players are scummy and that kind of garbage...like jeez, they're crazy jealous of us :laugh:

The butthurt is strong with that fan base. I'm sorry (not but not really) that DeToilet is 2 years away from 2 years away from being 2 years away from 2 years away.................

Interesting race on the Hawks for Worst Shooting % ...the leader board is tied at ZERO% between Keith and Kampf...

Who will break the logjam first? Or will they both finish the season as Zero guys?
